PRE-ADOPTION APPLICATION FOR A RESCUE:We think small dogs are the best pets in the entire world, however, they are not for everyone. We therefore request you complete the below application and answer some questions to help us determine what dog will best fit your particular needs. When looking for a home for our rescues we try hard to make sure that this is the last placement he will ever have. No one wants to be bounced from place to place - we all want a secure loving home! Small dogs are bred solely for companionship, therefore they need an environment that will nurture them with lavish praise and attention. They do well with children, however children need to realize that little dogs need to be treated carefully as they do break! Bichons & Shih Tzu require frequent grooming and you must consider this in your monthly budget. Rescue dogs come from various sources, and by nature a rescue will require more than the average attention to fill his needs. After reading all of the above, if you still wish to adopt a rescue, please give us all the information you can to help us make the perfect match for both you and a rescue.
