Story
Meet Buddy! This sweet little man is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix. Buddy is 13 pounds of pure happiness. He loves everyone & pretty much everything! Buddy is a professional cuddle bug. He was even a dream when I gave him a bath. He is crate trained. He would definitely benefit by having a fenced in yard. I think he would run if he got off the leash, so he will need someone who understands that & will keep him safe. He loves walks, but wants to be in control, so he will need a little help with leash training. Buddy like dogs & Cats. Buddy is up to date on his vaccinations, preventatives & he is neutered. He’s ready & waiting for his forever home.Apply at Rescuegang.orgDATCP#483538

Story
I bought Teddy for my boyfriend who has Alzheimer in June 2024. I thought he would benefit from the comfort and cuteness of a puppy and for the first year, everything was good. But now, because of his declining condition, he can no longer handle the energy a young dog brings. Teddy gets along with everyone and loves other dogs and children. He is super sweet and friendly and only barks for protection. The ideal family would have a stay at home, mom and children over the age of three. He loves to travel and loves the outdoors and is often off leash at dog parks, and other safe areas to run. He is very smart and a good listener, but has not had any professional training. He is housebroken and does go on potty pads if necessary. He has been a wonderful pet and I am very sad to have to rehome him, but it is for the best interest of not only my boyfriend but for Teddy too.

Story
About Me: Name: Various Breed (or best guess): Shih Tzu- Yorkie mix Date of Birth: 6/11/25 Gender: M Approximate Weight: on 11/12   9 lb Adoption Fee: $650 Requirements: Loving families Why In Rescue: Breeder surrenders Profile:   We received a number of puppies from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was not able to sell them to a broker or pet store.  They are happy friendly puppies who just need a family to grow and learn with.  When you apply and are approved, you will be able to come see the pups that are still available for adoption so you can pick one that has the personality you are hoping for.  They are all adorable and should be low or no shed mixes.  They haven't lived in a home yet, so a home will be new to them, but they should learn quickly!  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 December 3, 2025, 3:20 pm

Explore our adoptable animals and find your perfect match today! For the latest updates on the mutts, follow us on Facebook: @muttlifewi Visit our website: Muttlife.org Meet Beethoven Beethoven is a sweet 5-year-old Shih Tzu whose owner is heartbroken to rehome him but knows it’s the best thing for him. With a demanding schedule working and attending nursing school, she simply can’t give him the time and attention he deserves. Beethoven is ready for a home where he can be cherished, included, and loved the way every dog should be. Beethoven is a pretty chill guy overall. He isn’t overly demanding and enjoys spending his time doing whatever you’re doing—whether that’s relaxing at home, taking a stroll, or just hanging out nearby. He is crate trained, leash trained, and potty trained, making him an easy addition to just about any home. He gets along with everyone he meets and does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. Beethoven isn’t the playful type when it comes to other dogs; he prefers to quietly observe and keep to himself while the action unfolds around him. His gentle, easygoing personality makes him a great match for a calm household or someone looking for a low-maintenance companion. Beethoven is the kind of dog who simply wants to be near his people and enjoy life at a relaxed, comfortable pace. He’s affectionate, well-mannered, and ready for a home that can give him the love, time, and presence he’s been missing. Age: 5 years Gender: Male Weight: 18 Breed: Shih Tzu Spayed/Neutered: Not yet, scheduled Potty Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Leash Manners: Good Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Beethoven is a gentle, steady little companion who just wants to be part of someone’s everyday life.
