Bichon Frise

Many Tears Animal Rescue

21-03-26 Beautiful Bella has come to us from a breeder and is now looking for the special forever home she so deserves. At the moment, Bella is a worried little girl, but she is coming out of her shell each day. She is easy to handle and will quietly accept a gentle fuss. With time, patience and plenty of TLC, her true personality will begin to shine through.Bella will need a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience of ex-breeding dogs and who understand that she will need time to settle at her own pace. She must live with another kind and confident resident dog who can be her friend and help guide her as she learns about the world around her.Having never lived in a home before, Bella will need patient and understanding adopters who can gently introduce her to all the sights and sounds of home life. She will need support with learning all about new skills like house training and will need to practice walking on a lead in the safety of the garden before venturing any further.Bella is a sweet little girl who just needs someone to see past her worries and offer her the love and security she has been missing. In the right home, with kindness and reassurance, we know she will blossom into a devoted and loving companion.When Bella arrived with us she had some blood in her urine. She had a bladder scan and it was noted that her bladder was quite inflamed and had a polyp. She has been monitored for the past few weeks and no longer has blood in her urine and the latest scan shows that the inflammation is reduced and there was no visible polyp. She is currently being fed a urinary diet, which would need to be continued in her new home and her adopters and their vet would need to continue to monitor her and would need to be aware anything relating to bladder would not be coverable by insurance.

Apply to rehome me Buddy Bichon Frise / White Male 3 years, 10 months My reference is [DO23557-Dog] About me Woof Woof!! My name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old Bichon Frise. Sadly I have very limited sight which does not hold me back too much but I can get a little spooked if people or other dogs approach me too quickly. Apart from this I love my walks, cuddles and a good play. I would like to be the only pet in the home but I can have doggie friends out and about as long as they do not rush at me as that can scare me. I have been in rescue for quite a long time now as I will need to go to an experienced adult only home, I struggle to give up items that I find and I do not like sharing food. I would also need someone to be at home with me for most of the time because I get upset when left alone. It will take me time to settle into a new home but I will be worth it if you give me a chance. I am a sweet little boy who needs time to adjust and build trust with my new humans. Could you offer me the new home that I crave and need? Back to Dogs Looking for HomesAbout me Woof Woof!! My name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old Bichon Frise.

Paws and People

CP is a lovely boy who needs an extra special home. CP came into our care from one of the local pounds, due to having a sore leg they were unable to rehome him. He had xrays and assessments with our vet and also got a second opinion, but it was discovered that the bones in his leg was deformed and causing him great discomfort and due to him not using the leg the vets said the only option was amputation. He has recovered well from the surgery and it hasnt healed him back one bit. He is infact much happier and care free now. CP is good with other calm dogs in general, but he can find larger dogs overwhelming. Ideally he would love to be the only dog in the home as he doesnt always like to share the attention, he is absolutely fine with cats and could live with a cat no problem. We were told that CP is child friendly, but we think he would be best in a home with teens and over as he can get worried at times, and he can also bond hard with some people and not always want to share the attention (this has caused him to snap at some people on occasion). He spends most of his day currently snuggled up under the duvet in my mothers room. He has become her shadow and loves being close, often spending the night snuggled up right against her back or face. So im sure he will bond with the next person just as much and very quickly become your best friend. He hasnt shown signs of seperation anxiety. He is good in the house, but might need some house training as he settles into a new home and routine, he currently uses puppy pads if we are not home. He has never been noisy or destructive whilst within the home. He is also used to a crate, but we dont use it very often. A secure garden would be required for his safety.

12-01-26 Holiday originally came to us from a breeder a few months ago. She was adopted and found a lovely home, but sadly it wasn't the right match for her and the resident dog wouldn't accept her, so she is now back in our care.Holiday is a very scared girl who is very overwhelmed to find herself here and clearly hasn't had much socialisation before. She finds human interaction quite difficult at the moment and is very hand-shy, so she will need a patient and understanding home that can help her come out of her shell at her own pace. Holiday will run away from you when you enter her kennel and isn't keen on being picked up or handled. She finds this so scary, that if she feels like she is being pushed out of her comfort zone she can choose nip or bite, purely through fear. She did bite her previous adopter once when she was being handled as she became so worried.For this reason, Holiday will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult only home where there are no visiting children. She will need adopters who hav experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will let her settle in slowly at her own pace with no pressure or expectations.Holiday finds comfort and reassurance from the company of her canine friends and so she will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home to take her under their wing. This dog will need to allow her to snuggle up to them and will need to be happy for her to follow them around. A kind resident dog will be an important source of reassurance and companionship for her as she adjusts to her new life.Although she spent some time in foster and was adopted for a short period, she had never lived in a home before this, so Holiday will still need to learn all about home life and new skills like house training. She will also need to learn to walk on a lead and harness and will need to practice wearing these around the home and garden, once her confidence with handling has grown a little more. She will then need to practice walking around the garden until she is confident enough to venture further.Since arriving back with us, Holiday has started to make some more progress and will now take a treat from our hands as long as she has a doggy friend next to her for support. With time, love and patience she will start to leave her past behind her and will truly start to blossom. Holiday's journey won't be a short one, but it will be so worth it when you see her tail wag for the first time or when she first willingly accepts some fuss and attention. In the right home, she will thrive, so please don't keep her waiting too long.Holiday has been given the Gift of Life by Ellie Worron

Mushroom is a gentle little girl who came to us from a breeder and has already come such a long way from the very nervous dog who first arrived. Life was overwhelming at first, but with time, patience, and kind care, she is slowly learning that the world is not such a scary place after all, it’s full of tasty treats, soft toys, and people who want to help her feel safe.Maisie is still a shy and sensitive soul, but she’s growing in confidence each day. She’s much more comfortable being handled now and is rarely making the wrong decision when picked up. She has discovered that treats are wonderful and will now take them gently from her foster carers’ hands, even giving them her best “Oliver look” as if to say, “Please sir, can I have some more?”She is enjoying the comforts of home life and has made great progress with her house training, with only the occasional mishap. She sleeps soundly through the night, often curling up in her favourite spot, the dog chair, where she can watch the world go by in peace.Maisie has also started to show her playful side. She’s still learning how to play properly and sometimes gets a bit carried away with her toys, but she’s learning that a good chew on a nylon bone is a much better idea!She doesn’t yet walk on a lead, but now that she’s more accepting of being handled, her foster family have begun to gently introduce her to wearing a harness. As with everything in her journey, Maisie will take this next step at her own pace.Maisie will need a calm, patient, adult-only home with adopters who understand nervous dogs and can give her the time and space she needs to continue building her confidence. Mushroom will need a confident female dog that is larger than her or a male resident dog in the home, as she takes great comfort from canine company and looks to them for reassurance and guidance.

Adopters will also need to be mindful of her grooming needs as part of her ongoing care.This sweet girl has already shown such courage and determination. With gentle handling, understanding, and love, Maisie will continue to blossom into the affectionate and loyal little companion she’s destined to be.

Nuzzle is a truly gentle, special little girl who has already come so far on her journey. She originally came to us from a breeder and, after a short adoption, sadly found her way back to the rescue as it was not the right fit for her. While in the home, she did make progress, but she was fearful of the man in the household and reacted out of fear on two occasions, showing that she needs very understanding, experienced adopters.When Nuzzle first arrived with us, she was an extremely nervous and flighty soul, spending most of her time hiding at the back of her kennel, too scared to join in or even accept touch. The world felt overwhelming, being in the yard, meeting people, or simply being handled was terrifying for her, and she lived in a constant state of panic and flight.Since returning to the rescue, the transformation in Nuzzle has been truly heart‑warming. With patience, kindness, routine, and consistency, she has slowly begun to blossom. She now approaches her carers for gentle fusses and, when she feels safe, will even ask for more. She enjoys being groomed, moves confidently to and from the yard as part of her daily routine, and is learning to walk on a harness, making steady, positive progress every day.She shares her kennel with other dogs of a similar size and gets along beautifully with them, sharing food, curling up together in bed, and finding huge reassurance in their company. She especially enjoys sharing her big donut bed with her best friend Denise, often snuggled up together under the heat lamp, enjoying their dental sticks and quiet time, which perfectly sums up the calm, cosy life Nuzzle loves.Nuzzle thrives when she has another kind, confident dog by her side and will need a resident dog, her size or larger, in her new home for emotional support and confidence-building. However, she will need a home with only one resident dog as she can be quite protective, and builds bonds with her furry-friends. She is not a dog for busy or noisy environments and will need a calm, quiet, adult-only home with experienced adopters who understand ex-breeding dogs and are prepared to be patient, gentle, and consistent, allowing her to progress at her own pace.Despite her fears, Nuzzle is a sweetheart who adores comfort, routine, and affection. She enjoys cosy beds, soft fuss, tasty treats, and the safety of familiar people and dogs. She has previously shown that she can be fully housetrained in a home environment, although she may need gentle reminders when settling into a new one.From a medical point of view, Nuzzle has a Grade 1–2 heart murmur which does not currently require treatment but should be monitored by a vet. She has had two teeth removed when she was spayed, and she also has a fatty lump on her side which currently requires no action.Nuzzle has already achieved so much and continues to surprise everyone with her courage and gentle nature. She has incredible potential and, in the right home with the right support, she will continue to grow in confidence and trust. She is a quiet, affectionate companion who simply wants a safe, loving place where she can feel secure and cherished.With the right family who will celebrate every small step and understand her past, Nuzzle will flourish beautifully and become a deeply rewarding companion.
