General Profile: Please fill out the adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs.
Harley and Wonda came to Bichon & Little Buddies from another humane society where they had been brought in by their owner. Harley is about 6 years old and we believe Wonda is his daughter and is about 3 years. They have been spayed/neutered and had their teeth cleaned (and some extracted). They are very shy and fearful of new people. They are very small dogs, so looking for a home without large dogs and no young children. They will need a family that is willing to give them the time they need to adjust, trust, and bond. Undersocialized little ones can take quite some time to adjust - it isn't a matter of days, it can be weeks or more before their true personality begins to appear. When scared they retreat and hide until they are comfortable again. Maybe you are the one that will be the perfect fit for this little couple. These two cuties have started to trust their caretakers and will climb on their laps to get some attention but still prefer not to be picked up. They use potty pads at the shelter.
We do our best to evaluate the dogs while they are with us, but they sometimes act different in the shelter environment than they do in a home. If you are interested in any of our dogs, please fill out the pre-adoption application and we will set up a time for you to come and meet them.
To assist you and your new pet in adjusting to life together, you will also receive an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training for $50 (up to $200 value). You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, Small Dogs Big Hearts, or Shy & Reactive Dog Class. You must start the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee. For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc
All dogs are seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Many are in various foster homes getting extra one on one attention getting them ready for their new homes. The first step in adoption is filling out the pre-adoption application. Bichon and Little Buddies is run by volunteers who have full time jobs in addition to the hours they spend with the rescue dogs. Having an application on file assures us that the potential adopter is really interested in adopting a dog. It also assists us in placing dogs in homes where both the dog and new owners are happy. The application puts you under no obligation to adopt a dog from Bichon and Little Buddies.
The Dog Pre-Adoption Application can be found at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog
Thanks for thinking about adopting your new pet!
