Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies and dogs in Shorewood, Wisconsin

About Me: Name: Raina, Risha, Raya Breed (or best guess): Cavalier mix Approximate Age: 12 weeks  Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 8-10 lbs  Adoption Fee: $650 Requirements: Loving and patient adopters willing to train and potty train a puppy Why In Rescue: breeder surrender/puppy mill Profile:   These 3 shy sisters came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was not able to sell him to a broker or pet store. They are cautious meeting new people but warm up quickly and love snuggling up on someones lap.    Dogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often very scared/shy/skittish) and probably never lived in a house.  They will need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like a television are.  They need a patient adopter who will give them the time they need to adjust and to learn to trust people.  Every baby step forward needs to be celebrated, and the dog needs to be accepted for who they are at each step.  Some dogs can adjust quickly and learn how to be a loved pet pretty easily.  Others can take a long time to even be comfortable with things like walking through the house and being in the same room as a person.  No matter how far and how fast the breeder dogs progress, they are wonderful dogs and deserve a great home after their life on the puppy farm.  A fence or at least a secure fenced in potty area is highly recommended for the dog's safety, and may be required for some dogs.  Another small dog in the house can also help many former breeders adjust faster to life in a home, and also may be required in some cases.  We do put the needs of the dog's first, so it is nothing personal if we determine a particular dog isn't suitable for your specific home and living situation. If considering adopting a former breeding dog, the following article is good to read to help you understand the special needs these dogs may have.  http://nowisconsinpuppymills.com/mill-survivors.html If interested in adoption, the first step is filling out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog  If link isn't clickable, please copy/paste or visit http://www.bichonrescues.com.  Please note, filling out inquiry forms on Petfinder or Adoptapet and/or their application forms does not constitute an application for one of our dogs.  Priority in responding to inquires and applications is always to the applications filled out on our website, time constraints limit the number of other inquires we can reply to. We do our best to evaluate the dogs while they are with us, but they sometimes act different in the shelter environment than they do in a home.  Many times we do not know the actual breed/mix or age of the dog, in that case we use our best guess as to breed and age.   We are located in Mukwonago, WI.  Adopters must come to us, we do not ship our dogs.  Please do not apply for a dog until you are ready to adopt.  Once an application is approved you will be notified by email to make an appointment to meet the dog.  All dogs are seen by appointment only. The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $495 for most adults and up to $650 for puppies 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 (if old enough) and started on preventative, microchipped, and given a general wormer.  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 may chose to take an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training in Mukwonago, WI for $75 (up to $230 value).  You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, or Small Dogs Big Hearts.  You must register for the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee.  For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc  More important information: ***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, the adoption fee will be refunded minus $75 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.*** ***We do not show dogs 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/email until AFTER you have filled out an application.*** Bichon and Little Buddies is a State Licensed Rescue # 268555-DS November 21, 2024, 1:08 pm

My name is Ruby, I am a 6 years old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, tri-colors. I was rescued from the life of puppy mill in Missouri and traveled to Wisconsin to start a new life. I will pick a favorite person in the house to cuddle with and follow around. I am a very laidback and chill sweet lady. Peanut butter is my favorite treat! I am very treat motivated. I am around 25 pounds. I get along great with my foster family’s dogs and kids… No cats please as I like to chase them. I may have some sort of hearing loss/deafness. But that doesn’t affect my lifestyle. I am still working on my potty training. I can be left alone free roam of the house without destroying anything. So free roam home is preferred. Couch is my favorite place to crash and take a nap to snooze away. Fenced-in yard is required. No crating home is required as I spent my entire 6 years of life in crate so I would like to have my freedom. (Kennel to transport is reasonable.) I am still working on how to walk on the leash and I am learning pretty well! I am microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, heartworm tested, vet check, and comes with a CVI Health Certificate. Disclosures: However, while I was in foster, I developed an open pyometra few days later after the transport and needed an emergency spay surgery to save my life. I was not a good candidate for the spay surgery due to an enlarged heart but I survived! I also do have a grade 2 heart murmur but I will not need to be on medication unless I start showing symptoms. My Adoption Fee is $650.00 Fostered in Racine, WI If interested in adopting, please fill out the adoption application at this link: https://www.cognitoforms.com/TinyPawsSmallDogRescue1/AdoptionApplication Any questions, please reach out to foster mom Amber at this email: rescuemamaforlife@gmail.com We are a volunteer based, foster based nonprofit Rescue, please be patience to get responses. Thank You.

Hey there, do you like a challenge and have experience with abused dogs. If so, do we have the guy for you. Ferdinand is a 1-year-old, 9-pound, Cavalier Poodle mix. His is the worst horror story we have ever heard only because all of the horror started for him as a baby and didn't end until he was seven months old. By the time he came to Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue, his protective instinct was firmly in place. Ferdie still has trust issues especially with strangers. He has recently learned it is OK to be picked up. He runs away from strangers and will hide in the yard when someone comes and wants to interact with him. At night I am his best friend, and he comes up on the bed and snuggles right up against me and I can pet him all over. During the day he allows petting on his own terms, so he has made some progress since he has been here. He even allows family members who visit to pet him as long as they follow his rules, and he needs to be tranquilized for grooming, but we are working on that too. Ferdie is neutered, current with all vaccines and microchipped. Because he is a flight risk, he will require a fenced yard. He is pee pad trained and will use the doggy door to go outside. Ferdie is being fostered in Silver Lake Wisconsin. If you would like more information about Ferdinand, please contact Carol at 262-539-5262 or email carolpfeiffershihtzu@yahoo.com Adoption fee of $450 required.
