We specialize in rehoming bichons and other small, hypoallergenic mixed breeds who can no longer be cared for by their family. We also rescue senior bichons and those needing special veterinary care from local animal shelters.  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 placing them in the best forever family possible.

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 for 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 in 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 who can 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”.

Support The Pups

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.

Happy Adoptions

We strive to make a perfect match for every pup and adopter. Here are some kind words from happy adopters and their BROC Babes.

“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.”
