Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in Burlington, Wisconsin

** Canine companion required **Meet Rosalina, an 11 lb Shih Tzu mix that spent her life being used for breeding. Because of her background, she`s extremely shy around people and spends her day snuggled up with other dogs in a secluded area rather than join in the bustle of the household. She also takes her cues from the other dogs in her foster home and will need a canine companion in her forever home to show her the ropes. Rosalina will need a family that`s willing to give her extra time and patience to come out of her shell and show her how wonderful life can be as a spoiled pet. She`s not ready to be leashed and her family will need a way to let her do her business outside in a fenced in yard or puppy pen until she gets comfortable enough to be walked. If you`re willing to take a chance on Rosalina and give her the affection and patience she needs, you`ll be rewarded tenfold watching her come out of her shell and find joy and comfort in life. She`s already started opening up in her foster home and will tentatively approach foster mom for pets under the right circumstances!I am still new to rescue, please check back for updates as my foster family gets to know me.

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 https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ 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.

Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 Friends ! We’d like to introduce Levi ! Levi is approximately 3 months old and weighs just 3 pounds. He looks like a Shorkie (a mix of Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier). Levi is waiting in Raymond, WI for his new family to pick him up. 🥹Levi's affectionate nature shines through in his desire to be close to his human, often needing to be wrapped in a scarf snuggled against his human (like a newborn). His high-maintenance personality and tendency to squawk like a baby bird make it clear that he thrives on attention and companionship. He seems to have a strong bond with people, which can be both endearing and demanding. Potential adopters should be prepared for a lively and engaging relationship with him.While Levi is not yet housebroken and is still learning basic manners and obedience, his crate training suggests that he has some foundation to build upon. He is friendly towards kids, dogs 🐕 and cats 🐈 making him a great addition to a family with other pets. However, given his vocal nature and need for constant companionship, it would be best for him to be in a home where he won’t be left alone for extended periods, especially in an apartment setting.For anyone looking for a tiny companion with a big personality, Levi would be the perfect match. He may require a little extra patience and training, but his cuteness and affection are bound to bring immense joy to the right family. If you think you can provide the attention and love he craves, Levi might be the perfect furry friend for you!If interested in being considered to adopt Levi, please fill out an adoption application under the link below. He is current on his age appropriate shots, 💉 and will be microchipped in time for adoption. His adoption fee is $600 plus a $150 deposit toward his neuter. The $150 deposit may be refunded once proof of his timely neuter is given to Biggie Paws.https://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

ROCKFORD IL - I can't believe Emma is still waiting for her forever home!! She's been waiting here ever since July! Poor little Emma lived in a nasty puppy mill in Missouri for 6 years where she was forced to have litter after litter until she no longer produced large litters. Since she was no longer profitable she was at risk to be destroyed. That's how puppy mills work. Remember that whenever you see puppies in a puppy store! Emma is now safe and ready to start living her best life. Emma is only 6 years old and weighs a svelte 11 pounds. She's been spayed and her teeth are pearly white from her dental. Emma is working hard learning to trust humans and she's come a long way. She's treat motivated which helps in training. She will come up and take a treat from your hand but prefers to scoot away with it and eat it in private. She's doing well with house training. She uses a pee pad and also uses the doggie door to go outside to do her business. If you would like to make Emma your very own you can put your application in at www.tinypawssmalldogrescue.org Adoption fee is $450

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 $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 5, 2024, 8:05 pm
