About Me:
Name: Marigold
Breed (or best guess): Chihuahua/Beagle/Pug type mix
Approximate Age: 6 months
Gender: Female
Approximate Weight: 7 lb
Adoption Fee: $495
Requirements: Patient, loving family
Why In Rescue: stray/lost dog
Profile: Meet Marigold - a sunshiny little pup who is learning that the world can be kind. Marigold is happy, playful, and affectionate once she feels safe. She loves toys and is wonderfully entertaining because she can happily play independently for stretches of time. At bedtime, her favorite place is right beside you, sharing your pillow. She can be a little cautious with new people and sudden movements startle her. If someone reaches for her too quickly she may submissively pee. She does best when allowed to approach at her own pace rather than being reached for. With patience, gentle handling, and encouragement, her confidence continues to grow every day. This smart girl has already learned how to manage stairs and is making progress with housetraining. Like many puppies her age, she'll need consistency and routine as she continues learning. Marigold would thrive with a patient family who understands that building trust takes time and kindness. A family with no children, or only older children would be best, as fast movements from children could be too much for her to handle at first.
We don't have a background or history about Marigold as she was taken to Milwaukee Animal Control as a found dog. She is being spayed and having her cherry eye repaired on 5/27, so will be able to go home after that.
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.
