Profile: Savory Oreo is a cute little girl. She is friendly dog who has been good with sharing her food and toys with others. She has been good with both people and dogs. She is hoping to find a family of her own soon! We don't know about her housetraining as most of the dogs that come to us from Texas spent most of their time outside before getting care for by a rescue group.

UPDATE: While at the shelter Oreo does well with people and other dogs, unfortunately when she gets into a home situation she bonds fast to her person. She then becomes possessive of her person (at least at first), and wants to keep people and other animals away from her person. So we are looking for a home with no other pets and someone willing to work with her on her guarding of her person.

What the shelter staff says about Oreo:

Oreo is not only adorable, but one of the friendliest dogs at the rescue towards people. She's affectionate, playful and loves walks! She really enjoys spending time with people, sometimes just being with them or with activities, Oreo brings a real sense of joy. Unfortunately, she is often attention-seeking, resource-guarding and overprotective of people, which leads to her being unfriendly towards other dogs. She will make the ideal companion to people who are looking to have one dog only at their home.

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 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.
