Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bujeg is a sweet dog with a lot of energy. He has been trained, neutered, and is up to date on his shots. He is generally good with everyone but he does have a bit of terrirtorialness with food and toys, which is why he is marked as not good with kids. If toys and food are kept away he is very sweet with and curious about or 3yo daughter and our infant son. As our daughter gets older, she will want to play with him more and the territorialness makes us uncomfortable.

Story
Hello Biggie Paws friends! Please meet Lobo! Lobo means wolf in Spanish. Unlike the wolf …this Lobo always makes his adorable presence known! He seems to think he is bigger than he actually is. 🤭 Lobo has personality! Look how dapper he is in his bow tie! He has such a sweet nature despite the cruelty of a prior owner cutting his ears. 😞 Lobo is approximately 3 months old and 20 pounds. We believe he may be a mix of Catahoula Leopard.He loves people …especially respectful kids. A few of his favorite activities are socializing at youth baseball games, exploring and playing with other dogs. He enjoys having other dogs around …but still knows how to have fun on his own. He may be ok with cats too …he just hasn’t had exposure. Lobo also likes his squeaky soft toys, rope toys and nylabone.As a puppy, he is still learning …but he is super smart and catches on to things very quick. He knows “sit”, “gentle” and is familiar with “no”. He also recently learned how to go up and down stairs!Lobo is mostly potty trained. He is also working on leash and crate training. He is initially guarded with other dogs on leash but plays nicely once introduced. He has good recall but since he likes to explore, a fenced in yard might be best. He’s the perfect mixture of fun and leisure and will be happy to join you as your cuddle puppy at night. He loves to snuggle when the time is right. Oh and let’s not forget a good ‘ol tummy rub!He’s currently being fostered in Fort Atkinson, WI. His adoption fee is $500 plus a $100 deposit. The $100 deposit will be refunded once proof of timely neuter is given to Biggie Paws.Please apply to adopt Lobo at: https://biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 Friends ! My name is Charlie. I am approximately 2 years old, weigh about 59 pounds and I look like an Irish Wolfhound Mix. 🐕I’m staying in Woodstock, IL while I search 🔎 for my Fur-Ever home. 🏡 A place where the humans will ALWAYS love me, 🥹 make me feel wanted and give me lots of attention !! I LOVE ❤️ attention ! 🥰I am good with other Dogs. 🐕 I LOVE ❤️ younger humans …although because of my size (whatever that means ??) it might be best if the younger humans are NOT 🚫 too little. I have been accused of not realizing just how big I am. 🙄 I haven’t been around Cats, 🐈 so I’m not sure how I would do with them ? 🤔I am good about doing my business outside 🚽💩 …as long as I am kept on a schedule. I also do very well walking on a leash. 🦮 When outside, it would probably be best if my new home has a fenced in yard so I’m not tempted to wander. When it’s time to settle in for the night, 🥱 I sleep like a good boy in a crate. 😴If you think we could be a Fur-Ever Family, ❤️ please apply to adopt me using the link below. I AM up to date on all my age appropriate shots, neutered and microchipped ! The fee for my adoption is $450. http://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Hi there Biggie Paws family, my name is Chubs! I’m here in Wisconsin with my siblings looking for my forever family - maybe it could be you!? Let me tell you a little bit about myself so you can see if we’ll be a good match. I can’t wait to start having fun with my family. I am a sweet boy that looks like a Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix, I’m about 10 weeks old - so I haven’t learned much of the puppy basics yet …we can work on that together! I’m around 9 pounds, so I’m the perfect size for your lap! I’m working on pad training until the weather is a little more cooperative anyway! I would also like to learn how to walk on a leash someday and maybe go in one of those crate things (right now, I sleep in a playpen with my siblings). I may be a little timid at first but I soon warm up and you’ll see my goofy, spunky personality come out! I am energetic, very curious and get along great with other dogs. If you think I would be a good fit for your family and you’re interested in being considered to adopt me, please fill out an adoption application under the link below!I’m microchipped, neutered and up to date on all my age appropriate shots. I am currently being fostered in Kenosha, WI. My adoption fee is $500 - I can’t wait to meet you! http://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Hi there Biggie Paws family! My name is Chugs and I am currently living in Kenosha, WI while I wait to find my forever family! I am a sweet girl …about 10 weeks old, around 8 pounds and I look like a chihuahua/dachshund mix. Just like my siblings, I can be a little shy at first …but once I warm up, I am goofy, energetic, curious and SO affectionate! One of my most favorite places to be is near my humans! I’ll give them kisses and stay close.Since I am still young, I am working on some puppy basics like always going to the bathroom outside - I’m doing great so far with pad training. I haven’t learned how to walk on a leash yet and I have been in a play pen with my siblings …not in a crate. I am available for adoption for a fee of $500. If you are interested in being considered to adopt me, please fill out an adoption application under the link below. I am microchipped, spayed and up to date on all my age appropriate shots.http://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 friends! My name is Tater Tot and I’m looking for my Fur-Ever family! I am about 14 months old, and a petite girl at only 34 pounds …I’m the right size for EVERY adventure. I look like the perfect mix of the best breeds.🥇I love everyone and everyone loves me back. 🥰 I am playful & outgoing, I can relax & snuggle …and I love to give and get pets and hugs from anyone! My foster mom says I'm well rounded. ☺️It's SO fun to go on walks 🦮 and meet people and other doggy neighbors. Do you know what? The kids across the street can’t get enough of me! 💕 EVERYONE is welcome in my happy 😁 world and I am hoping to share my love in theirs.Learning doggy commands is fun! I’m especially good at “sit”. I'm proud to say I have been house trained (as mom puts it) for some time now. I am also good at going "potty" on command when we go on walks. 👍🏼Right now I live with 2 senior cats 🐈 who’ve never had an opportunity to be pals with a fun little girl like me 🤭 …so I'm doing my best to be quiet 🤫 and patient with them. I really want to be their bud. I sleep 😴 comfortably in my crate at night …being careful not to make a peep so maybe the cats will come out to visit me. 😊If you think we could be a Fur-Ever Family, please fill out an adoption application under the link below. I am up to date on my age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and spayed. My adoption fee is $450. I am in Kansasville, WI waiting. 🥹http://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550
