Is a rescue Bichon for everyone?
No. Just like owning and maintaining any dog (whether it is a Bichon or not), a “rescue” is not for everyone. If you are thinking about a rescue Bichon, you will be interviewed to determine that you have the time and ability to care for a Bichon, and in some cases be prepared to provide a “special” home. As indicated above, because of the circumstances under which they were obtained, rescue Bichons will not look like “show dog” Bichons and they could (although not always) require additional training and/or short-term or long-term health care. In some instances, it truly takes a “special” person and home for a rescue.
