The mission of Small Paws® Rescue Inc., a charitable, Federal not-for-profit organization, is to rescue and supply non-aggressive Bichons, nationwide, with love, shelter, food, human companionship, and medical care, until permanent placement is secured into a pre-screened loving home, as our resources allow.

Their goal is to rescue as many Bichons in emergency situations as our organization is safely able to manage.

Bichon Rescue Brigade https://bichonrescuebrigade.org/ @BichonRescueBrigade
Bichon Rescue Brigade (BRB) is an all-volunteer group whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place Bichon Frise and Bichon Frise mixed dogs into responsible and caring homes – as well as providing a resource for public education on the breed and responsible dog ownership. They are located in Southern California and focus their efforts on dogs in need in our area. They do adopt nationwide, but ask adopters to travel to Southern California to meet and adopt their new pups.
