Skipper has been my love for almost ten years! Abandoned and tied to a shopping cart he had severe fears and fear aggression. He spent a few months on the road with a trainer...got vetted microchipped and groomed all though the rescue. March 1 2013 was his gotcha day and I am forever grateful to Melanie and Bichon Rescue. I always support their fundraising and contribute and when the time eventually comes I will turn to bichon rescue again.
I fostered a puppy for this rescue. I only had him for a week or maybe less. It was a great experience. I picked him up from his former owner and dropped him off with his new owners. It felt great to give him a safe space during the transition.
The heart and soul of this rescue, Melanie, helps unite rescues with the best homes. This non-profit truly functions as one who only spends collected funds on its dogs! I found my beautiful Molly through them and it was my pleasure to care for her from the age of 12 to 15.5!
I adopted three Bichon Frise from this rescue. They do a wonderful job from screening us and communicating the adoption process. Melanie Pellegrino is an amazing person, and has dedicated her life to helping these fluffs live healthy and better lives!
We just celebrated 6-months with George. All communication during the adoption process was thorough and timely. We knew upfront that he suffered from significant anxiety, and Melanie and the Rescue checked in with us almost daily to see how his transition was going and to offer advice. We still interact as George continues adjusting! The Rescue stays involved with adopters through robust social media and, as I experienced, direct communication even after an adoption has been completed. Theirs is a mission of the heart.
They made a sad family happy again by matching us up with our sweet Bichon frise rescue. They continue to find homes for these sweet dogs, even pulling some from NYC shelters. If a dog has medical issues, they take care of it BEFORE adopting them out and make sure they’re healthy. They’re saving lives!
Amazing organization!! I have been blessed to foster and adopt from them!! Melanie is amazing and sooo knowledgeable ! Highly recommend!
In 2017, We adopted a bonded pair of older female
dogs whose owner had died. Muffin was about 15 & Wynter was 12. Bichon Rescue had fostered them for over a month, had them vet checked & were able to give us a full picture od their personalities . They were a joy to have in our home. I know what a challenge it is to find homes for older pups much less a bonded pair. Wynter passed in June 2019 , and Muffin in June 2020. Knowing we had an "opening" in our pack, we were delighted to welcome anther of ther rescues,, an older bichon , Precious, age 13, last summer. She is a a terrific dog and we are so happy to have her. In short, this is a terrific local dog rescue, honesty managed & caring.
