Story
Meet Honey! Age: young adult Weight: 19 pounds History: former mill dog. I'm a very sensitive soul, and it's taken me a bit more time to come around to living in a home and what it's like to be around humans. Housetrained: working on it Crate trained: no, and after that being my only means of living, I'm very scared of them. Good with: Dogs (I actually do much better with another dog who can help me learn how to be a part of a family), cats. No kids, please, they are a bit too much for me. Special needs: hypothyroidism (meds for this) and gastrointestinal issues, specifically when switching food, so will have a specific diet. I'm ready to start looking for my forever home after month in my foster home and making small strides in the right direction. I'll need someone who is very patient and very understanding and willing to help me learn that family life is the best life. I'm working on my pottying outside, but I will need a completely fenced-in yard and a long leash while I'm learning that you are okay while doing so. It's a scary big world for me right now, and the great outdoors puts me in flight mode, so the fence is very important for my safety. I have it in me to be loved, but it will take time, and it will be so rewarding. We can celebrate my progress together! If you have some understanding of mill dog survivors, you might be my person. If you don't have an understanding of mill dog survivors, but have the patience to put the work in, I might be your dog! If you think you can get past my good looks and my incredibly soft fur, get ahold of my people so we can start our journey together! *Honey is being fostered in Trempealeau, WI. Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $300, ($550 for a pair).

Story
About Me: Name: Ya Ya Breed (or best guess): Shih Tzu - Poodle Approximate Age: 8 yr Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 8 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Fenced Yard, Another Small Dog Why In Rescue: Puppy Mill Survivor Profile:   Ya Ya came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use her for breeding.  Ya Ya has been with us awhile but still isn't sure about being handled yet.  She will either follow the other dogs outside or can be picked up to be taken outside to the kennels.  She has barely started learning how to walk on a leash, so needs a fenced yard or secure potty area to work on housetraining.  She does need another dog in the home to make her feel comfortable and help her get use to life in a home. 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 February 12, 2025, 3:57 pm

Story
Piper is being fostered in PA. Piper is a gentle and quiet little guy who is fairly new to his foster home (January 2025). He can be found napping and usually changes beds so he makes it like a game of hide and seek to check on him. Piper is a bit skittish as far as being handled, especially with his head and face. He seems as though he's not been cuddled in a long time or else he is very timid in his new setting away from his original owner. He will take some time to learn to trust people and not pull away. If he is not being held, he does enjoy pets and scratches on his head and body, just not when being held. He is very good at finding his way around his foster home and will investigate or will follow his foster mom when it's meal time. There are also times he needs to be awakened from a deep sleep to eat. Piper is still adjusting to his new life. The first few days he would need his bedding changed about every 12 hours because he would mess in it but that has decreased to a very occasional poo on his bla

Story
Silverado is being fostered in PA. I am a silver mini poodle that was born on 11/9/2024. I was born blind, but I do not know that. I go by the name of River because I go with the flow of life. Being blind has not stopped me from playing, running in the backyard, and learning how to go up and down stairs. Toys, did someone say toys? "I love toys!" I love everyone I meet, 4-legged and 2-legged, with a wagging wiggly butt. Snuggling is one of my favorite things to do, on laps, on the couch..... well just about anywhere. I would do well in a home with a confident, gentle dog that can help me adjust to my furever home. Older children will be ok but little kids will scare me. I sleep in my crate at night. I am quiet for 6-8 hours then I need to go out to pee and pooh. Then I go right back into my crate and sleep till my Foster Mom says it is time to get up and play with my foster sister. I have a gorgeous coat that will require regular grooming. I do not mind being left alone as long as I am safely in my crate. I am a quiet guy. I only have accidents when my Foster Mom is busy and not paying attention to me. "Hey, I am standing by the backdoor. Got to go out.” I am also working on walking on a leash. It is a work in progress. I am UTD on all vaccines. So, I am ready to find my furever home. I promise to love you with all my heart. So, if I sound like you could love me forever, please apply to adopt me. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Banjo is being fostered in VA. Banjo is progressing with housebreaking skills. In January 2025, Banjo came to his Virginia foster home from Texas. His Texas family (who breed toy poodles) gave him to BDRA to rehome because an elderly person was worried she may trip over him. Banjo is a sweet 6 pound, 20-month-old poodle. Banjo’s coat is black except for a touch of grey on his back and then about two-thirds of his tail is grey too. Very distinctive and beautiful! He recently went to the groomers and she said he behaved very well! Banjo is very loving with his foster parents. He follows his foster mom around the house and loves to get attention. He especially loves ear rubs and is starting to enjoy “sofatime” in the evening with his foster mom and the other dogs. When he is going to be picked up, it helps him when his foster parents first let him smell their hands and also to hear their voices so he does not get startled by a touch he is not expecting. Once he knows who it is, he is excited and happy! Banjo likes the three other dogs in the foster home and enjoys sharing a bed with them - when they will allow it! When Banjo is out in the yard first, he immediately walks up to the other dogs when it is their turn to be outside. There is a cat in the foster home too. Banjo was very alert to the cat when he first arrived (he did not have cats in his former home) but now does not seem to notice her. Banjo lost his vision around the time of his birth but his hearing is good and so is his sense of smell. Within a couple weeks of being in his foster home, he learned his way around. He can be a high energy little guy, and anyone interested in adopting Banjo needs to be prepared for some activity! Remember, he is still a young dog and, while he is full-grown, he still some has puppy energy and can get so excited! At times, he will walk in circles; his foster mom guesses he has energy to burn so finds a safe circle to move around in (a safe circle since he has no vision) and then starts moving. But when he wants to, he can walk carefully in any direction he chooses. And, as he continues to settle into his foster home, he spends more time relaxing and less time on the go. When he is moving, he does a very good job at avoiding obstacles, including the other dogs, only occasionally gently bumping into them. He is even doing a bit of climbing (for example, from a dog bed to the top of a low dog crate that’s next to the bed). He is smart and is figuring things out! He has just started showing interest in playing with toys too. Banjo is very alert to sounds, especially new sounds, and he may growl or bark at times when he hears something new or unexpected. He also may join in the chorus of barking with the other three dogs who live in his foster home. Generally, though, he is quiet, including when he sleeps in his indoor pen at night. However, when he hears his foster parents getting up in the morning, he may bark a bit as if to say “come get me!” Banjo enjoys being outside. Like many dogs, he prefers mild, dry weather and, when the weather is good, he may walk all over the yard. There are times, though, when he is not interested in walking around (regardless of the weather) and so will stand still, waiting to be carried inside. While Banjo could likely learn to go up and down a step or two, Banjo would not be safe at this time going up and down a flight of steps on his own. Anyone interested in adopting Banjo needs to be prepared to carry him up and down steps. When Banjo arrived at his foster home, he was not housetrained so his foster parents have been working hard on this. He is making nice progress but still will have accidents. Anyone interested in adopting Banjo must be ready and willing to continue to work on housetraining with Banjo. Banjo loves to eat! When he first arrived at his foster home, he did not finish his food and turned his head at treats. Not anymore! He is thrilled at mealtime and cleans his bowl, and he loves to get a treat! Banjo was wonderful at his first vet visit, charming all the vet staff. The vet enjoyed holding Banjo in his lap while examining him. While Banjo was nervous when his blood was drawn, he never got snappy (nor has he ever been snappy at his foster home). He is a healthy dog and is on no medication. He is scheduled for a dental at the end of February to clean some tarter off his teeth and to investigate his eyes/eye sockets as there is some drainage. Once he is under anesthesia, the vet will be able to thoroughly check his eyes/eye sockets and make a decision about what needs to be done. After this surgery, it is expected Banjo will be ready to be adopted! :) Banjo is looking for a very special home. A home where his family understands he is still learning and where his family is willing to work with him as he continues to mature. Banjo is a sweet boy but would not be a good fit in a home with young children because young children tend to move quickly and unpredictably, and this would likely be startling for Banjo. If you believe you can provide Banjo with the loving, supportive, nurturing environment he deserves and can give Banjo the time he needs as he continues to learn and develop, please fill out an adoption application. More information will be provided to potential adopters after he has his surgery at the end of February. And remember the Blind Dog Rescue can work out a transport to get Banjo to you (within a reasonable distance). BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
