Adoption Application

Very Important!!!

Please read completely before proceeding.

You must have chosen a specific dog, BY NAME, to put on your application. If you haven't chosen a specific dog by name, from our Pet Finder and Adopt-a-Pet pages, we are unable to process your application.

Please read the Bio information thoroughly for each dog and make sure that you meet the qualifications that are required for that dog, before applying.

After 25 years, we are known for matching the right dog with the right forever home. We are hoping to save your time and ours, as we continue to rescue Bichons in need.

Thank you for contacting Small Paws® Rescue! Our goal is to adopt loving Bichons, to responsible, loving, permanent homes. We would appreciate you filling out this form, so we may find out more about you and your family, for your sake and of COURSE, the dog's!

Please be sure to answer all of the required responses (designated by an * asterisk) or your application won't make it through to us.

The Small Paws® Rescue adoption fee for a dog under 8 years old is $250 which includes vaccinations, heartworm check, teeth cleaning (if needed) and altering (if over 6 months of age). The adoption fee for dogs over 8 years old is $200.

Small Paws® Rescue, as always, is committed to rescuing Bichons and placing them in loving homes.

If your application is received by our server, you'll receive an auto-responder letting you know it was received.

If you didn't fill in all of the required responses, after you click submit, you will be directed to the items you missed.
