Anyone who has owned a Bichon Frise can attest to the amazing joy they give to their human and canine companions.

They seem to have one sole purpose in life: to love and be loved by all. To know a Bichon is to love a Bichon … it’s just that simple.

💔 Isa, one of our long time foster mamas, is facing a difficult time. Yesterday, she tragically lost her home in the Altadena fires.

Despite the chaos, Isa’s first thought was for her beloved Bichon, Buddy, and her foster dog, Mimi. She quickly evacuated with them, but in the rush, she could only grab essentials for Buddy and Mimi. She though it was a temporary evacuation and didn’t grab much for herself.

Isa and Buddy are in URGENT NEED OF TEMPORARY HOUSING. 🏡

How YOU Can Help- please SHARE post:
* If you have a spare room or can offer temporary housing for Isa and Buddy, please contact us immediately and we will connect you.
* Donate: Every contribution, big or small, will help Isa rebuild her life and provide for her furry family. We will forward it to Isa.

💕Gotcha Freddie, now Kona 💕Kona is going to have an amazing life with Denise and Raul. He’s even going to be in their upcoming wedding.

Freddie came to us 10/27 from Carson shelter. He’d been hit by a car, with grease marks on his coat. He had a fractured vertebrae but thankfully after weeks of medical treatment and care he’s fully recovered. Denise was following his story and fell in love so applied to adopt. We are so excited for Kona.

never seems like enough for the jobs our fosters do. and her Mom both stepped up when we were desperately looking for a foster so we could save Freddie. We are go very thankful for all they did for Freddie and so many others (our sweet Alfred too)! Thank you .animal.hospital for providing such good care of our Freddie. 🐾

Happy life sweet Kona.🩷

Brigade we need DONATIONS for Tate ❣️

Little Tate STILL is receiving 24/7 hospitalization. He was released to go home Saturday but quickly declined and was re-admitted Sunday. Tonight (Tuesday) he is still in an oxygen tent and on antibiotics.

This morning we were all encouraged as he was barking, more energetic and had an appetite! This afternoon his care team started to wean him off of the oxygen and his breathing became labored. He’s tiny little boy is fighting pneumonia along with a viral infection.

His Dr said he is going to make some very happy when he’s adopted as he is such a sweet sweet little boy.

Adopt Me Ollie 🎃👻☠️😈

Age: ~4 years
Weight: 16 lbs
Breed: MaltiPoo (we think) non-shed
Location: Reseda CA

Ollie LOVES his person! He is a happy sweet pup in their company. He’s a great companion who will lie quietly all day. He also loves to explore! He is house, crate and leash trained. Ollie does not appear to have been well socialized and has been working with a trainer for the past few weeks to learn how to meet new people. He is making great progress. He has a routine that works really well for him. He’s looking for an adult-only adopter who is comfortable setting rule and boundaries with Ollie and someone committed to the guidelines the trainer has established for him.

✨ Welcome Pax to our BRB Family! ✨This sweet boy has had a tough few weeks, but we're promising him a brighter 2025! 💔 Yesterday at the shelter, we witnessed a heartbreaking scene: more people surrendering pets than adopting. We met Pax, a tiny poodle mix, just 8 pounds, lost and confused.He was adopted on Christmas Eve, only to be returned the very next day because he was "too much to handle." 💔 Instead of spending another night in a cold kennel, Pax is now safe and sound, snuggled up in a warm cuddle bed.We named him Pax, meaning "peace," and we're committed to giving him the love and peace he deserves. ☮️Our shelters are overflowing. Please consider adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating. Every act of kindness makes a difference.To support Pax and other animals in need, please consider donating .#spayneuter #makeadifference #adoptdontshop #petsareforever #rescue #volunteer

💙💙 Brigade Riley Needs Our Help - His family needs a temporary spot for him to stay for a couple of months. He’s a very good and well behaved boy. He is currently in North San Diego but a temp foster anywhere in So Cal would be a tremendous help to Riley and his human. Riley is a 6 year old bichon who weighs 24 lbs. He does not shed. He’s house trained, great on a leash, good at home when his human is at work. He’s good with other dogs, but has been a solo pup with his family. Riley is located in Oceanside CA. He is healthy, neutered and current on his vaccines. PLEASE Contact Us if you have a spot for Riley for 2-3 months. Email [email protected] or Private Message

Welcoming Rolex, now Dex, to our BRB Family 💙 This sweet boy came into the shelter on 8/30. Yesterday his stray hold was up and we were there for him. He came in so very matted, with large hot spots down the middle of his back with a heavy maggot infestation. Thank you to the shelter for taking care of him during this hold. Under all of those mats, is a very sweet and gentle boy. He was so excited to jump into his foster Mom’s car! Thanks you Lisa for the freedom 🚗 and for fostering him. #A2160305

Welcoming Lady, now Lilly, to Bichon Rescue Brigade. This sweet-senior came into the shelter as a stray. Per the shelter she was “trembling, crying & nervous, struggling to jump into arms or off the table” 💔 She is vision impaired (ocular abnormalities), was covered in fleas, sores and saliva stains on her back end. Her teeth and mouth are in horrible condition. Thank you to Elaine for rearranging her day to give Lilly her freedom ride and for fostering her! Lilly is settling in to her foster home well, she LOVES her new bed and per Elaine “she knows she is safe and already loved” 💕 Today she will see a vet, along with her other medical needs, she has started coughing 😩 stay tuned for updates on our precious Lilly.
