About Me: Name: Bit o Honey Breed (or best guess): Bichon Approximate Age: 6 yrs Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 10 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Adopter willing to keep up with Honey's medical needs Why In Rescue: Owner surrender Profile: Bit O Honey was surrendered to us because she had a bladder stone that needed surgical removal. We had surgery done and the stone analyzed. It was a Struvite/Ammonium Urate stone. To best prevent a stone from reoccurring, a low protein diet is recommended. It is also suggested to have urinalysis done several times a year. She had a Embark panel done that shows she doesn't have the genetic variant that would require her to eat a low purine diet to prevent bladder stones. Now that you read the hard part, Honey is super loving - so much so that she whines if she can't see her person - so an apartment may not be the best home for her. She will be your little shadow if you let her. She would love someone home most of the time, and even better she would like to be the one and only dog. She would like a home without large dogs for sure. As long as she doesn't have a bladder infection, she is housetrained. Honey is as sweet as her name, so lets find her the home where she can get all the love she wants! 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.
