Meet Reed! Hello everyone, my name is Reed! You might think I look a little funny with little to no hair, but would you guess that I don't have a single hairless breed in my DNA, despite being found near a house that had been breeding hairless dogs? Yep, that just means I'm special! As an adult dog that weighs just 27 pounds, I have some very easily treatable skin issues. I just need to have a special bath every 1-2 weeks in the summer when my skin gets a bit sticky and as needed in the winter. Voila! Foster mom says I'm a really good boy, that might be a bit misunderstood by the average person, so she says I need to look for just the right one to be my forever human. You see, I'm pretty fearful of things, loud noises, and fast movements being one of them, so I shouldn't live with kiddos. I'd actually prefer to live with just one person or a very quiet two people. Men can sometimes be scary for me, so I'd prefer humans of the female variety. I get along with quiet dogs who kind of just like lounging around. I'm a good boy and go potty outside. Actually, I enjoy being outside a lot! Good thing I don't mind wearing clothes, because I'll need to wear them in the summer to protect my skin, and in the cooler month to keep me warm! I'm not a super huge fan of crates, but my foster mom has one set up for me as a safe space if people come over or if I just need a little downtime. I enjoy going on walks and do well on a leash. I really really want to do what my humans want me to do, but I tend to be scared to do some things. I'm never trying to be naughty, I just don't know how to talk human to let you know! The only way I know how to say I'm scared of something is to give a grumble. That doesn't make me a bad guy, I'm just doing the only thing I can to communicate. I That's where the special person comes in to play. My human will have to be able to see when I'm uncomfortable and intervene if I get in over my head in certain situations. I take some medicine for my anxiety to help me not be quite so scared, and that has been really helpful! I'm not asking for a lot in life, just to be understood. Do you think you can be my special person? Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.

Meet Bert! Hey, y'all, my name is Bert, and I come to you from the great state of Georgia! Go DAWGS! I'm an adult and everything, but I could still be converted into a Badger fan. I hear their fans are really good boys, just like me. I go potty outside, I get along well with other dogs, and I like people! I'm not sure if I like cats or kids, but my foster mom says she thinks I would do just fine with everyone as long as they promise to me nice to me, especially since I'm not a very big boy, I only weigh about 10 pounds. Also, kiddos need to understand that I can't see them coming, so they might need to talk to me so I know what's going on. I love getting my belly rubbed, even if it is just a small belly. Oh, I also really love me some American cheese slices! I hear that wrapper, and I come running. Oh, who am I kidding, I love all the treats! Another thing that I kind of dig is going for a walk in a doggie stroller. Foster mom recently took me, and I did great. I never even knew they made a stroller for us canines! I enjoy saying hi to new people, and my little tail is so happy and wags so fast. At the end of the day, I will put myself to bed early, in my favorite dog bed, and happily sleep through the night. Now foster mom says it's time for me to find my forever family that will love everything about me and take care of me really good! I'm excited to see who my new people will be, and maybe we can't watch a little football together. Are you ready for game day with a new little belly to rub?

Meet Bobo! Hello, my name is Bobo! I'm a sweet, senior, southern gentleman coming from TN. I'm just a little guy, weighing 12 pounds, which is just the perfect size for cuddling with my humans! I had a home of my very own, but once I got fleas, they gave me up. Now that those itchy buggers are all gone, I'm ready to find my new humans who will love me always! I get along well with other kind doggos, and actually like to play with others, though sometimes I can be a bit pushy in my play style. Oh, and I love all humans. I'm a good boy and go potty outside, but foster mom put a belly band on me when I first got to her house until I learned the routine there, and I learned pretty fast! I enjoy going on walks with my people and do really well on a leash, but I like to get all the sniffies in, so I might do a little ziggy zag while we're walking along. Inside, my favorite activity is sitting on a chair by a window watching the world go by or taking daytime naps in my dog bed. In the evenings, I'll happily sit by you on the couch and snuggle while we watch a few episodes of your favorite shows until it's time to go to bed. I'd love to be able to sleep in the big bed with you at night so you can feel all the love I have to give you! Foster mom says I'm a pretty great little guy, and I hope I can show you how amazing I am soon! *Bobo is being fostered in Janesville, WI.

  Meet Jelly, Jelly Belly, Jelly Roll, Jell Bell…  She’ll come to just about anything if you talk nice to her!    This 20 pound Chihuahua/Dachshund (Chiweenie) mix is so easy going! She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids (even little kids)! Don’t let her eyes confuse you. She always looks worried but she’s not! It’s just her face!!     Jelly came to us because she was full of bladder stones and broken teeth.  Both of these issues have been resolved and she’s ready for her forever home! She will need to be on a high quality freeze dried food or prescription food to make sure those nasty stones never come back!    Jelly will go outside to potty or use potty pads if you’re not home. She has been crated in the past, but it does make her anxious and she’ll bark. Honestly, there’s been no need to crate her in her foster home! She loves to go for walks and walks well on a leash. But she’s also perfectly content to lay on the couch and snooze and cuddle with you. At night she LOVES sleeping in bed with you and is happiest curled up next to you under the blankets. She’s simply a wonderful dog! Jelly also has a heart murmur but at this time there are no clinical symptoms and she’s not on any heart medication.     Approximate DOB: 2014 Foster Home Location: Whitewater      If you are interested in adopting one of our wonderful dogs, you can apply on our website: https://forms.gle/MGakwmFh92UiK9iM6     Please allow several days for us to process your application. We are a small, all-volunteer group and we are doing our best to work quickly! After the application is processed we will make arrangements for you to meet the dog that interest you. All of our dogs are raised in our homes and live with us until they are adopted. They live with us as part of our families so we know them very well and we can help you find your perfect dog!       Our adoption fees:    Adults (up to 7 years): $275   Seniors (8 years and up): $200     All dogs are spayed or neutered, dewormed, vaccinated for rabies, bordatella and distemper, tested for heartworm and microchipped.April 23, 2024, 10:14 am

Meet Xena! Xena here! I am totally a princess, but I’m not quite a warrior. Foster mom says I’m more like a little peanut. I’m a wee 7 pounds! In my foster home, I live with two kids, two adults and lots of pups. I do just fine with all this activity, but I’d also love to be an only (spoiled) pup, too. I don't have a problem telling a dog if they are in my space, though. My favorite time of the day is when foster mom finally sits down for the day, and we snuggle. I always beg to come up on the couch, but since I’m too little to jump up on my own, I need a little help. I haven’t met a cat, but I’d probably be ok with them since most cats are bigger than me. I like kids, especially ones who pet me. I’m perfectly potty trained and on nice days, I like toodle around the yard a bit too after doing my business. I also like to snuggle in my crate, and I’ve got a real nice set up in there - soft bed plus a warm blanket. I don’t enjoy going for long walks - a block or two is enough for me. However, I’d be glad to go longer if you carry me or put me in a stroller. Being a senior now, I have a few health issues I should mention. I have floating patellas (kneecaps) and a bit of a heart murmur. Apparently, these are common for smaller dogs. I take Vetmedin for my heart, but because I’m so small, I only take ¼ of a pill twice a day, and a bottle lasts me a few months. I also don’t have the best vision. I have a cataract in one eye (foster mom says “it gives me character”). But I get around just fine, and I have the cutest head tilt when I’m looking at you. If you have room on your lap, I’d love for us to meet so you can take me home with you! *Xena is being fostered in Madison, WI.

About Me: Name: Domino Breed (or best guess): Chihuahua mix Approximate Age: 6 yr Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 12 lb Adoption Fee: Reduced Fee $300 Requirements: Patient Adopter Why In Rescue: Owner passed away Profile: Domino has been with Bichon and Little Buddies for over 9 months as we worked with him to have him become comfortable with humans other than his owner.  When he was surrendered, we were told he is paranoid - and that does fit him.  He gets worried when he has a tag on his collar or when he is wearing a sweater.  He has stranger danger, so isn't going to want to be in a household where people are coming and going a lot or where he is expected to go visiting.  While he has some issues, he is a funny and loving guy to the people he has bonded with.  He will sit excitedly, waiting for one of his chosen ones to kneel down and open his kennel door so he can leap out and give a hug.  It is now time for him to venture out and find a family of his own.  While he lived with other dogs in his previous home, at the shelter there are a number of dogs he doesn't get along with - primarily males, so he may do best as an only dog or a female dog with a slow introduction.  Domino went for a short home visit with a volunteer to see how he would be in a home.  He had issues with other dogs in the house when the foster mom had food.  We are hoping for an only dog home for him to lessen the chance for issues if he decided to try to guard his person or his food.  He did warm up to visitors with some time, but will likely always need a slow introduction.   If you are looking to adopt a dog that really needs you, Domino may be that guy.  He is an athletic little guy who will climb up to the top of his kennel so he can look out and see what is going on.  If you can offer Domino a patient and loving home, please fill out the pre-adoption application and we can discuss more things about him. 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. 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 $200 - $550 depending on the age of the dog, 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 April 24, 2024, 5:22 pm
