Bijou's Story

Are you looking for a perfect Gem?<br/><br/>Meet Bijou a true diamond!! Just look at her sweet markings! She’s a 1 year old hound mix about 50lbs who arrived from a kill shelter in Texas, she was the last of 40 to hitch a ride north! <br/><br/>Described by her foster as Goofy, Clutsy, Extremely Cuddly, Stubborn at times but who isn’t?, Curious, Loveable, Playful, quite the "Drama Queen" and Adorable! <br/><br/><br/>Bijou’s favorite place: <br/>Being the center of attention.<br/><br/>Best Friends? Yes, please!<br/>Bijou does well with other dogs and enjoys their company! Playtime can get rowdy at times because she'll be full of young dog energy and has 3 furry friends to play with. Bijou is smart and responds to “break” when things get too silly and she will listen and come lay down with her friends. <br/><br/>If her playmate over powers her, she gets quite dramatic with her Hound like yowels (the Drama Queen in her).<br/><br/>Bijou lives with Cats and does fine most of the time but sometimes wants to play with them more than they want to.<br/><br/>Bijou likes kids and people but still is prone to being silly and might accidentally bump into little ones. <br/><br/>Perfect match? <br/>Bijou loves being praised for being a good girl and loves the attention of her foster mom! Her foster is busy with work and 4 dogs and cats and so Bijou would thrive with more attention and a family to spoil this gem!<br/><br/>Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). . It includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at our participating vets, age appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative, and micro-chipping. <br/><br/>We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family to approve an adoption. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed. An application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee adoption but does allow us to begin the review process. <br/><br/>Please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org for an application or additional details.<br/><br/>Please note that the breeds and sizes posted in this biography are educated best guesses and are not guaranteed.<br/><br/>Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant (adopter) for any reason.<br/><br/>Please consider becoming a foster home while you search for your new best friend. We need foster homes - pounds are overflowing with puppies and adult dogs that are at-risk and need help. We can only rescue as many as we have foster home commitments. Fostering is a rewarding experience for your family.
