Bichon Rescue Of Orange County

Rehoming, Rehabilitating, Sanctuary

We specialize in rehoming bichons and other small, hypoallergenic mixed breeds that can no longer be cared for by their family. We also rescue senior bichons and those needing special veterinary care from local animal shelters. In addition, all our pups are cared for and housed with foster families throughout Orange County. All our volunteers’ efforts are directed toward providing our pups a loving and safe environment, quality veterinary care, and nutritional support and placement with the best forever family possible.

Who We Are

About Bichon Rescue OC

Bichon Rescue OC is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Bichon Frises and similar breeds throughout Orange County. With 15 years of experience, we offer adoption, fostering, and educational resources to help every dog find a loving home.

Rescue & Rehabilitate

We provide safe haven, medical care, and rehabilitation for dogs in need.

Adoption & Fostering

We match dogs with loving families and offer foster programs to prepare them for adoption.

Education & Outreach

We educate the public on responsible pet ownership and the importance of animal rescue.


Rehoming Your Pet Can Be a Difficult Decision

We believe that rescue is best when unforeseen circumstances make it necessary to rehome a pet. Shelters serve their purpose, but it can be terrifying when a family pet who has known love and comfort is suddenly living in a shelter environment.  At Bichon Rescue of Orange County, all our pups live in loving foster homes, not cages. Our fosters work with their pups on behavioral problems or special needs, and they get to know their personalities so they can be rehomed with the perfect adopter. 

We know that having to rehome a pet can be heartbreaking. But if you are in this predicament and cannot find a friend or family member to take your pup, please consider a rescue. We believe dogs need homes, not cages, and we do our best for every pup lucky enough to take the title “BROC Babe.”

Make A Difference

Bichon Rescue of Orange County is a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) organization staffed solely by volunteers. We have NO payroll. Your donations pay for medical care, medications, food, and comfort items for the pups. For our pups that are unadoptable because of age, behavioral, or medical reasons, your donations pay for their care in our Sunsetter Sanctuary Program, where they will live their lives with a forever foster in love and comfort.

Adopt

By adopting a rescue dog instead of buying one, you are saving a life! Learn more about our available dogs for adoption and the process of welcoming one of them into your loving home. The kisses are free! 

Foster

Assisting a rescue organization can be truly rewarding. We are always looking for dog lovers who can help in various ways. Whether you are local to Orange County or not, there are many ways to help.

Volunteer

All our pups live in loving foster homes until we find the perfect forever home. The more fosters we have, the more pups we can rescue. Please consider opening your heart and home to a pup in need. 

Home & Happy

We strive to make a perfect match for every pup and adopter. Here are just some of our happy adoptions.

“I found my little boy through them [BROC]. He was two years old when I adopted him. After a year of intense training, we became Pet Partners visiting schools & nursing homes. My boy is The most loving sweetest dog I’ve ever had!

I am ready to find a little girl to love again, after losing one just recently. We need to be a complete family.”

“I am so grateful for Mitzi! She is the bestest, most beautiful, most loving doggie ever! …We just celebrated her Gotcha! Day on Dec 14th. She is the best decision I’ve ever made. I wake up laughing every day because of her Morning Attacks of Love and then spend all day laughing at her cuteness and snuggliness.”

Thank you and God bless all of you.”
