Story
About Me: Name: Marvin Breed (or best guess): Dachshund (or mix) Approximate Age: 2 years Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 9 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Loving family Why In Rescue: Texas transfer Profile:  We are learning more about the cute Millie and Marvin after they came to us from an over crowded facility in Texas.  They are happy, playful, and social dogs who are looking for homes of their own.  Millie and Marvin have lived together so if you are looking for a pair, they can be adopted together.  If interested in meeting one of these adorable pups/dogs, please fill out the preadoption application on our website www.bichonrescues.com. 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 4, 2026, 5:40 pm

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs!  To sponsor my trip to WI, go to  www.tailwaggers911.com  for more info!   ***I am able to go home to my forever family right from transport!! You get a 5 day Foster-to-Adopt trial with me in your home. Please note that Foster-to-Adopt trials are offered at the rescue's discretion and may be limited or declined in cases of repeated returns or misuse of the program.***   Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on October 23rd and arrive on October 24th, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!!   Updated: 9/23/26 Dog Name: Willy Sex: Male Estimated Breed: Long Haired Dachshund Mix Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: 10-12 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered  Adoption Fee: $650 Description:  Willy was saved out of a small rural shelter in Texas! He is a lucky little guy and he knows it… he just keeps smiling! This sweet boy is amazing, he’s loving and playful and gets along well with other pups. He looks like he belongs in a children’s book! He is ready to nap on the couch and have a yard of his own to run and play. He is wishing for a family of his own!We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. October 7, 2026, 2:39 am

Story
So my name is Betty! I am a beautiful long hair 6 year old Dachshund. My coat is rich redish brown with tan markings. I have big soulful eyes and short little legs. My favorite thing is to snuggle on a lap. I recently arrived in foster care with Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue. I have already showed what a sweetheart I am. Betty is not fully housetrained, but she is catching on quick. She is also learning what that leash thing is and how it works. Betty gets along with the other dogs in the foster home and even the cats. My foster mom, Maggie thinks a home with people teenage and up would be best. If you are interesting in adopting Betty please put an application in at tinypawssmalldogrescue.org.

Story
Loopy: Your 15-Pound Personal AssistantMeet Loopy, a 10-year-old, 15-pound Dachshund who has never met a stranger, never turned down a snack, and firmly believes that wherever you are is exactly where he should be.Bathroom? He’s coming. Kitchen? Obviously. Couch? He has already selected his seat. Bed? Under the covers, please. Farmers market? Target? Road trip? Probably the vet? Loopy would like to submit his résumé for the position of Your Tiny Sidekick.And honestly, he’s overqualified.Loopy is what happens when you combine a Walmart greeter, a professional snuggler, a sunbathing enthusiast, a snack critic, and a tiny escape artist into one adorable little Dachshund.He LOVES people. Men, women, older kids, you name it. Loopy’s basic philosophy is: “You are a person. Therefore, I love you.”He is also wonderful with other small dogs and has done just fine meeting medium-sized dogs. He could happily live with canine siblings or be your one-and-only. His real requirement is simply that he gets plenty of human companionship because Loopy is very much a Velcro Dachshund.He wants to sit beside you. He wants to follow you around the house. He wants to nap next to you. He wants to be involved in whatever you're doing. And if there is a blanket available? Please prepare to share.His ultimate dream is to sleep in the big bed, underneath the covers, glued to his person. If you don't allow dogs in bed, he will graciously accept his soft crate in the bedroom. But he would like it noted that this is his second choice. His first choice is YOU. Under the covers. Forever.Loopy also has a bit of a rebellious streak. He initially did beautifully in his crate. Then one day he apparently looked around and thought, “You know what? I don't think I work here anymore.” And proceeded to learn how to unlock his crate from the inside.Yes. He can break out of jail.He is now gated in the kitchen, where he cannot use his tiny criminal mastermind skills to liberate himself. He does wonderfully in a soft crate at night. He isn't a troublemaker, exactly. He's just... resourceful.Loopy is also incontinent, so he wears a stylish pair of man pants and does very well with them. Keeping him on a bathroom schedule helps, and he can be stimulated if needed. It's a manageable part of his routine, and frankly, he wears his pants with more dignity than most humans.Health-wise, Loopy does have some special needs. He has Cushing's disease, a grade-one heart murmur, alopecia, and a history of a back injury. His murmur does not currently affect his daily life, and despite his previous back injury, this little guy still gets around just fine. He loves running around the yard and doesn't act like someone who has any intention of letting his past slow him down.He takes Vetoryl once daily for his Cushing's, which runs approximately $100 per month. He also has a dental scheduled for the end of October.His coat is wonderfully low-shed—about a 1.5 out of 10—although his alopecia means he will absolutely need a sweater when Wisconsin decides to become Wisconsin. Loopy has already requested burgundy plaid for fall. Obviously.His favorite season is summer because he LOVES lying in the sunshine. He will bask until he is perfectly toasty, then flip over and toast the other side. He is basically a tiny Dachshund rotisserie chicken. And when he's not sunbathing, he's busy serving as an official snack tester. Liver treats? Yes. Collagen chews? Absolutely. Bully sticks? Obviously. New snack flavor you've never tried before? Hand it over. Loopy needs to conduct research.Despite his moderate activity level, Loopy isn't looking for a family who wants to hike 14 miles before breakfast. He'd happily go for walks, stroll around a farmers market, ride in a stroller, hang out in the yard, or accompany you on whatever little adventures you have planned. He just wants to be included.He's a happy-go-lucky little guy who rarely barks, has no food or toy guarding issues, isn't fearful, and generally seems to have decided that life is pretty darn wonderful.His theme song? “Hakuna Matata.” Because nothing's bothering this kid.Except perhaps being excluded from the big bed. And possibly running out of snacks.Loopy's greatest feature, though, isn't his adorable face, his sweet eyes, his ridiculous little Dachshund body, or even his impressive prison-breaking abilities. It's the way he looks at you. That sweet, smiling little face has a way of making you think, “Oh no. I'm in love with this dog.” And you are. You absolutely are.Loopy came to rescue after a Good Samaritan turned him in at a shelter in Georgia. Somewhere along the way, this little guy found his way to Wisconsin, and now he's looking for the person who will realize that 15 pounds of Loopy is an absolutely enormous amount of love.He doesn't need a perfect life. He needs a person who will put a sweater on him when it's cold, help him with his medical routine, keep his man pants stocked, let him sleep as close as humanly possible, and understand that wherever you go... Loopy would like to go too.He'll be your shadow. Your couch buddy. Your bed warmer. Your snack consultant. Your farmers-market companion. Your sunshine enthusiast. Your tiny escape artist. Your professional snuggler. And, if you let him, your best friend.Loopy is ready. He's got his man pants. He's got his burgundy plaid sweater vision board. He's got a serious appetite for snacks. And he's got approximately 15 pounds of pure, happy, Velcro-Dachshund love waiting for his person.Hakuna Matata, indeed.Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $350, ($600for a pair).

Story
Dune is a small to medium mixed breed; mom is a chiweenie; he COULD> weigh 15-30lbs as an adult. He's been dewormed and will be microchipped & given age appropriate vaccines. He's our momma's boy and loves attention. He likes to cuddle but isn't a fan of being picked up. He'd do best with older kids and a dog friendly companion about his size.
