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
Hi, I’m Joyful Jay! 💙 I’m a darling little 5 year old, 10-pound Bichon/Maltese mix with a HUGE personality packed into this tiny body. I adore my human and happiest when I’m right by your side — your little shadow, your cuddle buddy, your loyal best friend. I’m not a big barker, I’m housebroken, and my foster mama says I’m “all that and a bag of chips.” (I’m not exactly sure what that means… but I’m pretty sure it’s amazing.) If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted little guy to share your heart and home, I just might be the one for you. Please visit bichonrescueoc.org and submit an adoption application to meet me. I can’t wait to find my forever family!

Story
Charli is available for adoption, but HE IS IN SANCTUARY, which means BROC will support his care and needs for the rest of his life. Meet Charli!! Charli is a senior male poodle mix with a heart as gentle as his curly coat. Though he has lost his sight, he has not lost his sweet spirit. He moves through life with quiet trust, relying on the kindness of people around him. Despite his challenges, Charli remains affectionate and resilient, always ready for soft pets and calm companionship. His age and blindness mean he requires extra care, and financial support is greatly needed to ensure he receives the medical attention, comfort, and love he deserves in his golden years. Supporting Charli is not just helping a dog in need—it’s giving a faithful soul the chance to live out his days in safety and peace. If you would like to help support Charli, please visit our website at bichonrescueoc.org and click the donate button. Your donation makes a difference!

Story
Joyful Jackson here! 💙 I’m an adorable, 8-year-old, handsome Bichon mix who just arrived at the rescue. My aunties say I’m a calm, friendly, and super sweet gentleman — the kind of guy who just wants to hang out and enjoy life with his people. I’m still getting settled in with my new foster mom, so stay tuned… once I’m comfortable, they’ll be sharing more about my big (and wonderful!) personality. If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion who’s past the puppy stage but full of heart, I might just be your perfect match. Please submit an adoption application, to bichonrescueoc.org and we’ll be in touch. I can’t wait to meet my forever family! 🐾✨
