Nino is a neutered male bichon. He has lived with his companion, Nina, since he was about 2 years old. They are bonded but CAN be separated if absolutely necessary. Nino is 100% housetrained, neutered, and just had his teeth cleaned at the vet. He loves other dogs & people. He is extremely affectionate, very loving, and quite active, but also loves to cuddle on the couch. Nino and his companion, Nina, lived with a woman who recently died of cancer. They were turned over to rescue by a friend after their owner passed away. If you are interested in Nino, or better yet, in BOTH dogs, please complete an application which you can access on our website: www.dvbr.org OR by clicking here: https://dvbr.wufoo.com/forms/zoa3yk4014ohn8/ . Once we have your application, we will contact you to arrange a home visit & discuss the next step. Bichons are a VERY youthful breed & often live 18-20+ years. They are often mistaken for puppies, even when they are elderly. Nino & Nina are spunky little dogs with plenty of life left. Anyone familiar with the breed probably already knows this.

Home Check
If the family passes step 1, we schedule a home visit. If possible, we bring the dog along during the home visit.
3.
Sign Adoption Contract
Following the home visit, IF the family is approved for that specific dog and all parties are agreeable, an adoption contract is signed.
Additional adoption info
Submit Application, Home Visit, Adoption Contract. Families are required to return the dog to the rescue if there is ever a time they cannot keep the dog for the remainder of his or her life.

Meeting our pets is done on an appointment basis, usually at your home, but occasionally at their foster homes. However, step one is an adoption application so that we can make sure that you would be an appropriate home for the dog you are interested in adopting. In this way, no one's time is wasted. So please complete an application first. Once that's been accomplished, someone will contact you about the next step.

More about this rescue
Delaware Valley Bichon Rescue is a 501c3, non-profit, all-volunteer organization that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes bichons and bichon mixes (and when necessary, their companions) who find themselves in need of a new home. We work with vets, shelters and private families who need our assistance. We take dogs in any condition and of any age, as long as we can find a foster home for them. We are a foster-based organization and therefore we do not have a facility. For that reason, the first step in our adoption process is an application.
