Take the Pet Home
Jumanji was adopted by a wonderful woman who loved him very much, but due to some medical problems, she needed to return him. He is now once again looking for a home. He has learned to walk on a leash and was working on housetraining. He doesn't need another dog but should do fine with other pets, and a fenced yard or potty area would be nice, but he does walk on a leash.
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. If clicking on the link doesn't work, just copy/paste into a browser to get to the application.
Jumanji came from a commercial breeder who was no longer going to use him for breeding. He is a sweet guy becoming more comfortable with human handling everyday. He tends to spin in circles, likely from living in a kennel for so long. This may get better after he figures out he has more space to move around than just a kennel run. He has been neutered and had his teeth cleaned, and is now ready to find a loving home.
Dogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often scared/shy/skittish), and probably never lived in a house. They need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like television is. They will need a patient adopter who will give them the time they needs to adjust and learn to trust people. Every baby step forward needs to be celebrated, and the dog needs to be accepted for who they are at each step. Some dogs can adjust quickly and learn how to be a loved pet pretty easily. Others take a long time to even be comfortable with things like walking through the house. No matter how far and how fast the breeder dogs progress, they are wonderful dogs and deserve a great home after being used the first part of their lives for making puppies. A fence (or at least a fenced in potty area) is highly recommended and may be required for certain dogs. Another small dog in the house can also help many former breeders adjust faster to life in a home and may be required in some cases.
To assist you and your new pet in adjusting to life together, you may chose to take an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training in Mukwonago, WI for $75 (up to $230 value). You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, or Small Dogs Big Hearts. You must register for 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. 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.

Thanks for thinking about adopting your new pet!
***We are a Wisconsin based rescue and do not ship our pets. If you are considering adoption you must be willing to drive to meet and adopt the pet, as well as bring the pet back to us if the adoption doesn't work. We adopt primarily in WI and IL, but will consider applicants in MN, IA, and MI.***
***Please do not set up an appointment to meet the animals until you are ready to take your pet home. If the meeting results in a match, you can often take the dog/cat home the same day or within a couple days if the medical care hasn't been completed. We are not able to hold pets for adopters beyond this time. Thanks for understanding.***
***While we hope all of our adoptions lead to permanent homes for the animals we place, sometimes things just don't work out. We do have a 30 day trial period. For the first 30 days, if you or Bichon and Little Buddies decide that the adoption isn't a good match for either the humans or the pet, the adoption fee will be refunded minus $75 within 30 days of the return of the dog. Bichon and Little Buddies also requires adopters to return the pet to us at any time that they are unable or unwilling to care for the animal anymore.***
***We do not show dogs without an appointment. The first step in adoption is filling out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog Please do not call/email until AFTER you have filled out an application.***
Bichon and Little Buddies is a State Licensed Rescue # 268555-DS
