Story
Know anyone who is looking for a belly rub lovin' best friend? Layla is ready for her forever home! Layla came to MWBCR as a stray from rural Iowa. She is a high energy freight train on four legs, but is totally content to be a couch potato, as long as she gets enough exercise throughout the day. Her foster mom currently ensures she gets two or three 30-minute exercise breaks per day - her very favorite workout is chasing the spray from a garden hose! Still a bit shy around new people, Layla does make fast friends after a short visit and some high-value treats. She loves belly rubs and booty scritches and will smooch her foster mom repeatedly as a thank you. She is a big snuggler, but often on her own terms. When she's not lounging on the sofa, she does have a very strong herding drive (hence her love of the garden hose spray). She runs circles around other dogs and people and will sometimes muzzle punch your leg to get you to do something… especially to throw a ball. She does sometimes do the typical herding "nip," but has never bitten. Layla is house-trained but may have an occasional (rare) accident, which is understandable for a dog that may have lived exclusively outside before being rescued. While she definitely prefers to be out and with her people for most of the day, she does settle nicely into her crate and will sleep 7-8 hours through the night in it. She would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time. She also does great in a hard-sided crate for car travel after she's had a good game of fetch or chasing the hose. One of Layla's biggest victories in her foster home has been her progress with the vet. When she first came into rescue, she was terrified and aggressive at the clinic, and she could not be seen without heavy sedation. Her foster mom has been taking her in for "happy visits" once a week for many months and she now happily trots in to accept snacks and praise from the staff. This has shown us that with a little work, she can definitely overcome fear of new places. Prior border collie or working/herding experience is required to adopt Layla, as this special girl definitely needs a home with a job, a solid understanding of the breed, and lots of patience. A fenced yard is preferred, but a family who makes the commitment to visiting a private park or other secure space for playtime may be considered. As a note, we very much know she will not be a good fit for a family with other smaller pets or young children. After proper introductions, she would probably do fine with a larger dog that can tolerate her herding tendencies. Like any new rescue, Layla would benefit greatly from time with a behavioral trainer, especially to work on her leash skills. She's a very strong girl who is reactive to moving vehicles, people, and animals. Layla has made incredible strides in her foster home and we know she will thrive with a forever family dedicated to helping her be her best self. ​ Location & Contact Location: Southeast Wisconsin ​ Contact: team@midwestbordercollierescue.org Location & Contact Visit our site for more info https://www.mwbcr.org/alldogs Location: Southeast Wisconsin Contact: team@midwestbordercollierescue.org

Story
Laika is 36 lbs and 3-4 years old. This sweet girl loves chasing and often retrieving balls in the house and outdoors. She loves to sniff around off-leash in a fenced back yard. Turn on your garden sprinkler and she will be entertained and exercised. Laika initiates belly runs and gives kisses to her foster mom as a thank you. Laika is more dominant than Layla and has a strong herding drive, so we recommend a home with no children, cats or small critters. She's a little nervous meeting new people and dogs, which we are working on. Laika is spayed and fully vaccinated. She will need a fenced yard and an experienced handler with a strong understanding of the breed and a willingness to provide lots of exercise and tennis balls.

Story
Meet MO!! This gentle soul is an owner surrender. Family lost their farm. The dogs did come into the home, All of them are housebroken and crate trained. Mo is between 4 & 6 yrs old, Owner said 4 yrs old, vet says 6 yrs old but when they came in they were in poor shape. He is about 50 lbs. Mo would definitely benefit from another dog in the house. He enjoys playing with the other dogs and he is social with them. He is a perfect gentleman in the car. He walks on the leash but sometimes he gets afraid of things around him. I think he would be fine with older or calmer children. He likes everybody. It just takes time for him to warm up to them. He is good with the cat too. He is very comfortable once he settled into our home. Mo is going to the groomer tomorrow. He is a handsome boy! He is located in Lake Bluff IL. He came in heart worm + but he is completely done with the three month treatment, doing great and ready to go. He is completely vetted and neutered. Microchipped and on preventative. His adoption fee is $500. If you would like to meet or adopt MO please go to tinypawssmalldogrescue.org and fill out an adoption application. If you have any questions please text or call 262-496-3552 or email Tntranch.wojo11@gmail.com.

Story
About Me: Name: Nubbins, Newt, Niblet Breed (or best guess): Border Collie/Farm Dog type Approximate Age: 4-5 months Gender: Male Approximate Weight: around 20 lb (10/1/24) Adoption Fee: $500 each Requirements: Loving and patient family Why In Rescue: Owner/farm breeder surrender Profile:  These three brothers were surrendered by an Amish farmer when they couldn't find homes for them after their farm dog had a litter of pups.  They were shy a first but are becoming more social all the time.  They have never lived in a home, they came from the farm to the shelter, so will need time and patience as they learn about housetraining, walking on a leash, and all the other things all pups need to learn.  All the adult dogs on the farm were sweet and social and these babies are ready to break out of the shelter to show how great they are too!  They have been neutered, microchipped, started on their Distemper/Parvo vaccines, Rabies vaccinated, and started on dewormer as well as heartworm/flea/tick preventative.  Apply for them now and come pick your favorite! 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. 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 $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  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 $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 November 8, 2024, 2:50 pm

Story
Meet Lucy, a lovely 30 lb Blue Heeler mix. If you`re looking for a dog that loves to snuggle, play, and just be near her people, look no further! Lucy has lived in a home with a fenced in yard as well as a home where she needed to potty on leashed walks. She is easily distracted, so she needs a consistent location and reminders to go potty before fun things happen in the beginning (first 3-5 days). She has not given cues that she wants to go out yet, but has done very well with a routine. She is now starting to go potty with less rigor as she has become familiar with our neighborhood and walking route (we start with the potty spot but then she goes again at the end of the walk without being asked to.)Lucy REALLY loves her people and wants to be near them whenever she can - she is a great couch snuggler! She likes to meet new people, but if they are going to enter the house then introductions should be tried outside first or with her behind a gate as she has displayed the heeler/terrier tendency to guard her people from unfamiliar intruders by growling. She does accept new people into the house and seeks pets after a few minutes. This may improve with time and confidence as she has only been in her current environment for a week.She lived with 14 other small dogs at one point and as an only dog currently. As a young adult heeler she can become overstimulated so a single, well matched dog sibling or as an only dog would be best. She has reacted positively to adult dogs her size or smaller (mostly female) as well as been very forgiving with puppies. ABSOLUTELY NO CATS as she has a very high prey drive - if it runs she will chase it.Lucy has not lived with kids but has interacted with them in public. She has been cuddly and affectionate with respectful children who did not `come in hot` straight to her face but allowed her to come to them. She has given a corrective air bite when charged by a running child, so her space and safety will need to be protected by her humans (like with any dog).She currently sleeps in a crate but is not fond of it. She has made her desires known that she would really prefer to steal your bed, but with consistent training a happy medium should be possible where she sleeps on a dog bed outside of the crate. She has been left alone in the crate for short amounts of time, and each time has started with 10-15 minutes of drama before she settles down. We have successfully left her alone outside of
