Keep in mind, though, that they only adopt to nearby cities and not the entire state. Virginia is another state where Bichon Frises aren’t a very popular breed. In fact, there is only one shelter that is focused on helping Bichons and other small breeds, and that is the Caring Hearts Rescue in Springfield.
While these pups are adorable, they require a lot of attention and human company. Otherwise, they will develop behavioral issues that can result in destructive behavior. Similar to Texas, Bichons aren’t a common sight in Arizona, which is why there aren’t many rescues that specialize in this dog breed. Illinois has several good rescues that you may find a Bichon Frise in. While only one focuses solely on Bichon Frises, others will take and rescue Bichons together with some other small dog breeds. Florida is a state with a few Bichon Frise rescue organizations, but it’s also one of the locations where the Bichon Frise Club of America Charitable Trust operates.
Rather uniquely, Bichon and Buddies has a Foster-to-Adopt period that is mandatory for everyone who’d like to adopt. In other words, you’ll be able to take a pup home before the official adoption is complete. You are not required to be from Southern California to adopt from them, but they don’t organize transportation. They’ll bark whenever they feel threatened, and they might not be too fond of strangers.
Unfortunately, if you’re looking to adopt a Bichon Frise in Colorado, you’ll most likely have to contact a shelter outside the state. Seeing a Bichon in this state, whether in a home or on the streets, is a rare sight. This is an event where they invite hundreds of rescued Bichons and their adopters to come together and have a day full of fun activities. While the event has been put on an indefinite hold during the pandemic, it might be organized again in the future. If they’ve deemed you eligible, they will contact you rather quickly and arrange to introduce you to your new dog.
This is done to help future owners understand what their new family member has gone through, so they can know what to expect. You might also want to contact your local shelters, as they might have some purebred Bichon Frises placed up for adoption. They have an adoption form that includes most of the regular questions you can find with any other rescue group. However, they might require some in-depth explanations for a few scenario-based inquiries.
I was born and raised in the small town of Clinton, Oklahoma. I always had a love for animals, which led me to pursue a career in zookeeping. I worked at various zoos across the country before becoming the director emeritus of the Zoo and Aquarium. I am now retired from my career in zookeeping, but I still enjoy caring for animals as a hobby.
