OUR TEAM

Bichon FurKids is a charitable not-for-profit organization whose members believe that our animal companions deserve to be cherished, cared for and protected. We value the loving contribution they make to our lives and are dedicated to assisting these loyal companions in finding forever homes — and a second chance at life.

Our goal is to rescue bichons, bichon mixes and other small dogs who can no longer live with their original owners. Our Board and key volunteers are all dedicated, passionate and compassionate people who strive to make a difference in a dog’s life, assisting these FurKids to be adopted by loving owners who will care for and protect them as long as they live.

Meet our amazing volunteers!
