In 2007 I adopted my male Bichon from Small Paws, who was approx. 10 months old. The organization had him vetted, treated for heartworms, and fixed. Trooper was my first Bichon, and second rescue pup... which turned out to be the best companion. Trooper is now approx. 13 years old and healthy as a horse, excluding a little arthritis. Never had ANY health issues, not even an ear infection since I adopted him. We love him dearly, and I would def recommend adopting from Small Paws Rescue!! They really care about the rescues, and make the effort to place them in permanent, loving and safe homes.
Outstanding organization! Can't say enough about the tremendous and tireless work they do. I've had the pleasure of knowing them for about 25 years and want to say that Robin Pressnall and her amazing team are my heroes!! All donations are greatfully appreciated and helps with the huge daily expenses.

Small Paws Rescue is one of the best non-profit orgs that rescues primarily Bichon Frises or Bichon mix dogs. They are pro-active on shutting down puppy mills. They carefully vet all prospective clients and make certain the dogs that are rehomed go to a safe and loving environment. All of the dogs are seen by vets and are inoculated and spayed or neutered (if necessary) before being placed in their forever homes. SPR works off of donations and their vet bills are in excess of $10,000.00/mo. Robin Pressnall is the founder and Executive director and even though they have rescued over 7,000 Bichons, she remembers the story behind each one. I have been affiliated with them since 2004 and have followed their every move. Please donate to them if you can ... this is a cause well worth it!
