Meet Michael, the delightful Bichon Frise puppy who’s here to sprinkle joy into your life! 🎉 This bouncy little fella is a bundle of happiness, ready to captivate your heart and keep those smiles coming. Born in a commercial breeding facility, Michael hasn’t had the same experiences as a typical home-raised pup, but don’t you worry—he’s adjusting beautifully and is eager to blossom into a beloved family member! 🌸 Now, like any puppy bursting with energy and charm, Michael will need a structured and loving home. He craves that special combination of patience, love, and a little bit of training. 📚✨ Training isn’t just about learning commands; it’s an opportunity for you and your little buddy to bond and grow closer. Dive into training together and watch that connection strengthen! Michael comes fully vetted, which means he’s been neutered, received his age-appropriate vaccines, and is even microchipped. Just a heads up—the next rounds of vaccines will be on his adopter. His adoption donation is $1200. 💖 Remember, little dogs like Michael can live to be over 20 years old. So if you’re looking for a lifelong companion, he’s ready to commit for better or for worse! Now, let’s chat about something crucial: if you’re considering adopting a puppy under 12 months like Michael, it’s essential to have a flexible work schedule or someone available at home during the day. Puppies have tiny bladders and need to be let out often. Plus, socialization and bonding time with their humans are key! 🏡💞 If you’re juggling long work hours or a busy social life, then you might want to reconsider bringing a puppy into your life right now. To adopt Michael, you must live in the local Chicago metro area, and we do require home visits as part of our process. 🏠 If you think you’re a match made in puppy heaven, apply to adopt through the Buddy App! 📱🌟 And just a note for those who might have questions—our dedicated volunteers work full-time, so we do our best to respond to applications within 72 hours. Feel free to reach out via email if you have any inquiries. But please remember, there’s no one available to answer phone calls, so email is the way!
