Meet Lassie

About Me: Name: Lassie (Brown) Breed (or best guess): Australian Shepherd/Farm Dog mix Approximate Age: 9-12 weeks estimated on 6/24/25 Gender: F Approximate Weight: around 10 lb on 6/24/25 Adoption Fee: $600 each Requirements: Loving Family Why In Rescue: Owner Surrender from farm Profile:   Lassie is one of a litter of Farm Dog Mixes - possibly Australian Shepherd mixed with another farm dog.  They are approximately 9 weeks old but could be slightly older.  They have lived outside until now, so will have to learn all about home life.  They will need help with housetraining.  They are super adorable, and while some of the pups are a little shy they are getting more outgoing every day!  Apply for them now so you can get your new pup home as soon as possible! 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  

Adoption Process
Before meeting with a dog, a pre-adoption application must be completed. After the application is approved, a meeting is arranged between the adopter and the pet. An adoption contract is signed, adoption fee paid (generally $495), and the dog is able to go to the new home once all medical care is given. Dogs are fully vetted, including vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter, heartworm test, deworming, dental if needed, and other procedures needed by the particular dog. Adopters are required to return the dog to us if they are unable or unwilling to care for the dog in the future.
