ABOUT THIS PET:



Name: Able

Breed: Mixed - Probably Schnoodle (Schnauzer-Poodle)

Age: 2 yr

Gender: Male

Weight: 11 lb

Adoption Fee: $350

Why in Rescue: From Animal Control

General Profile: Please fill out the adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs.

***Able had been adopted, but although he bonded with his owner, he needs work with reactivity to strangers so he is again looking for a home. He would also guard his toys/chews from the child in the family. Able needs an adult only home where his adopters are willing to work with his issues with strangers that come into the home as well as those he meets on walks. He especially seems to dislike people in uniform. His adoption fee will include the Shy/Reactive Dog Training Classes at For Pet's Sake in Mukwonago. Able is a loving dog and will be a great dog for the right home. Able is crate trained.****

Able wasn't able to be cared for by his family any longer so he ended up at animal control. Now he is looking for a home where he will be able to stay forever. We don't have a history on him, so don't know if he lived with children or other pets, or if he is housetrained. He does seem to keep his kennel clean, so is probably kennel trained and possibly housetrained. He gets a little nervous in new situations, and was scared when he first came to us. But now he enjoy attention and wants to be loved. His coat seems to be a lower shed/no shed type, and he was clipped short due to matting while at animal control. If you are interested in Able, please fill out a pre-adoption application and we will set up a time for you to meet him.

Adoption Procedures:

1. Completely fill out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog. We will be checking with your vet if you have had pets, calling your landlord (if any) and checking a personal reference, before we contact you about visiting the adoptables. Any missing information may have us moving onto another application.

2. If you application is approved, we will contact you to come meet the adoptables that you are interested in.

3. If it is a match, you will complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Please be prepared to take your adopted pet home when you come meet him/her. In most cases, you will be able to take the pet home the same day. If all the vetting hasn't been done yet, we will hold the pet for you until the vet work is completed.

4. If you have filled out an application and we haven't contacted you within a week, we may have missed your application, the pet may have been adopted by another applicant, or you may have been missing information on your application. You may contact us to find out the status of your application at this time. Please give us a week to process your application before contacting us!



The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $150 - $475 depending on the age of the dog, 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 and started on preventative, microchipped, and dewormed. 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 will also receive an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training for $50 (up to $200 value). You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, Small Dogs Big Hearts, or Shy & Reactive Dog Class. You must start the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee. For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc

All dogs are seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Many are in various foster homes getting extra one on one attention getting them ready for their new homes. The first step in adoption is filling out the pre-adoption application. Bichon and Little Buddies is run by volunteers who have full time jobs in addition to the hours they spend with the rescue dogs. Having an application on file assures us that the potential adopter is really interested in adopting a dog. It also assists us in placing dogs in homes where both the dog and new owners are happy. The application puts you under no obligation to adopt a dog from Bichon and Little Buddies.

The Dog Pre-Adoption Application can be found at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog

Thanks for thinking about adopting your new pet!



***Other than during open hours, we do not show dogs/cats 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 until AFTER you have filled out an application.***

***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, 50% of the adoption fee will be refunded 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.***

Bichon and Little Buddies is a State Licensed Rescue # 268555-DS
