My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Darling Dexter and I am 13-pound, 7 year old Maltese mix. I am a sweet boy - smart and affectionate! I am loved and well-cared for with my foster family but I am looking for my forever home. My foster mom says I have a neurological disorder that impacts my equilibrium and my ability to walk. I do have wheels though and boy can I go when I want to. I give my foster doggie brother a run for his money when we play outside. I have had a thorough health examination, Im microchipped and I have had a dental cleaning every six months. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please complete an adoption application. https://bichonrescueoc.org/adoption-application Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

More about this rescue

Bichon Rescue of Orange County (BROC) was organized to address the ever increasing number of senior bichons and other small breeds that are being surrendered by their owners and dropped off at local shelters in Orange County. Through the Seniors for Seniors Program we are committed to cultivating our senior citizens both as volunteer fosters and as adopters. The Seniors for Seniors Program will encourage qualified Senior adopters to adopt senior pups.
We have over fifteen years of combined history in rescue and a team of dedicated volunteers, committed to our Mission.
