About Bj
BJ is a 5-year-old Bichon Frise currently going through heartworm treatment and will need to return to NMDR in Peyton, CO for scheduled medical visits. Adopters must be dedicated to strictly following his treatment plan, as outlined by the rescue's veterinarians, to give BJ the best chance at a full recovery. BJ weighs about 18 pounds and is on the timid side—he gets nervous in new situations and around unfamiliar people. He's still learning how to feel safe in the everyday world. A calm, patient adopter who can move at BJ’s own pace will provide the stability he needs to build his trust and confidence. BJ is already on anxiety medication, which helps take the edge off as he adjusts to his environment. With steady reassurance, gentle handling, and consistency, he should gradually become more secure. He would benefit from a committed adopter who understands the need for slow trust-building. Having a calm, confident dog in the home could also help BJ settle in. A meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to ensure a good fit and support a smooth transition. BJ will do best with older children or adults who can be sensitive to his needs. He may require extra patience when it comes to skills like house training and leash walking, but most Bichon Frises adapt very well over time. If you’re looking for a deeply meaningful adoption journey, BJ’s rehabilitation offers a chance to make a big difference in his life. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
