Yorkie puppies and dogs in Burlington, Wisconsin

About Me: Name: Frosty Breed (or best guess): Yorkie Approximate Age: 6 years Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 7 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Patient adopter, fenced yard is best Why In Rescue: Puppy mill survivor Profile:   Frosty came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use her for breeding.  She is a shy, quiet girl who will need time to adjust to a new home.  She is becoming more comfortable in her foster home and uses potty pads in her area.  A fenced yard or potty area is best, and another small dog may help her adjust more quickly.  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 $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 May 16, 2026, 12:01 pm

Meet Macie! Nickname: Mace of Base, Macie Moo Breed: Yorkie Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Golden Oldie Weight: 14 pounds Background: Macie was surrendered to a shelter in Georgia because her humans were moving and she wasn't allowed to go with. Fun fact: Macie has been told that she looks like the flying nun with those amazing ears! Foster home: Madison, WI Activity level: Moderate Friendly with: Dogs, cats, and older, respectful kids. Macie is a bit exuberant in taking treats, so children should be taught to offer then with a flat hand. Meals: High quality dry small breed kibble mixed with canned, moist food. Meds: Only on monthly preventatives. Has a slight heart murmur but nothing of concern to the vet Sleep style: Macie sleeps on a dog bed next to the human bed, but she would REALLY love to sleep with her humans! Snore-o-meter: 1/10. Maybe a little purr now and then. Bark-o-meter: 2/10. A queen doesn't bark. It's unseemly. Shedding meter: 5/10. Regular brushings and groomings will help lower this number! Walkout song: "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. Macie greets every day with joy, enthusiasm, a hop and a skip. Favorite pattern: Pink and sparkly. Because I am absolutely FABULOUS Best accessory: A pair of sparkly pink cat's eye sunglasses.... and a crown. Treat me like a queen and I will repay you with love and snuggles Favorite activity: Walkies for days! Add in a wiggle and a little jump, and that is mu favorite thing! Best feature: her thirst for life. She wants to see it all, sniff it all, do it all, eat it all. Favorite season: Spring. Or summer. Basically anything not cold and snowy. Also, rumor has it that y'all have lots of food on the grill in the summer up here. Personality: Silly, energetic, sweet, delightful, loyal, attached Macie's foster mommy says that she is hands down the sweetest, easiest foster she has ever had. Despite being an older lady, she is raring to go, ready to adventure, and walks like it is her runway and you are her hype man. She can get overwhelmed if other dogs are overly loud, and will go isolate to remove herself from the situation. Microchipped Spayed Housebroken, but she is older and has a small bladder so plan for regular potty breaks. She will alert when she has to go outside. Fearful and will bark in a crate.

Meet Shadow Nickname: His Royal Highness Breed: Yorkie mix Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge Age: 15 years old (and I still get my 10000 steps in, which for humans would be 5000-those extra 2 legs doubles the number) Weight: 12 pounds (I am small but mighty) History: Shadow was surrendered to a shelter in Louisiana and brought up to Wisconsin to find his forever home. We think he was mistreated so he will need a patient adopter so he can discover you are safe. Medical issues: Stage 2/3 kidney disease that is being managed with food and supplements. My hearing is not exceptional and I startle when there are loud noises. Foster home: Whitewater, WI Activity level: Low to moderate. I love a good snooze but am always up for a walk and few sets of zoomies in the back yard Friendly with: adults and older kids. Other dogs cramp my style and I was being smacked around by a cat at another place so I am not fond of furry felines Sleep style: I'm sort of like Goldilocks and like to try out a few select areas before I make my choice for the day. I will sleep on the bed with you until you fall asleep and then hop to the floor to find my snuggly bed. Meals: canned Zignature and pork rwbble. Snore-o-meter: 0 Bark-o-meter: 3 (I am quiet most of the time but will howl for a bit when you leave. Once I am comfortable with my house I don't howl because I know you are coming back) Shedding meter: 4 (I need my soft fur gently brushed and occasional grooming) Fashion: I am sure I will explore this further when that stuff called snow starts falling. At that point, as long as it is warm-that's my fashion. Signature color: Black, of course (see below) Fun fact: you cannot see me in a dark room or when it is dark outside because I am a ninja! Walk out song: Go Ninja Go by Vanilla Ice Favorite season: Autumn (hot weather is nice but a cool Autumn breeze is perfect for napping) Personality: a bit aloof until I know you are safe, but if you pick up the leash, or are going outside, I will be your best friend Best feature: I'm cute-I mean look at me! Loves: racing around the backyard like he's training to break the record for the land speed record, then collapsing so all can bask in his glory Dislikes: being picked up when I am not ready. Just because I am portable does not mean you can put me where you want me. I'll get there, just give me a second. Sheesh, what the rush? Bucket list: shopping for my winter wardrobe (perhaps a Badger or Packer fleece), trying to figure out how I am going to be a ninja in the snow, trips to Culver's for a pup cup and maybe a butter burger-those both have a lot of protein, right? If taken out every 2-3 hours I'm fine but if you will be gone longer, I wear a diaper and a belly band. I also wear a diaper and belly band at night in case I cannot get to the door fast enough. I went to the dentist recently and left with all my teeth so they are in good shape Neutered Microchipped Takes treats gently Walks happily on leash and will let you know when he is ready to be done-sometimes gets anxious and needs to run and wants to get back to his yard for a zoomie session Excellent in car Roams freely when home alone with a belly band on UTD on vaccinations UTD on preventatives Shadow is a sweet, quiet dog that just wants to be near his person. He loves treats! His teeth are in great shape. He loves a good walk and will go several times a day, as long as it is not too hot. He may be losing his hearing, so he does startle easily if he doesn't know you are there. Please know that he was not well treated in his previous home, so his new humans should be willing to be patient and gentle with him.

Landon is an almost one-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix with a charming personality and a whole lot of puppy energy packed into his 11-pound frame. This handsome little guy is full of life—playful, spirited, and always ready to make new friends, whether they’re people or other dogs. Like many young pups, Landon is still learning the ropes. He can be a bit mouthy during play and will benefit from continued training to help him develop good manners and confidence. He’s eager to engage and please, which makes him a great candidate for positive reinforcement training. Landon would thrive in a home that can provide structure, patience, and consistency as he continues to grow. He’ll need some work on leash skills and would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard, as he’s currently a bit of an escape artist when curiosity strikes. With the right guidance and a loving environment, Landon has all the makings of a devoted and joyful companion. If you’re looking for a fun-loving pup to grow and bond with, Landon could be your perfect match.   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.

Rosie is a little lady with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. She’s a sweetheart and lives for cozy snuggle time. Bonus feature: she has the cutest little snore that somehow makes naps even more adorable. Rosie loves her walks and keeps a surprisingly brisk pace for such a tiny girl. She enjoys making friends around the neighborhood and is wonderfully curious about meeting new humans too. Social butterfly energy in a pint-sized package. She has a gentle, loving personality and just wants to be close to her person (or people). Because she bonds deeply, Rosie isn’t a fan of being left alone for long periods. She would thrive in a home with a person or family who’s home often, and/or a friendly dog companion to keep her company. If you’re looking for a devoted little shadow with endless affection and charm, Rosie is ready to fill your home with warmth, snuggles, and tiny happy snores.   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.
