Josette (Josie) and all her little babies (Hugo, Louie, Chanel & Coco) were part of a domestic violence situation & had to be removed immediately from their home. They are now safely in a foster home, but they are teeny tiny and can squeeze through the picket fence at their new digs. We are hoping to find them a new place to stay as soon as possible where they will be more secure. None of the dogs are spayed or neutered yet, but all either WILL BE prior to being adopted (if they are an appropriate age) OR we will make arrangements with families to return them when they reach the appropriate age so that we can take care of the surgery. They will be fully vetted to the best of our ability based on their age, and spaying and neutering that can be done prior to adoption will be done. All four of Josie's little pups are extremely loving, playful and mischievous, and Josie is also extremely loving & very playful. We can't leave any of her babies alone long or they get into quite a bit of trouble. If you've never experienced the shenanigans of a bichon puppy, brace yourself for some fun! Potential adopters are required to have a sense of humor! A secure yard would be a big plus, and another playful dog would also be helpful so you don't have to run yourself ragged playing with your new puppy friend! OR, you could always adopt TWO! If you are interested in momma Josie, she's a sweetheart. Right now she is very protective of her little puppy crew. She will be a sad momma for sure when they start to go off to their new homes, but there's not much we can do about it. We want her to be able to stay with them as long as possible, so we will probably make her the last to go.. Go to www.dvbr.org to fill out an application for Josie or one of her pups. Once we have it we will be in touch. Please be patient as we anticipate many applications. You can also get to our application by simply copying & pasting this link into your browser: https://dvbr.wufoo.com/forms/zoa3yk4014ohn8/ . We are working on housetraining, but Hugo, Louie, Chanel & Coco are puppies, so that process will need to be completed by their adoptive families. They have a good start though! Josie is much better in that regard, although due to their tiny size & our picket fence, we have had to keep them confined to the house. We are trying to work out a solution to that problem. At the moment we have puppy pads down, but that only works if dogs are trained on them in the first place.

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.

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

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.

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.
