Exciting News: Our Online Store Has Been Upgraded! We welcome donations but, of course, a super-fun way to help us raise money is by shopping in our store, which now accepts credit cards in addition to PayPal. We offer dog clothes as well as BisB swag for dog owners. All store items are sewn and donated by volunteers and proceeds all go straight back into the rescue. Bald Is Beautiful Hairless and Small Breed Rescue, Inc. is a national 501c3 non profit organization. We are an independent rescue whose members- all volunteers-  have over 40 years of combined experience in the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs in need.  Our members’ reasons for being in rescue are varied from being compassionate lifetime dog lovers to having bought that “cute little puppy in the window” only to have our hearts broken when they became ill from being born to sick mothers kept in deplorable conditions.  Or when we sadly discovered that the “home raised” pups were, in reality, puppy mill puppies.

Whatever brought us to BisB, we stay because we have seen our hard work and dedication pay off in changing the lives of so many deserving dogs. Bald Is Beautiful specializes in the rescue and placement of abused, unwanted and abandoned dogs. We concentrate on hairless and small breed dogs and are known by many as a Chinese Crested rescue.  By involving and educating the community through our various web pages and fundraisers Bald Is Beautiful works to raise the public’s awareness of the plight of the homeless animals, as well as realizing the benefits of adopting a dog in need.  Our dogs are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive all medical treatments that our vets deem necessary before they are placed in carefully screened forever homes. "I absolutely love this organization. I had a fantastic experience and they went out of their way to be helpful during the entire process. I ended up with the most adorable new addition to our family and will look no further when I am ready to adopt again."
