Story
This is Wo'i (pronounced like "Roy" but with a "W"). It's a Native word.  Wo'i is a 1-2 yr old male Maltese.  He is very skittish around people but gets along good with dogs and cats. He will do best if no young children as he scares easily. He is a flight risk so a fenced back yard is necessary. His new mom/dad will have to have experience with puppy mill dogs.  He's not yet housetrained. He doesn't mind a crate and sometimes prefers one. Wo'i is not a barker. He's very quiet. He immensely enjoys being outside.  He will find doggy perfume to roll in, explore the yard, and sometimes he just sits and looks off into the distance. He is about 10lbs. Not aggressive. Will be UTD on vaccines, neutered, chipped, and have certificate of health. Wo'i is not ready for adoption now, but will be ready soon. He's a looker! Currently fostered in Rockford, IL. If you’re interested in adopting go to tinypawssmalldogrescue.org and fill out an application for Wo'i.  Adoption fee of $450 is required.

Story
Benny is a 2 year old Maltese who has so much love to offer he softly howls when I leave him out of loneliness. He is a breeder release but is making such amazing progress of learning what it’s like to be a dog. He is good with other dogs and learning about toys and bones and walks and enjoying them all! House training is going very well and he tolerates wearing a belly band as a preventative. His adoption fee is $550 thru Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue in Union Grove. Benny is being fostered in love and kindness and lots of patience for his past in Waukesha by Wendy at 262-720-0474. Email is wbucky31@gmail.com Please reach out with any questions on this precious little dog.

About Me: Names:  Gail Kim, Nitro Girl, Lady Blossom, Starla Saxton (and more) Breed (or best guess): Maltese, Poodle, Shih Tzu type mixes Approximate Age: 3-6 yrs Gender: F Approximate Weight: around 10 lb Adoption Fee: $495 for 1 or adopt a pair for $850 Requirements: patience to train for leash walking, another dog is helpful Why In Rescue: Owner passed away Profile:  The Wrestler Pack is a group of young dogs from 3-6 whose owner passed away.  They were left in poor grooming condition and had fleas.  They have now been clipped, bathed, treated for fleas, and updated their vet care.  They have been started on vaccines, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm preventative.  Prior to adoption they will be spayed/neutered, heartworm tested negative, rabies vaccinated, microchipped and passed a veterinary exam.  The have also received dentals if needed. They are all friendly dogs but seem to have never walked on a leash.  They may have spent much of their time outside, so we don't know about their housetraining.  They do want to be with other dogs and get along well with each other, so may have separation anxiety if there isn't another dog in the home.  (Don't have another dog, think about adopting two if you have the time, space, and finances.  There is a reduced adoption fee for adopting a pair.)  We don't know if they have been exposed to children or to cats.  The little ones who have gone into foster homes are doing very well! If interested in meeting/adopting one of these dogs, please fill out the pre-adoption application, and we will have you come in to meet the various dogs so you can find one (or two) that have the personality you are looking for.  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 $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 November 5, 2024, 8:05 pm

Kaiya, a 3yr old, 10lb Maltese mix, is ready to find her family! She is friendly, playful, curious and looking to experience some new adventures. Kaiya would be great in an active home with another dog. She came from the same home as Marty, who is also looking for a home, should you be interested in two dogs. They do wonderful together but can be adopted separately.

Meet Marty, a complete sweetheart who loves to warm laps and cuddle! Marty is a middle-aged Maltese mix, about 9 lbs. He enjoys spending time outside exploring and playing with both his toys and friend Kaiya, whom he came into rescue with from the same home. If looking for a second dog Kaiya is also available and they do wonderful together, although adopting together is not required. An ideal home would include another dog and a loving family looking for a dog to spoil.

These pups are in Burlington, Wisconsin too!

Story
Say hello to beautiful Opal! This sweet girl is about 9 years old. She’s a rescued puppy mill mama Bichon. Like so very many of these so-called breeder releases (i.e. no longer producing sellable puppies so no longer of any value to the business operators) she is extremely timid and unsure of life outside of a locked box. She does not trust humans - and I don`t blame her one little bit. After many months in her foster home, she has made progress, but that progress is always guarded and often accompanied by a swift return to where she was before the progress (she`s a one step forward, two steps back kind of gal). She watches my every move with curiosity/suspicion, lol. She likes to be near the me and the pack when I`m home but doesn`t necessarily want to cuddle in with us. She`s more of a `I`ll be over here watching you, but you can reach over and pet me if you want,` type of pup. She does get excited when I get home from work and will sometimes do zoomies in the yard with the big boys, but she doesn`t want me bursting her fun bubble by trying to get too close. I have built trust with her to the point where she wants to be by me, wants me to pet her, lets me do anything I need to do with her (besides go for a walk), but she is usually still nervous during it all. Heartwarming are the times when she is truly relaxed and enjoying some love from me - those times are slowly building in frequency. Love and patience are paying off. She must have a fenced-in yard at her new home as a leash isn’t an option for this sweetheart. She is going to need time and lots of patient, unconditional love and support to transition into a new life. Her ideal adopter is someone who is looking to share her/his home with an introvert :)You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about Opal on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet me today!! Adoption fee: $425 All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations. As required by Wisconsin Act 90, all dogs will have received a veterinarian exam (CVI) within the past 30 days. Our adoption process requires the submission of an application. Applications and Adoption Rules can be found on our website, on the `HOW TO ADOPT` tab at JRsPupsNStuff.org. Upon receipt of the completed application
