Why In Rescue: Texas Transfer
Profile:
Magical Sapphire came to us from our Texas rescue partner where she was waiting for a rescue for months. She is bigger than the usual dogs we rescue but she deserved a chance at life and her time was up in Texas. She spent most of her time living in an outside kennel, so living inside is new to her. She does alert bark to people she doesn't know, and needs a bit of time to become comfortable with new people, but she is a great dog who just needs a chance!
What the caretakers have to say about Sapphire: Sapphire is an elegant dog with a great independent personality. Despite her nature of being cautious and timid with unknown people, she is friendly and really enjoys spending time the the people she knows. She is leash trained and likes walks but needs encouragement and reassurance if the weather isn't nice. Sapphire gets along with other dogs and often spends time outside with her canine friends. She is an energetic dog, but she also likes to have her rest time. Some additional training is recommended to help her adjust to a new environment. This affectionate and playful girl is hoping she will find a home soon.
Don't delay in filling out the pre-adoption application so you can meet one of these cute dogs!
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 put the needs of each particular dog first, so it is nothing personal if we determine a specific dog isn't suitable for your home or living situation.
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.
