Hi … my name is Sugar (and the name fits her perfectly)! Please take a minute to read my entire bio to find out everything you need to know about me.  If you think I might be the perfect pup for you, go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete the adoption application online.

Sugar is a wiggly, curious, cute, and sweet Bichon Frise girl who likes to play and cuddle and give kisses and eat treats!  This little girl came from a home with more than a few other dogs and at least one person who loved her.  True to her breed, Sugar is energetic, smart, and will be a great little companion … and she needs a loving pet parent who will give her rules and boundaries and lots of positive reinforcement!  Sugar is always ready to give and get love and attention, and there is a real smile on her face when she is happy!

Sugar would love to have a fenced yard to play in and maybe even another small dog to play with.  One of her least favorite things is being left alone!

Bichons require both daily/weekly brushing at home and at least monthly professional grooming to keep their coats healthy and mat-free. By the time they are a year old they have gotten their double coat, soft on top and coarse underneath, and these double coats mat easily and require daily combing or brushing. Once matted, those mats are painful to their skin, and shaving them is the only option – as you can see from Sugar’s pictures.

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Sugar picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed. Please feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.
