Story
My fashion is the scruffy look, this way I can roll around and have fun and when I get up, I still look the same. Ha ha! I’m also kind of a whiz at playing fetch, you know it’s a great way to stay in shape while having fun. Sometimes I’ll even stick my tongue out, so you know what this means….drop the treat! I’d love to be your “catch” so let’s meet soon!

Story
This little pup came from a local hoarding situation. Due to this they do require a fenced yard as well as another dog in the home.  Wakanda is one of the pups rescued from the Wauconda hoarding case and is just beginning to discover how good life can be. Wakanda tends to warm up more quickly to women and is still learning to trust men. He’s working with a trainer to help build confidence and ease his protective streak. While he’s still figuring things out, his sweet side is shining through more each day. He loves spending time outside, so a securely fenced yard is a must for this curious explorer. He’d do best in a quiet home with older kids who understand that trust takes time. With patience, love, and continued training, Wakanda is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.    Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2460452##

Story
About Me: Name: Paris Taylor Breed (or best guess): Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Approximate Age: 3 yr Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 10 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Patient Family Why In Rescue: Transfer from Texas Rescue Profile:  Paris Taylor is a shy but sweet girl who would love a family that will give her time to become more comfortable with handling.  She has done well with the other small dogs she has had contact with.  We have just had her interact with other dogs her size so she doesn't become overwhelmed.  We don't know about her 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 August 30, 2025, 2:05 pm

Story
Meet Lake! Lake is a 5 year old, 12 pound, Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. Lake came to TNT from a hoarding situation, so he is still decompressing and getting accustomed to life in a home as a family dog! He does well with other dogs, but he's still nervous about new people. His foster family is helping him along the way, including starting to work on training. Slow and steady wins the race! He is looking for a forever home with a family that will be patient as he learns how to feel comfortable with them. He would love to have a confident resident dog who can show him the ropes! He's already started to show us that he wants love - he approaches his foster family for pets and paws gently for more. We are sure that with more guidance and love, he will understand that his life has really just begun! Let us know if your home could be a good fit for Lake! Lake's adoption fee is $400

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Lilo! This sweet and resilient girl is a female Rat Terrier/Jack Russell mix, born around June 12, 2021, and weighing a petite 13.5 pounds. Lilo's story is one of rescue and hope. A kind senior citizen saved her just in time from the euthanasia list at San Antonio Animal Care Service. Unable to keep Lilo herself, she brought her to us, determined that this loving dog deserved a second chance at life. We are so glad she did! Lilo is a very friendly and affectionate companion who will quickly steal your heart. While she adores people, she can be a little temperamental and protective when meeting new dogs, so she needs a patient home that will provide slow, careful introductions. Once she knows another dog is a friend, her true sweet nature shines through. Are you the right person to give Lilo the forever home she deserves? You can apply to adopt her on the A Doggie 4 You website. Her adoption fee is $300. Bring Lilo into your life and experience the joy of rescuing a wonderful pet! This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
