History: Kimmy is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart. She is a pretty petite girl who would thrive in a quiet environment. A Note from the Foster: Meet Kimmy - a little gal with a lot of sass! Kimmy has been in our home since summer 2025 and has made quite a bit of progress, however it is clear that she was under socialized and most likely mistreated in the first half of her life. Undoing past trauma and teaching her how to trust will take a patient and understanding adopter to continue her progress. Kimmy is so funny. She is constantly making noises to communicate with us. She will huff and puff under her breath, make grumble noises or high pitched whining. To me this reminds me of Dory from Finding Nemo when she's doing her "whale call!" Kimmy has her own set of goofy noises. Kimmy lives with 2 resident dogs and 1 other foster dog. When she first arrived to our home she would not leave the other foster dog's side and hide in her kennel. Those two were bonded by their trauma and did not want to be separated. Kimmy relied on this other dog for safety and comfort. Over time she began to branch out and become part of the "pack" with our 2 resident dogs. She desperately wants to be part of the crew and feel accepted. We just see the wheels turning as she's watching our resident dogs do something. For example - our resident dogs sit at our feet while we are eating. Kimmy would watch from her kennel or the opposite side of the room. She did this for months. Eventually day by day she would watch from one inch closer, then one inch closer. Now she sits at our feet with the other pups! Another example is toys! Day after day I watched her watch our resident dogs stick their heads into the toy bin and chew on bones. She has just started to stick her head into the toy bin and chew on bones also! Careful about watching her play with a toy, though. She gets nervous if she's "caught" playing with a toy and will immediately stop. She just needs more time to learn this is a good behavior, not a bad one! Kimmy is skittish and does not seek human touch yet. She is a very curious gal and will follow us from room to room. However, petting her has to be her idea and she's not quite there yet. She will happily sit on the couch next to you but don't you dare move a muscle! Movement and loud noises are scary and will have her retreating off the couch (quickly!) and back to her safe space. We joke that she has two speeds - 0 and 100! She loves laying on the bed. She will sprint from her kennel in the morning to claim her spot on the bed! Kimmy has taken to foster dad more than foster mom. She happily lays on the bed next to him or at his feet. Foster dad is slowly working up to having Kimmy take a treat directly from his hand. We joke that Kimmy is a bit "boy crazy" because she also follows our male resident dog around as if he's the coolest dog in the whole world. She even lifts her leg to relieve herself like a boy! The perfect home for Kimmy must have: -Patience and understanding of shy/skittish dogs -Be quiet, predictable and have a routine to show her new rooms and activities are safe -A fenced in yard (she hears a door open from a mile away and will be at the door in a second. Safety is key) -Another small dog or two in the home. Your dog will be the best teacher for Kimmy and make an imprint better and faster than a human would! She is on two anxiety medications that would need to be continued with the guidance of your vet. They're rather inexpensive. Kimmy will teach you patience, bravery, and best of all how to give a good side eye! Is she your perfect match?

About Me: Name: Rocky Rolo Breed (or best guess): Bichon Mix Approximate Age: 1 1/2 yrs Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 8 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Loving and patient family Why In Rescue:  Texas Transfer Profile:   Rocky Rolo came to us from Texas.  He is a sweet, shy boy waiting for a loving family.  We don't get a history or background on the dogs, so are learning more about him everyday.  He have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated for Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella and Rabies, heartworm and tick tested and started on prevention, had a health exam, and microchipped.  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 February 9, 2026, 7:38 pm

Meet Oreo 🐾 Oreo is a 9-year-old Bichon Frise (born August 8, 2016), under 10 lbs, neutered, healthy, and potty trained. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He sleeps in his kennel at night and goes in on command. He’s very food motivated and will twirl in circles when you tell him to “dance”! Oreo has lots of energy but does not tear up toys or destroy things. He loves belly rubs, affection, and being close to his person. His rabies vaccine is current; he had his puppy shots but no additional boosters. He does need grooming, and is nervous with vets and groomers, he may need meds for grooming. Due to time and financial constraints, I can’t give him the care he deserves. He would do best with an older adult or someone home often who can give him love and attention.

Meet Dottie! Dotte is a 4-year-old Bichon Frise, weighing 12 lbs, with a sweet personality and a fresh start ahead of her. She has a medium energy level—she enjoys activity and playtime but also appreciates downtime once her needs are met. Dottie gets along well with other dogs and cats and does best with school-age children or older. She enjoys companionship and being part of daily life. Dottie came to rescue as a breeder release from a puppy mill, so she is still learning what it means to be a family dog. She is still working on housebreaking and is not leash trained or crate trained, and will need a patient, understanding adopter who can help her continue building confidence and skills. Dottie would thrive in a home that: 1.Has experience or patience with dogs new to home life 2.Can provide consistent routines and gentle training 3.Includes another friendly dog (a plus, but not required) 4.Has school-age children or older 5.Understands that former breeder dogs need time, kindness, and reassurance With the right home, Dottie has all the potential to blossom into a loving and devoted companion. An adoption fee applies. Dottie will be fully vetted, including spay, vaccines, and microchip. Dottie is currently being fostered in Mukwonago, WI. For additional information on Dottie, please contact her foster mom, Kathie, at 262-939-6404. Applications for adoption can be completed on our website at www.tinypawssmalldogrescue.org.

About Me: Name: Betty Barb Breed (or best guess): Bichon Birthdate:  1/23/23 Gender: F Approximate Weight: 18 lb Adoption Fee: $495 ($740 for Betty and Sasha if adopted together) Requirements: Patient Adopter, fenced potty area, another small dog Why In Rescue: puppy mill survivor Profile:   Betty Barb came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use her for breeding. She is an adorable girl who needs some love and patience to learn how great life can be.  She will need a fenced yard or potty area and another dog to help her adjust to her new life as a pet. Betty and Sasha have become fast friends and want to be together all the time.  If you have the love, space, and ability to adopt a pair, they have a reduced fee of $740 adopted together. Dogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often very scared/shy/skittish) and probably never lived in a house.  They will need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like a television are.  They need a patient adopter who will give them the time they need to adjust and to 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 can take a long time to even be comfortable with things like walking through the house and being in the same room as a person.  No matter how far and how fast the breeder dogs progress, they are wonderful dogs and deserve a great home after their life on the puppy farm.  A fence or at least a secure fenced in potty area is highly recommended for the dog's safety, and may be required for some dogs.  Another small dog in the house can also help many former breeders adjust faster to life in a home, and also may be required in some cases.  We do put the needs of the dog's first, so it is nothing personal if we determine a particular dog isn't suitable for your specific home and living situation. If considering adopting a former breeding dog, the following article is good to read to help you understand the special needs these dogs may have.  http://nowisconsinpuppymills.com/mill-survivors.html 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.
