Wheaten Terrier puppies and dogs in Mukwonago, Wisconsin

Marvin is a beloved pet. It breaks our heart to even think of doing this, but we are kind of at our wits end. While he is very good with people and loves people, he often jumps because he gets excited. We have a grandson and another grandchild on the way and it's almost impossible for Marvin to calm down when the child is in the house. He just wants to lick The child all over and well that's cute, the parents don't appreciate it at all. We believe that he will be better with the baby when he is a toddler, but we have our grandson over all the time and it's very stressful. In addition, we really have Failed to give him the exercise he needs and he will often mark his territory if he doesn't go out. This has been stressful and I hope this doesn't deter someone from taking this wonderful wonderful dog, but we just haven't had the patience to do the proper training. We have a lot of guilt over this but at this point, we think it's best if he goes to a new home that can di What we can't.

About Me: Name: Sharpie Breed (or best guess): Terrier Mix - Possibly Schnauzer/Wheaten Terrier Approximate Age: 5 months Gender: M Approximate Weight: 20 lb Adoption Fee: $600 Requirements: Loving family willing to train a puppy Why In Rescue: Transfer from Texas Profile:  Sharpie (now Stanley) was adopted and returned because he wasn't a good fit for the condo his adopter lived in.  He is a great pup.  Working on housetraining, loves going for walks, playing and being with his people.  If interested in this fun guy, fill out the pre-adoption application and we can set up a time for you to meet him. Sharpie and all his friends came from a high kill shelter in Texas.  We wanted these pups to have a chance at a great life so they made their way to WI and now are looking for loving families.  They are playful pups, some are a little shy but will warm up quickly.  Because we are a shelter facility, they aren't use to walking on a leash and will need work with housetraining, but the effort you put into the puppy will be well worth the effort.  We have no history so don't know the breed mix or how large the pups will get once they are full grown.  We are estimating them to be around 4 months in the beginning of December.  If interested in a pup, please fill out the application at www.bichonrescues.com and we can set up a time for you to meet the available puppies.  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.  We do not know if the puppies will be non-shed, low shed, or normal shedding.  Most of the pups have a coarse coat like terriers now and one has a softer coat. 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 $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 January 25, 2025, 2:54 pm
