More about Paru Tony

About Me: Name: Paru Tony Breed (or best guess): Mix - maybe Russell Terrier mix Approximate Age: 6 yr Gender: male Approximate Weight: 17 lb Adoption Fee: $495 Requirements: Loving Family, only pet Why In Rescue: Transfer from Texas Rescue Profile:  Paru Tony is an adorable shorthair mix.  He is friendly and playful and a favorite where ever he goes.  He has been good with both people and dogs but should be fed separately at least for now.  He is hoping to find a family of his own soon!  We don't know about his housetraining as most of the dogs that come to us from Texas spent most of their time outside before getting care for by a rescue group. What the caretakers have to say about Tony:  Tony is a calm, kind and affectionate dog who loves spending time with people.  Tony is a mostly quiet, low-energy dog who needs a moderate amount of exercise.  He likes to be outside for periods of time and he is leash trained.  Unfortunately, he can become resource protective especially with food and especially doesn't care for other male dogs (at least at the shelter). What a temporary foster had to say about Tony:  Tony is one of the sweetest, calmest, most adaptable dogs I've had in my home.  Anything you do is fine.  He loves to play, lie around, go for walks, whatever.  He does understand "no".  He was a little pushy when I was eating, but soon gave up.  He was great at my home, and when he was brought back to the shelter he just went right back to his kennel and played with his toys.  He can adapt to the situation he is put in. If you are looking for a great dog to be the one and only in your home, check out Tony! 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.  For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc
