My personality

My story

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

Chloe (age 12) and Zoe (age 5) are a bonded Mother / Daughter pair. They MUST be adopted together and KEPT together for life.

Both very sweet and loving. Love to cuddle. Sleep well through the night. Potty trained. Good at groomers. If they are downstairs and I am upstairs they will bark until I go down to get them. Initially they both went up and down the stairs without any issues.. but the fosters stairs are wood so now they are hesitant. (They must have slipped) but stairs with rugs or non-slip runners should be ok for them

Chloe, the mom still is a bit territorial.. and will growl at the fosters teen daughter, so we recommend no young children. Chloe will even growl at Zoe if she for instance jumps on her accidentally but she has never bitten or anyone or snapped .. just the growling and letting someone know she is not comfortable.

Both get along fine with the fosters dogs, however they can be dominant and compete for their owner's attention so it would be better for them to be the only 2 dogs in the house. It is not mandatory... but just preferable.

Chloe is more laid back and keeps more to herself, relaxing and sleeping. Zoe is a bundle of fun and playfulness. She love to play with humans, toys other dogs ... anyone!

They are UTD on vaccines and vet checked and healthy. We had both of them spayed last month and Zoe had a dental as well.

They are good alone during the day.. the foster can watch them on her camera when she is out and they just chill in their beds.

If you are interested in adopting these two little girls, please fill out our application at this link:

If you have already filled out an app on OUR Website (Not petfinder or other rescue sites) Then you can email us from the email you used in your app and we will look it up. Email us at: NNJBichonRescue@Yahoo.com

They are currently fostered in South Eastern NJ so we are taking apps from NJ, NY, Western PA, DE, and Northern MD. You must be willing to Drive to NJ to pick them up so no one that lives more than 2-3 hours drive from South Jersey.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are $150 - $400. We do have a special program "Seniors for Seniors" that promotes placement of senior bichons in furever homes (Adoption fees are from $75 - $100).

Each adopter is required to complete an adoption application (either on-line, written or faxed). We will review the application and get back to applicants within one week if your application matches an animal we fell is a good fit for you. Because we are a network of volunteers, not all applications can receive a prompt response. If you do not hear back from us within one week, please note that your application may not be appropriate for that specific dog. Check our website again. All adopters should furnish a vet reference, groomer reference (if available). A home visit will be required. We do not ship dogs. Therefore, you have to be within driving distance of Northern NJ.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter. Therefore, our pets have to be met via appointment. We do attend local pet adoption events in the NJ/NY metro area.

More about this rescue

We are a small group of rescue volunteers that branched-off from a Bichon Club when we realized there was a need to find homes for unwanted Bichons. Many of these little fluffs are homeless due to their marketing as "designer/hypoallergenic" toy dogs. When the dog does not meet all of the expectations or family situations/social hardships/health issues cause dogs to be relinquished, we assist in foster and vet care, and placement into a new furever home. Senior bichons are our specialty - educating the public that these little fluffs can live to 17 or 18 years old some even older.
