Story
About Me: Name: Marigold Breed (or best guess): Chihuahua/Beagle/Pug type mix Approximate Age: 6 months Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 7 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Patient, loving family Why In Rescue: stray/lost dog Profile: Meet Marigold - a sunshiny little pup who is learning that the world can be kind. Marigold is happy, playful, and affectionate once she feels safe. She loves toys and is wonderfully entertaining because she can happily play independently for stretches of time. At bedtime, her favorite place is right beside you, sharing your pillow. She can be a little cautious with new people and sudden movements startle her. If someone reaches for her too quickly she may submissively pee. She does best when allowed to approach at her own pace rather than being reached for. With patience, gentle handling, and encouragement, her confidence continues to grow every day. This smart girl has already learned how to manage stairs and is making progress with housetraining. Like many puppies her age, she'll need consistency and routine as she continues learning. Marigold would thrive with a patient family who understands that building trust takes time and kindness. A family with no children, or only older children would be best, as fast movements from children could be too much for her to handle at first. We don't have a background or history about Marigold as she was taken to Milwaukee Animal Control as a found dog. She is being spayed and having her cherry eye repaired on 5/27, so will be able to go home after that. If interested in adoption, the first step is filling out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog If link isn't clickable, please copy/paste or visit http://www.bichonrescues.com. Please note, filling out inquiry forms on Petfinder or Adoptapet and/or their application forms does not constitute an application for one of our dogs. Priority in responding to inquires and applications is always to the applications filled out on our website, time constraints limit the number of other inquires we can reply to. 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. Many times we do not know the actual breed/mix or age of the dog, in that case we use our best guess as to breed and age. We are located in Mukwonago, WI. Adopters must come to us, we do not ship our dogs. Please do not apply for a dog until you are ready to adopt. Once an application is approved you will be notified by email to make an appointment to meet the dog. All dogs are seen by appointment only. The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $495 for most adults and up to $650 for puppies which includes Wi State Sales Tax. Included in this fee is your new companion who will be spayed/neutered, have a current Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (as required by state law), current on age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm tested (if old enough) and started on preventative, microchipped, and given a general wormer. Other medical needs will also have been taken care of, such as dentals and treating ear infections. 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 $100 (up to $260 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 More important information: ***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 $100 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 May 31, 2026, 3:54 pm
