Maltese puppies and dogs in Mukwonago, Wisconsin

Offering Foster to Adopt: ☆Jack☆ Born October 17th, 2020 (he's 5 years old) Mixed breeds of Maltese, Shitzu, Schnauzer, Yorkie Weighs 14 lbs. Seen at Kenosha Lake Shore Veterinary Clinic Jack is housebroken, well potty trained, but is crate trained for when left home alone, or at least confined to one room. He is leashed every time when taken outside to go potty. He is not accustomed to a fenced in yard so he is not let off leash outside at all, but he would probably LOVE to have free reign in a fenced in yard. Jack loves the outdoors. Jack has been good with other dogs, he has NOT been around cats so I'm unsure of his temperament with cats. Jack has been raised around kids, but does get anxious around a lot of noise. He may benefit from being in a home with older children rather than young children. Jack likes car rides, attention, belly rubs, walks, naps, food, and exploring. He is a natural born scavenger and will eat strange things if he's able, so keep garbage, kleenex, and q-tips out of reach from this silly little furball! Jack does NOT like toy guns (nerf, or any such likeness), being touched while he is eating, getting his nails cut, too much loud noise (he barks at our vacuum). Jack does not like sleeping in his own bed, he prefers to sleep in your bed if you allow it, or possibly a couch or comfy chair. Located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Adoption Application and Foster Agreement can be completed at www.tinypawssmalldogrescue.org if interested in Jack. Questions please contact Vicki at (262) 496-9324. Adoption Fee $550.

Meet Violet. Violet is a 4 year old (5 in Oct.) Maltese. She spent her first 4 years being used for breeding, and was recently released to Tiny Paws to start her new life. My dogs are showing her the ropes, and she is adjusting to life indoors very well. She uses a potty pad, if needed, but has been very good about going outside with the other dogs. Only has 💩 accidents, overnight. But still on the pad (or at least mostly). The first night home, she stayed in one spot, near the door, on the cold, hard floor. The second night, I took her to bed with me, and now she stays there most of the time. She learned quickly, a soft bed is way better than the floor. 🥰🐾 I believe she would do best with adults only. She may be okay with older kids, but loud noises and quick movements make her nervous. She’s learning that hands are meant for pets, not pain, and she loves it when you scratch her head behind her ears. Violet will require a fenced yard, and someone who is patient enough to allow her to blossom. I believe she would do best with another dog in the home, to help teach her how to be a normal dog. (Not a mill dog) She’s come a long way in just a few days, and I think she will settle into her new life just fine. She’s very sweet. Located in Union Grove, WI with Heather nanashome71@gmail.com.

About Me: Name: Yvette  Breed (or best guess): Bichon  Approximate Age: 10 years  Gender: Female  Approximate Weight: 15 lbs  Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: fenced in yard, another dog in home  Why In Rescue: retired breeder/ puppy mill surrender  Profile:  Yvette has been in a foster home for quite some time and is really ready to have a home of her own. Here is what her foster has to say about her:   Miss Yvette has learned how to be a real dog these past several months. She loves to cuddle in bed with me, munch on carrots for treats, and follow around my own woofs. She is really sweet and is ready to find her forever home. Yvette came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use her for breeding or was not able to sell her to a broker or pet store.  Dogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often very scared/shy/skittish) and probably never lived in a house.  They will need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like a television are.  They need a patient adopter who will give them the time they need to adjust and to learn to trust people.  Every baby step forward needs to be celebrated, and the dog needs to be accepted for who they are at each step.  Some dogs can adjust quickly and learn how to be a loved pet pretty easily.  Others can take a long time to even be comfortable with things like walking through the house and being in the same room as a person.  No matter how far and how fast the breeder dogs progress, they are wonderful dogs and deserve a great home after their life on the puppy farm.  A fence or at least a secure fenced in potty area is highly recommended for the dog's safety, and may be required for some dogs.  Another small dog in the house can also help many former breeders adjust faster to life in a home, and also may be required in some cases.  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 $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 $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 March 7, 2026, 6:42 pm

About Me: Name: Sasha (Iaolani) Breed (or best guess): Bichon Approximate Age: 10 yr Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 18 lb Adoption Fee: $495 ($740 for Sasha and Betty if adopted together) Requirements: Fenced yard, patient adopter, another small dog Why In Rescue: Owner Surrender (puppy mill survivor) Profile:  Sasha was adopted into a loving home but she wasn't a fan of the human male of the household, so is now hoping for a female only living situation.  She did well in her home otherwise, learning to use the doggy door to go potty and play outside.  She is good in the car and in her crate at home.  She doesn't walk on a leash however.  She was good with the other dogs in the family and just avoided children if they visited.  We believe she would be happiest in a family with other dogs and only female humans.  She doesn't bark at the males that come into the shelter, but she was stressed and barked at the human in her adoptive home.  If interested in Sasha please fill out the pre-adoption application. If you have the ability to adopt a pair of dogs, Sasha has become best fur friends with Betty, so if adopted together, they have a reduced fee of $740 for the pair. Iaolani came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use her for breeding.  Iaolani is a happy girl who is progressing nicely past her puppy mill days.  She is a very sweet girl who wants attention.  She will need work on walking on a leash, so a fenced yard or potty area is best.  She will need help with housetraining.  She would be happiest if she is adopted into a home with another small social dog, or adopted with one of her friends.  If interested please fill out the adoption application. Dogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often very scared/shy/skittish) and probably never lived in a house.  They will need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like a television are.  They need a patient adopter who will give them the time they need to adjust and to learn to trust people.  Every baby step forward needs to be celebrated, and the dog needs to be accepted for who they are at each step.  Some dogs can adjust quickly and learn how to be a loved pet pretty easily.  Others can take a long time to even be comfortable with things like walking through the house and being in the same room as a person.  No matter how far and how fast the breeder dogs progress, they are wonderful dogs and deserve a great home after their life on the puppy farm.  A fence or at least a secure fenced in potty area is highly recommended for the dog's safety, and may be required for some dogs.  Another small dog in the house can also help many former breeders adjust faster to life in a home, and also may be required in some cases.  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.
