Story
Meet Klaus! Klaus is a charming 3-year-old Dachshund/Pug mix with a heart as big as his adorable face! This sweet boy was rescued from a rural shelter, where he faced some tough times, including being heartworm positive. But thanks to loving care and treatment, Klaus is now happy, healthy, and ready for his forever home! Klaus is a total people-lover—he thrives on attention and will happily soak up all the pets and belly rubs you have to offer. He is good with other dogs of all sizes but prefers calmer dogs that are his size. One of his absolute favorite things in the world? Car rides! Whether it’s a trip to the pet store or a scenic drive, Klaus is always up for an adventure. Klaus is located in Texas. His adoption fee $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip and neuter. If you are interested in adopting Klaus please complete an adoption application at the link below.

About Me: Name: Rex and Willie Breed (or best guess): Dachshund and Dachshund-Poodle Approximate Age: 3 and 2 Gender: Male Approximate Weight:10-15 lb Adoption Fee: $900 both Requirements: Loving family for both dogs Why In Rescue: Owner Surrender Profile:  Rex and Willie were surrendered by their family when they were moving to a new home.  They are nice little dogs just unsure why they are in a shelter instead of their home.  According to their owners they need work on housetraining.  They sleep in kennels at night, walk well on a leash, and are fine being left home alone.  They have been exposed to teenage children and have been good with other dogs.  We are hoping to find a home for them together if at all possible.  If interested in this cute duo, please fill out the pre-adoption application at www.bichonrescues.com. 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 $100 (up to $260 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 $100 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 March 20, 2025, 4:10 pm

Story
About Me: Name: Eauntie Huni Breed (or best guess): Dachshund Mix Approximate Age: 13 years Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 13 lb Adoption Fee: $400 Requirements: Loving Family Why In Rescue: Transfer Profile:  This cute girl came to us from our rescue partner in Texas to give her a chance at a home.  Her owner passed away and she went into another home, and then her new owner had to go into assisted living and couldn't keep Huni any longer.  She sadly gave her up hoping she could get a great home in WI.  She is in a foster home now, but not real thrilled about the number of active dogs in the home.  She would prefer a quieter home where she is the only dog or maybe another older dog.  If interested in this sweet old girl, fill out the pre-adoption application at www.bichonrescues.com so we can set up a time for you to meet her.   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.

Story
We've had Lance since he was a baby. He is a big cuddler and likes to chase after toys indoors. He is a good walker, but doesn't like to go very far. Given the breed's potential for back problems we have used ramps in our house and have been careful about picking him up and down. We have a newborn and Lance unfortunately has had some minor bites in the past. We attempted training and medication and he had a long stretch without bites or aggressive behavior but unfortunately still can be aggressive around food. We are very sad we are unable to keep him in our home. Lance also does not get along well with most other dogs. He would be best in a home without kids or other dogs. He is an excellent work from home companion and is pretty lazy by nature.

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs!To sponsor my trip to WI, go to  www.tailwaggers911.com  for more info! ***I am able to go home to my forever family right off of transport! You get a 5 day trial with me in your home. Put in your application soon!*** Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on March 28th and arrive on March 29th, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!!   Updated: 3/16/2025 Dog Name: Waffles Sex: Male Estimated Breed Mix: Dachshund/Terrier mix Approximate Age: 5 months Approximate Weight: 9 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered Description: This little boy is CUTE. He is photogenic, loves to play and is a puppy with a wonderful personality. He is dog and kid friendly, and didn’t mess with the resident cat when found! Waffles is working on potty training and is 100% a good boy! Adoption Fee: $550We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. March 16, 2025, 11:43 pm
