About Me:
Name: Phoebe

Approximate Age: 11 yr
Gender: Female
Approximate Weight: 65 lb
Adoption Fee: $495
Requirements: Loving family willing to keep up with her allergy shots
Why In Rescue: Owner Surrender
Profile:
Phoebe was well loved by her owner but they were no longer able to care for her. She is a super sweet girl but has a number of medical conditions as well as being a senior citizen. She has needed allergy shots her whole life, and needs to get them monthly to keep her from itching and keep her skin healthy. She also had tick diseases, ear infections and a bladder infection when she came to us which are currently being treated. We also had to have surgery done to remove her eyes as she was already blind and had conditions which made her eyes painful. Now that she is just about healed from that she is doing much better! Since she was already blind, she doesn't act any different other than the eye pain is gone. While she isn't quite ready for adoption, we are accepting applications now so once she is ready to go we can have a great home waiting for her. She is kennel trained, housetrained (when she doesn't have a bladder infection), walks on a leash, and really wants to be loved.
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.
