Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in Beloit, Wisconsin

Dusty was found in horrible condition while at a neighboring animal control where he completed his stray hold. An emergency grooming took a very long time and was one of the worst cases the groomer every saw. Dusty tolerated the grooming well and was a whole new dog after he was done! Quite the character, Dusty will require a fenced in yard. He is quite active and small dog friendly. We do not recommend small children. As a 1 yr. old dog, we are looking for a family for Dusty to grow up with. Dusty is pad trained and partially house trained. He is not good with children as he does have some resource guarding.Please submit an application at pawshs.org and NOT a Petfinder inquiry as they may not be answered due to the volume of these inquiries received.

Meet Mulan! Age: Senior Weight: 15lbs Breed: Shih tzu Good with: cats and small dogs (no kids) House trained: yes Crate trained: no, does not require a crate when left alone Special needs: will need drugs for grooming Mulan is a study in opposites. On one hand, she is a sweet, well-mannered girl who is ready for her forever home. On the other hand, she is a demon dog if you try to touch her face, cut her nails, or groom her. So like 90% of the time, she is practically perfect in every way. It is the other 10% of the time that you might want to invest in some Trazodone and a good pair of welders gloves. Possibly a hockey mask also. (Thank goodness Grinch feet are cute!) She loves to sit on the couch with you, or to sit on your lap or at your feet. She is a great leash walker and enjoys walkies, but only til she has pooped, then it’s time to turn around and go home. She loves ear rubs as well..... but make sure you define the difference between ears and face. Again, Trazodone, welding gloves, hockey mask. At the end of the day, this little girl will be a lovely companion for anyone who has patience (and drugs) for grooming. While we joke about her being a demon dog, it is very much situational and she is a wonderful dog much of the time. There is a little bit of resource guarding, but when you have had your life uprooted, you do tend to want to keep special and familiar things for yourself. This is an easily mitigated thing. Could you give this little girl the best Christmas gift ever... her very own home for the holidays?

Hi, my name is Bibble, I am a super special girl. I was a puppy mill breeder release which means I was used for my babies and had very little contact with the outside world. Jrs was a bit surprised when they realized that I arrived pregnant. I quickly went to a foster home where I did an amazing job taking care of my babies. They are all adopted and now it`s my turn to find my family. I have a special bond with my foster mom, and I tolerate my foster dad but due to my past I struggle with new people. Depending on the situation I tend to either run away or bark to let you know I am uncomfortable. I am looking for a special connection with a patient person that will keep me happy and safe! I am good with dogs and cats; in fact a confident doggy friend might help me out of my shell!You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JrsPupsNStuffInc Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $650All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

My name is Francis. My foster mom says I`m adorable. I think I am too! :) I have puppy energy, but I`m very smart. I am doing good learning potty training, I understand `off`, though when I`m excited I tend to forget. I`ve also learned `no bite` and `no bark`, though when I`m too excited those are also forgotten, but once I calm down, I remember them all. I have caught on to things very quickly. I live with lots of dogs and puppies in my foster moms house, and I am super good about being respectful to them, as well as sharing and playing appropriately. How can you look into my eyes and not fall in love instantly? I doubt you could. I double dog dare you to try!Adoption fee: $700All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

Hi, Malcolm here. I am living in a foster home and am doing very well. I am learning to go potty outside. I`ve learned `off`, `no bite`, and `no bark`. I`m a little shy at first, but once I know that you`re all about love, I will sit as absolutely still as I can so that you won`t have any reason to put me down, ever. No, I really mean never ever put me down. I just want all of the snuggles that I`ve never been given but really, really want!!!! I am also good with other dogs, there are a number of dogs and puppies at my foster mom`s home. It`s really nice here, but she doesn`t have enough hands to pet us all as often as I want. A furever home of my own with someone to love me would be super duper!Adoption fee: $700All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

About Me: Name: Rexie Breed (or best guess): Shih Tzu mix Approximate Age: 3 years Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 14 lb Adoption Fee: $400 ($450 - $50 sponsored) Requirements: another small dog, fenced yard, patient adopter Why In Rescue: puppy mill surrender Profile:   Rexie came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use her for breeding.  She is a very shy girl and will need time and patience to understand and enjoy human companionship.  She is happy when she is in her kennel run with another dog, but very unsure of human touch.  She does need to have another dog in her new home to make her comfortable.  A secure fence will be needed as well.  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 $450 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 $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 December 31, 2024, 6:23 pm
