Chihuahua puppies and dogs in Wisconsin

About Me: Name: Bijou and Dash Breed (or best guess): Chi/Jack Russel and Bichon/Chi Approximate Age: 13 yr and 10 yr Gender: Female and Male Approximate Weight: 14 lb and 16 lb Adoption Fee: $600 for both dogs adopted together Requirements: Patient family willing to adopt a bonded pair Why In Rescue: Owner went into a nursing home Profile:   Bijou and Dash came in as a bonded pair when their owner went into a nursing home.  They do take some time to warm up to new people but do well together.  They were housetrained in their home, but may need a little retraining in a new home after being in the shelter.  These dogs deserve a home to live out their senior years, and we are hoping to be able to keep them together.  Bijou is Dash's mother, so they have been together for many years.  They have been updated on vet care including dentals, so now they just need a home. 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 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 October 15, 2026, 3:00 pm

Meet Hashtag – The Laid-Back Lovebug Who Matches Your Energy! Hashtag might have one of the most memorable names in rescue, but his personality is what will really win you over! This sweet boy is affectionate, gentle, confident, social, and wonderfully easygoing. He loves people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, coexists with cats, and seems to have a natural ability to make himself comfortable wherever his favorite humans happen to be. Hashtag isn't looking for a life filled with nonstop excitement. He's perfectly happy enjoying a leisurely walk, meeting a few friends, and then heading home for some serious relaxation. His foster describes him in three words: "Laid-back. Snuggly. Matches energy." And that last one might be our favorite thing about him. Hashtag is the kind of dog who seems perfectly content going along with whatever his people are doing. Want to go for a walk? He's in. Feel like spending a quiet afternoon at home? Even better. Need someone to keep you company while you relax? Hashtag has officially volunteered for the position. Hashtag Loves: - Walks - Sniffing and exploring - Cuddling - Napping - Meeting new people - Training sessions - Treat puzzles and enrichment - Quiet relaxation - Spending time with his humans - Getting attention - Being included in everyday life - Making friends Hashtag's Favorite Thing: Simply being with his people. Hashtag is a people-oriented boy who genuinely enjoys human companionship. He's affectionate and cuddly without needing constant excitement or activity. He's perfectly happy hanging out nearby, soaking up attention, and enjoying the comfort of being part of the family. And because he's such an easygoing guy, he doesn't need every day to be an adventure. Sometimes the best day is a quiet walk, a little sniffing, and a comfortable place to nap. Hashtag understands the importance of a good work-life balance. Especially the relaxing part. A Social Butterfly with a Calm Personality One of Hashtag's nicest qualities is how comfortable he is around others. He's immediately friendly when meeting new people and approaches them with a happy but polite attitude. He doesn't need a long introduction before deciding someone is worth getting to know. His foster says: "Hashtag is good with every person, dog, and cat he meets." That's a pretty impressive quality! He's confident and social, but he isn't overly demanding. He simply enjoys being around others and seems happy to make friends wherever he goes. Low Energy, High Cuddle Potential Hashtag is a low-energy dog who appreciates a relaxed lifestyle. He enjoys walks and exploring, but he doesn't need constant physical activity to be content. He's also happy with mental enrichment, such as treat puzzles and training sessions. For Hashtag, a great day might include a quiet neighborhood walk, some time relaxing at home, and plenty of affection from his favorite people. He could be a wonderful companion for someone who wants a dog to enjoy everyday life with rather than a dog who needs hours of strenuous exercise. And while he enjoys quieter activities, he's also comfortable matching the energy of the people around him. He's happy to participate when something is happening and equally happy to settle when it's time to relax. Training & Manners Hashtag is already: - House trained - Crate trained Those are two wonderful foundations for a dog joining a new family. He's still learning his basic commands, and his leash skills need continued practice. Fortunately, Hashtag enjoys training sessions and enrichment activities, which can help make learning a fun part of his daily routine. His foster reports no major behavioral concerns. He's a polite, easygoing boy who will benefit from continued consistency and positive reinforcement as he settles into his forever home. Dogs, Cats & Kids Dogs: Hashtag loves other dogs! He's social and comfortable around canine companions, making him a potentially wonderful addition to a home with another compatible dog. Cats: Hashtag coexists well with cats. Children: Hashtag is good with kids and could make a wonderful family companion. His gentle, affectionate, easygoing personality makes him an appealing match for many different households. A Few Things to Know: - Low energy - House trained - Crate trained - Gentle - Very affectionate - Confident - Social - People-oriented - Easygoing - Cuddly - Loves attention - Professional couch potato - Immediately friendly with new people - Happy but polite - Loves other dogs - Coexists well with cats - Good with children - Enjoys quiet walks - Loves sniffing and exploring - Enjoys training and enrichment - Matches the energy of his people - Leash skills need practice - Still learning basic commands - No major behavioral concerns noted Great Activities for Hashtag: - Quiet neighborhood walks - Sniffing and exploring - Relaxing at home - Coffee shop or patio visits - Running errands with his people - One-on-one bonding time - Treat puzzles - Indoor enrichment - Short training sessions - Meeting new people - Spending time with other friendly dogs - Cuddling - Napping - Enjoying a peaceful afternoon with his family Best Match: - First-time dog owners - Family-friendly homes - Families with children - Homes with another friendly dog - Homes with cats - Someone looking for a lower-energy companion - A family that appreciates a gentle, easygoing dog - Someone who enjoys leisurely walks - A home where he can be included in everyday activities - Someone willing to continue basic training and leash work - A family looking for a dog who enjoys both companionship and quiet relaxation - Anyone who wants a loyal little sidekick without the need for constant activity Three Words That Describe Hashtag Best: ❤️ Laid-Back ❤️ Snuggly ❤️ Matches Your Energy Foster Location: Sparta, WI Meet & Greet Availability: Hashtag's foster is happy to meet approved adopters within approximately one hour of Sparta, WI. Hashtag was found as a stray in Texas before making his way into rescue. We don't know everything about his life before that, but we do know the dog he's showing us he is today. He's gentle. He's affectionate. He's house trained. He's crate trained. He loves people. He loves other dogs. He does well with cats. And he seems perfectly content simply being part of a family. Hashtag doesn't need a packed schedule or a constant stream of excitement to be happy. Give him a comfortable home, some nice walks, a little enrichment, and people who enjoy having him around. He'll happily take care of the cuddling. There's something really special about a dog who doesn't need life to be complicated. A dog who can enjoy the little things. A dog who seems just as happy relaxing beside you as he is heading out for a little adventure. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate, laid-back companion who can match your energy and make everyday life a little sweeter, Hashtag may be exactly the boy you've been waiting for.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Alexis! Alexis: Ew, David! She's Adorable! "I'm sorry, did you just say I'm not the center of attention?" — Alexis, probably. Hi, babes! It's Alexis! I'm a 4-month-old, 12-pound Chihuahua x Terrier mix, and honestly, I'm not trying to brag, but I have a face that could launch a thousand group chats. Like, I didn't ask to be this cute. I just woke up like this. I'm currently accepting applications for a forever family, and I have to say, the opportunity to be my human is pretty exclusive. I'm looking for someone who wants to watch me grow up, show me the world, and tell me I'm pretty approximately 47 times a day. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so. I adore my foster siblings and get along great with other dogs because, obviously, I'm a people person. Well, a dog person. A little bit of both. I'm also doing great in my crate, so I'm basically an overachiever. Some puppies are out here eating shoes and ruining lives, and I'm building my résumé. I'm still a puppy, which means I'm learning all the important things, like how to be a well-mannered little lady, how to explore the world, and how to convince my family that bedtime is actually cuddle time. I'd make a fabulous addition to just about any loving home, and my petite size could make me a great apartment companion, too. So, if you're looking for a tiny bestie with a big personality, a face that belongs on a billboard, and enough charm to make you forget you ever had personal space, I'm your girl. Honestly, I'm not sure how you could say no. But, like, that's your journey. Love that journey for us.

Hello, my name is Max! I'm a 2-year-old male Chihuahua mix! I am current on my vaccines, neutered, and soon to be microchipped and heartworm tested. 3 words that describe me: Shy, Sweet, Cuddly Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I can be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you I'll be your best friend!

Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 4/10 Housetraining Status: I am good at keeping my kennel clean, however it may take some time for me to adjust to the schedule in my new home.

My favorite activities are: Sitting in a soft spot cuddling with my favorite human. Things I need work on are: Confidence building and basic commands. Any special needs: N/A Doggy day out notes: N/A Daycare Status: N/A My adoption fee is: $300 Training Requirement if applicable: N/A *If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Meet Libby! ❤️ Libby is ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the time, patience, and love she needs to feel safe. Rescued from a property in Missouri, Libby can be nervous in new situations and will need a gentle, understanding home where she can settle in at her own pace. Once her spunky personality starts to shine, Libby loves to play with toys and show off her fun side! A confident canine companion may be just the friend she needs to help her navigate this big new world. With slow introductions, she may also do well with cats and children who understand how to respect her space. Libby may need a little extra time to come out of her shell, but with a family willing to help her build confidence, she has so much potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. Sometimes, the best things in life just take a little patience! ❤️ Libby is heartworm positive and is available for foster-to-adopt with families who live within 30 minutes of our shelter while she undergoes treatment. She will need to remain on crate rest during treatment, so her family will need to be prepared to help her through this important part of her journey. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.
