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.
Apollo Jr was adopted but returned because he had too much energy for his new family. He also needs training as his exuberance about life can get a little out of control at times. Apollo is dog selective and would be best as an only dog without expectations that he is going to have a dog social personality. NOTE: Apollo is very active as well as dog selective. He can not go to an apartment/condo. He needs a yard where he can be exercised. A daily walk isn't going to be enough for him. Dog parks are not an option for him. We don't want him to get adopted and returned again, so we are searching for the right home for him.
Apollo Jr was transferred to us from a high kill shelter in Texas so we don't have a background or history. We don't know if he lived with other pets, or children, or if he was housetrained. He is a friendly dog who wants attention. He is a nice little guy and a perfect size for someone who wants a medium sized dog, but isn't a good pick for apartment life. He is a very athletic guy, who can climb up fences to see what is going on next door. Apollo also seems to be dog selective, and we don't think he would do well in a home with cats or other small pets. We are trying to find him a home where he would be the only dog. Some dogs just prefer to have their family to themselves! If interested please fill out the pre-adoption application and we will notify you to set up a meet if we feel it could be a good match.
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!
