More about Majestic Aventurine

About Me: Name: Majestic Aventurine Breed (or best guess): Mixed - possibly German Shepherd/Cattle Dog Approximate Age: 8 months Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 43 lb Adoption Fee: $495 each Requirements: Loving Family with patience Why In Rescue: Texas Transfer Profile:    Foster Update:   We have been calling him Draco and he responds to that really well! He is super curious about everything and loves to explore. He is a gentle giant (well maybe not as big as a giant) who loves cuddles and attention. He gets along with all dogs big and small. He is potty trained and kennel trained. He is very smart, he knows sit, and gets a routine down very quickly. Original profile:  Majestic Aventurine came to us from our Texas rescue partner where he was waiting for a rescue for months.  He is bigger than the usual dogs we rescue but he deserved a chance at life and his time was up in Texas.  He spent most of his time living in an outside kennel, so living inside is new to him.  He does alert bark to people he doesn't know, and needs a bit of time to become comfortable with new people, but he is a great dog who just needs a chance!  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.  For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc
