Story
Cricket is a sweet girl who was surrendered to our rescue! She has an initially shy and sweet personality, but warms up with gentle hands and patience. She is a petite girl who is good with other dogs and has some cat experience. She has only been in rescue for a few days and we look forward to getting to know her better! Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
About Me: Name: Paru Tony Breed (or best guess): Mix - maybe Russell Terrier mix Approximate Age: 6 yr Gender: male Approximate Weight: 17 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Loving Family Why In Rescue: Transfer from Texas Rescue Profile:  Paru Tony is an adorable shorthair mix.  He is friendly and playful and a favorite where ever he goes.  He has been good with both people and dogs but should be fed separately at least for now.  He is hoping to find a family of his own soon!  We don't know about his housetraining as most of the dogs that come to us from Texas spent most of their time outside before getting care for by a rescue group. 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 1, 2025, 7:44 pm

Story
Sushi is being fostered in CT. Sushi loves to cuddle and would love to have her own person and family; however she would do best as an only dog so she can get all the love to herself. She travels great in the car and will either sit on your lap for a short trip or in the backseat with a doggy car seat. She is housetrained and will go to the door to let you know she has to go potty. She eats like a champ and takes her insulin well. She also does great at the vet and loves her vet clinic friends. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going. Sushi is not interested in toys but loves to chew on vet approved bones. She loves to sleep on the couch with a comfy blanket, and she uses dog steps to get on. She can safely jump down as long as the floor is not slippery. I have a dog stroller for Sushi and she happily will sit in it and go for a ride or sleep in it when I am sitting at the computer. She enjoys going for short walks and gets excited when you put her leash on! She also does a very funny trot out in the backyard. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
How to begin this story.. well I am a silly guy. I believe many myths to be true. No dog is too small for the job and no legs are too short, that includes my own stumpy legs. I look like a funny cross between a Jack Russel, maybe a Corgi and something Doodley all glued together. I call it handsome. Herbert is the name and when Im feeling spicy its, Herberto! I was a stray that found myself alone in a hospital run for weeks. Telling everyone to piss off and leave me alone, except for one lovely guy. He became my first real friend, my handler, my confidant. This young man brought me to Redemption! Where I am now learning even more about myself and this beautiful world around me. I enjoy nature, running through lake edges and streams. I dont mind getting my feet dirty or letting you rinse them off. I love fresh flowers growing in the grass and gardens, I love tearing the ground up with my swift little feet. If you arent paying attention ill spin in a circle and bounce right off of you! Funny to me, not so funny to the dog walkers. I am a typical terrier in many ways. I love to have fun, chase a ball for a moment, and nip dogs butts in play group. The terrier in me just squeals with joy at the thrill of the chase! My playmates..... ya not so much..they occasionally hand my butt back to me. I am a good sport though and can let most things go. Now with that being said; I crave a strong leader. Some one that isn't afraid to keep me on my toes, make sure I complete all my chores and stay on my best behavior. Its true that I push the envelope, but I promise I just wanna be a good boy...most of the time.  Herbert is a loving social boy that would do great in a home with another dog, he also doesn't mind cats and could live happily with older considerate children. Herbert walks nicely on a leash, is crate and potty trained, but still needs some work on sharing things he values. He has a slight spicy side that can be tamed with a good full routine and physical activity. He really is an amazing dog that would do best with an owner that has terrier experience. Please contact us to learn more about this silly goose! Contact us today to meet this remarkable dog. To ask about Herbert, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.   _____     See what's new with our rescue including updates on our animals and upcoming events:    https://lnk.bio/redemptionroadinc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/R4inc/ Instagram: @redemptionroadinc Our trainer's Instagram:  @fullcircledogtrainer November 29, 2025, 4:52 pm
