My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hugo and all his buddies came from a home where there was a domestic violence situation. They needed to be removed immediately because they were in danger. Hugo is just like his brother! Playful, lovable and mischievous. He's teeny tiny and can fit through VERY tiny spaces so he'll need to be watched carefully. Don't consider adopting Louie unless you have a great sense of humor, lots of energy, and plenty of time on your hands for house training and entertaining a bichon puppy! If you are interested, go to our website, fill out an application and someone will be in touch as soon as we have reviewed it.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Once an application is submitted, it will be reviewed by one of our volunteers and the family's vet will be contacted for a reference.

2.

Home Check

If the family passes step 1, we schedule a home visit. If possible, we bring the dog along during the home visit.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

Following the home visit, IF the family is approved for that specific dog and all parties are agreeable, an adoption contract is signed.

Additional adoption info

Submit Application, Home Visit, Adoption Contract. Families are required to return the dog to the rescue if there is ever a time they cannot keep the dog for the remainder of his or her life.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Meeting our pets is done on an appointment basis, usually at your home, but occasionally at their foster homes. However, step one is an adoption application so that we can make sure that you would be an appropriate home for the dog you are interested in adopting. In this way, no one's time is wasted. So please complete an application first. Once that's been accomplished, someone will contact you about the next step.

More about this rescue

Delaware Valley Bichon Rescue is a 501c3, non-profit, all-volunteer organization that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes bichons and bichon mixes (and when necessary, their companions) who find themselves in need of a new home. We work with vets, shelters and private families who need our assistance. We take dogs in any condition and of any age, as long as we can find a foster home for them. We are a foster-based organization and therefore we do not have a facility. For that reason, the first step in our adoption process is an application.
