About Nimble Nimble is a petite little lady with a big love for people. Found as a stray, her exact history is a mystery, but one thing is very clear: she thrives on human companionship. Nimble's favorite place in the world is right next to her person - even better if that place happens to be your lap. She also enjoys being carried and will happily settle in for some quality cuddle time.

Personality & Temperament People-Oriented: Nimble prefers human company over canine companions. Lap Lover: If you're sitting down, chances are she's trying to sit with you. Affectionate: Sweet, gentle, and happiest when close to her person. Expressive: When left alone, Nimble may voice her displeasure. She doesn't destroy or get into trouble - she simply lets you know she'd rather not be alone.

Other Pets Although Nimble currently lives in a home with other dogs, she wants nothing to do with them and can be aversive toward canine companions. She would do best as an only dog in a calm, low-key home where she can soak up all the attention. She now is starting to play with another of the Chihuahuas in the foster home, so could be a companion to another dog.

Ideal Home Nimble would thrive in a home where: She can be the center of attention Her person is home often or enjoys carrying her along There are no other dogs, or very careful management is in place Her adopter enjoys a cuddly, devoted companion

The Perfect Match If you're looking for a tiny shadow who will follow you from room to room, warm your lap, and remind you just how wonderful it is to be loved by a small dog with a big heart, Nimble may be your perfect match.

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.
