Bichon Rescue Brigade

At 15 years old, Bella found herself surrendered to the East Valley shelter, her whole world changing overnight. But this sweet senior girl’s next chapter turned out to be a beautiful one. 🥹

Bella is officially ADOPTED! 🏡🤍 Her foster Dee . fell completely in love and knew she was already home.

Her adopter says Bella is the sweetest girl and that everywhere they go, people comment on what a joy she is to be around. She loves everyone she meets, and now she gets to spend her golden years knowing just how loved she is. ❤️

Huge thank you to Lenka Svobodova for giving Bella her freedom ride, GJ for generously sponsoring her medical care, Monica for temp fostering, and Dee . for opening her home and heart to Bella ✨

From being surrendered to the North Central shelter to finding a family of her very own…our sweet Sophie is officially home with yingzhizz. 🥹🏡

Her new family gave her the perfect new name: Momo. And naturally, there was only one appropriate way to celebrate…they ordered some momo! 🥟

Momo’s uncertain shelter days are behind her, and we’re so happy she gets to spend her next chapter loved, spoiled, and right where she belongs.

Happy forever, Momo! 🤍

Huge thank you to charmaine ayriel for giving Momo her freedom ride, and to Melissa Drobis for fostering her and helping her get to her forever home.

Sweet Toby is looking for a Southern California foster home! He’s currently in Palmdale, but transport can be arranged to get him to his foster.

Toby is 5 years old and just 14 lbs…a little guy who simply needs a safe, loving place to land while we get to know him and help him find his forever family.

Can you foster Toby? Please DM us. If you’re new to BRB, our volunteer application is linked in our bio.

Gizmo came to BRB from the Palmdale shelter after being surrendered by his owner and watching his brother get adopted without him. Now, his turn has finally come. 🥹

His new parents, Kari and Tedd, previously adopted their dog Duncan from BRB and sadly lost him a few months ago. When they were ready to open their hearts to another pup, they fell in love with Gizmo…so much so that they flew down from Washington to meet him and bring him home! ✈️🏡

Now named Walter “Wink” Barkindale, he settled right in and immediately started playing with one of Duncan’s old toys. We’d like to think Duncan would approve.

Happy forever, Walter! We couldn’t have dreamed up a sweeter next chapter for you.

A huge thank you to for fostering Walter and helping him get here, and congratulations to kari_popcorn + Tedd on your newest family member! 💙

Harley is a fun, affectionate little guy with a big personality. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, knows his basic commands, and loves walks, toys, fetch, tug, and being with his people.

He can be vocal at first and a little opinionated about his boundaries, but he warms up quickly and is incredibly sweet once he feels comfortable. He has lived with a cat and can do well with other dogs, though he may be a bit pushy. He hasn’t been around children, so we’re not sure yet how he would do with kids.

With some recent changes in his family’s work schedule, Harley is returning to BRB and would benefit from a calm foster home with a little less hustle and bustle while he transitions into his next chapter.

💌 DM us if you can foster Harley in Southern California.

Roger joined BRB from the Palmdale shelter earlier this year, and now he’s looking for his forever home.

He’s house-trained, affectionate, gentle with kids, and an easy boy to have around. Roger loves his walks, toys, car rides, and being close to the people he loves.

He’d do best as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the attention, and he requires simple daily eye drops.

Roger is ready for a family of his own. Could it be yours? ❤️

When 12-year-old Millie left Downey Shelter, we knew she deserved the chance to spend her golden years surrounded by love. Today, we’re so excited to share that she’s officially ADOPTED!

Millie stole hearts from the very beginning, and now she’s exactly where she belongs: with a family who adores her.

This happy ending took a village. Thank you to Pupfairytails for advocating for Millie and helping her story reach the right people, to her incredible foster Seamus and Billie for opening their heart and home and showing her what love feels like again, and to Dexter for giving Millie her freedom ride to a brighter future.

To Millie’s adopters Robert & Vanessa: thank you for giving this sweet senior the retirement she always deserved. Wishing you a lifetime of cuddles, naps, and happy memories together.

Some adoptions are simply meant to be.

After adopting Midnight from our rescue, Laura shared her wonderful experience with friends. Geoffrey and Jennifer had recently lost their beloved senior poodle and, after meeting Midnight, realized they were ready to welcome another dog into their lives.

After speaking with her foster family, Jennifer and her daughter, everyone knew it was the perfect match.

Now, she’s beginning her next chapter with Geoffrey, Jennifer, and their children under her new name, Sunshine. 💛

We didn’t even get the chance to properly introduce this sweet girl to everyone before she found her forever family! That’s the power of an incredible rescue network and community.

Happy life, Sunshine! 🐾
