Story
I adopted her from the Long Beach animal shelter in 2022. She’s 6 years old and has been with me ever since. She’s playful, lots of energy enjoys the dog park lots of attention and love. It’s unfortunate she’s not able to be with our family because of the landlord but she’s good with my 2 year old son, cats, and other animals. She definitely knows her place especially with other animals. The Russian Blue at my Moms house reigned over her. It was sweet to see how easy she is with other pets. It pains me to do this but I’m just looking for a better home than we can give her with a yard and attention. She has so much love and loyalty to give. She’s house trained and loves being with her people. I’d be open to fostering her to someone who would be willing to and has plenty of room for Mara to play. Since we plan on buying a house for this reason and for our son. But either way I just want her to go to someone; a family who will treat her good and love her as much as she’s loved.

Story
Berry is one of our sanctuary pups and is not available for adoption. Please help us support Berry by donating in his name.Hello! My name is Berry, and I am a great catch for those preferring a more mature companion! I am a super sweet boy--smart and affectionate, too! I'm what they call "sight impaired." I do fine once I know my way around my surroundings, but I like my humans to be close by to reassure me that I'm safe. I'm really good on my walks, and of course being a senior I like my walks slow and short. I'm not boring, though! My foster mom says I have a definite silly side, too. If you want a dignified, easygoing gentleman to keep you company, then I'm your guy. I am loved and well-cared for with my foster family but I am looking for my forever home. I have had a thorough health examination, I’m microchipped and I will have a dental cleaning prior to adoption. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please complete an adoption application. https://bichonrescueoc.org/adoption-applicatio

Hi everyone! My name is Mari, and I’m a young, puppy-like Bichon Frise boy with lots of energy and personality! I can get a little extra excited when there’s a lot going on, so my aunties have me in training to help me learn my best manners. I’m a smart guy and working hard every day! If you think I might be the perfect match for your family, please submit an adoption application, and someone will be in touch soon. I can’t wait to meet my forever people! 🐾💙

Story
Hi everyone 💕 My name is Tina, and I’m an adorable six-year-old Bichon/Maltese mix with the sweetest little angel face you’ve ever seen. I’m quiet, gentle, loving, and I know all my manners but I need to be an only dog. I’m the kind of girl who just wants to be by your side, soaking up love and giving it right back. I’ve got so much sweetness in my heart — now I just need a forever home that will cherish and spoil me the way I deserve. If you think you might be my perfect match, please submit an application at bichonrescueoc.org. I can’t wait to meet you! 💗

Story
Meet Sunny !! Sunny is available for adoption, but HE IS IN SANCTUARY, which means BROC will support his care and needs for the rest of his life. Hi, I’m Sunny!  Can  you believe I’m 17 years old?  Me neither! I may have the years, but I sure don’t act them—I still bounce, dance, and prance around the house like a pup. I’ve got a silly, goofy streak that makes everyone laugh, and a sweet heart that just wants to be near my people.   Even though I don’t let age slow me down, I do need a little extra care these days—things like vet visits, medicine, and the comforts that help me keep living my best (and silliest) life.   Your support helps me keep dancing through my golden years, making people smile, and soaking up every moment of love and joy. Thank you for being part of my story—you’re the sunshine that keeps me going! Sunny is adoptable to someone willing to take on his special needs. If you would like to help support Sunny, please visit our website at bichonrescueoc.org and click the donate button.
