Bichons and Buddies

Adoption Application

Bichons and Buddies wants to adopt Bichons, Bichon mixes and their canine buddies to a person or family that is/are willing to provide loving forever homes in which the dog’s health and well-being are taken care of responsibly.

We believe that adopting a dog is a commitment to the lifetime of your companion animal. We appreciate your willingness to complete this form so that we can learn more about you, your family and home environment. Because we take pet guardianship very seriously, we will carefully check your references. As a result, we hope that we will be able to place one of our dogs with you. Not every person who applies and desires to adopt a dog, however, will be qualified.

Please be brief with your answers to questions, as space is limited.

Thank You!
