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 trial with me in your home. Put in your application soon!*** 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 June 5th and arrive on June 6th, 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: 5/12/26 Dog Name: Millie Sex: Female Estimated Breed: Jack Russell Mix Approximate Age: 1-2 years Approximate Weight: 12 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Spayed Description: Millie was found alone in a field exposed to the elements and to predators. She was luckily picked up by animal control but then faced euthanasia as she was scared in the shelter and the city was out of room! Our Texas rescue partners stepped in to ensure she will get a second chance! Millie opened up and is so sweet and playful! Can be shy at first but once she warms up, she’s just a doll! She does well with other dogs and prefers kids over the age of 13 who will respect her space and let her slowly warm up to them. This girl deserves a family who will love her and keep her safe! She has a precious scruffy coat and such a cute little personality!  Adoption Fee: $550We 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. May 13, 2026, 11:50 pm

Story
About Me: Name: Poncho Breed (or best guess): Jack Russell Terrier Mix Approximate Age:  6 yr Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 15 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Loving Family Why In Rescue: Owner Surrender Profile:   Poncho was very loved by his owner but she is no longer able to care for him so he is searching for a new home.  Poncho is almost 7 years old and is missing his family.  He loves attention and to go for walks.  He has been friendly to everyone he meets.    He has been keeping his kennel clean at the shelter.  If interested in happy little Poncho please fill out the pre-adoption application. 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 $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 May 13, 2026, 1:41 pm

Story
Crane is finding himself in need of a new home after being adopted from us 4 years ago. His family can no longer meet his needs, and now he’s hoping for a fresh start — either in a foster home or with a forever family who understands him. At 4 years old, this 40 lb Jack Russell mix is the perfect blend of chill companion and adventure buddy. Most days, Crane is happy to lounge nearby and keep you company… but he still enjoys getting out for a daily walk or hike to stretch those legs and explore the world. Crane is: Neutered & up to date on vaccines House trained & crate trained Good with cats, and doesn’t mind pigs or chickens (though he may occasionally test a chicken’s luck ) Excellent with puppies He does have some classic “terrier personality” quirks: • He likes his space and prefers people who respect his boundaries • Crane is not a fan of people getting in his face, hugging tightly, or sudden close interactions — especially from new people. He does best with slow, respectful introductions where he can approach on his own terms. Once he trusts you, he’s a loyal and affectionate companion, just not the “in-your-face cuddly” type • Best in a home with adults or kids 16+ who understand dog body language • Can be hesitant with women at first, but warms up with patience • Not looking for drama with other dogs, but won’t immediately back down either • Will alert you to visitors (especially the Amazon driver ), but is not aggressive Crane also has a bit of a wandering spirit — especially if other dogs are involved — so a fenced yard or tie-out is a must to keep him safe. He would truly thrive with someone who understands terriers and appreciates their independent, quirky nature. With a little structure and some professional training, Crane has so much potential to be an incredibly loyal companion. Crane urgently needs a foster or adoptive home to help him transition into his next chapter. If you can open your home to Crane, please message us! ##2689530##
