Meet Bert

About Me: Name: Bert Breed (or best guess): Shih Tzu - Poodle Approximate Age: 2 1/2 months Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 5 lb at 2 1/2 months Adoption Fee: $550  Requirements: Adopter willing to deal with puppy behaviors Why In Rescue: Release from a commercial breeder Profile:  Bert was surrendered by a commercial breeder because he has a condition called cherry eye.  While we can fix this, his vet appointment isn't until October, so we are looking for an adopter to foster him until his surgery.  After surgery, his adoption would be finalized.  Because of this we need to have someone within an easy driving distance of Mukwonago WI so little Bert can come back to the shelter for vaccines and then back for surgery.  Bert is a baby, so needs to learn all things every puppy has to learn like housetraining and walking on a leash.  If interested in fostering and then adopting Bert, please fill out the pre-adoption application. 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. 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 $200 - $550 depending on the age of the dog, 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  

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.
