My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nina is an 8 y/o (ish) female bichon. She is spayed, just had a dental cleaning at the vet, and she is ready to go once we find her perfect family. She has always lived with Nino, the 10 year old male that is also posted on our website, and we'd LOVE for them to find a home together, but it is not absolutely essential. They can be split up if necessary. Nina is a loving, affectionate dog who LOVES to cuddle with her family members, but she is also quite playful. She came to rescue after her owner passed away due to cancer and was taken in by a family friend. Unfortunately, that friend had 3 other dogs of her own, two of which were puppies and one an elderly dog. So taking on two more was simply not an option. But she ADORED Nina and Nino and would have definitely kept them if it were not for the three she already had. If you are interested in Nina, please complete an application by visiting our website: www.dvbr.org OR click here: https://dvbr.wufoo.com/forms/zoa3yk4014ohn8/ to go directly to the application. Once we have it we will contact you to discuss the next steps, the first of which being a home visit where we would come to meet you & you would get to meet Nina and possibly her companion, Nino.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Once an application is submitted, it will be reviewed by one of our volunteers and the family's vet will be contacted for a reference.

2.

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

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.
