Story
This is Dot. She is a sweetheart full of energy. She is about 2 years old in October and we are looking to rehome because we have a busy lifestyle with three young boys (one newborn) and believe she needs more attention than we can offer for the foreseeable future of our life. She would do best in an active home that can play fetch and go for walks but also loves to be on her bed hanging out in the evenings watching tv with you.

Story
TERRY MUST GO TO A HOME WITH ANOTHER DOG IN IT.Meet Terrific Terry! 🐾💙 Terrific Terry is a 10-month-old male Shih Tzu who is as adorable as his name suggests! This sweet little guy is full of puppy energy, loves to play, and has a wonderful temperament. Terry is a happy, social boy who enjoys the company of other dogs and would love a home with another young, playful dog to be his buddy. Since he’s still a puppy, having a canine friend to play with and grow up alongside would be ideal for him. He’s also good in the car, great with other dogs, and ready for all the fun, love, adventures, and cuddles that come with having a forever family. If you think Terrific Terry might be the perfect little guy to complete your family, please submit an adoption application at BichonRescueOC.org. 💙🐶 Terry is ready to find his forever home—and his very own best friend!

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.

Story
Meet Bella – A Sweet Soul Looking for Her Forever Person ❤️ Hello, everyone! My name is Bella, and I'm a beautiful 10-year-old Bichon mix with a heart full of love to give. Life recently changed when my parents could no longer care for me, so now I'm officially a BROC babe and ready to start my next chapter. I'm a calm, easygoing girl who is completely housebroken, walks beautifully on a leash, and rides like a perfect lady in the car. My favorite place is simply by my person's side. Whether we're enjoying a leisurely stroll, relaxing on the couch, or just spending quiet time together, I'm happiest when we're together. I think I'd be a wonderful companion for an older couple or someone looking for a loyal best friend to share life's simple pleasures. I'll happily encourage you to get outside for a few walks each day, then come home and snuggle up for some well-earned relaxation. If you think we might be the perfect match, I'd love to meet you! Please visit BichonRescueOC.org and complete an adoption application. I can't wait to find my forever family!

SALT IS BONDED WITH PEPPER! 🎉 Double the Fun, Double the Love – Meet Salt & Pepper! 🖤🤍 Hi everyone! We're Salt & Pepper, two adorable three-year-old Bichon Poodle mix brothers, and wherever we go, the party follows! If you've been looking for a little excitement, laughter, and a whole lot of love, we just might be your perfect match. Our family loved us very much, but due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer care for us. Thankfully, the wonderful people at Bichon Rescue of Orange County stepped in and promised to help us find the forever home we deserve. We're completely bonded and have been best friends our whole lives, so we're looking for a family that will keep us together. We love playing, exploring, making people laugh, and then curling up with our humans when the day is done. We're great with other dogs, ride nicely in the car, and have the sweetest hearts. We're still young and full of happy energy, so we could use a little training to polish our manners. We're smart little guys and eager to learn, especially if treats and love are involved! If you're looking for two handsome little companions who will fill your home with joy, laughter, and unconditional love, we can't wait to meet you. If we sound like the two little guys you've been searching for, please visit bichonrescueoc.org and submit an adoption application. We promise to bring twice the love, twice the smiles, and twice the fun into your life! Love, Salt & Pepper 🐾

Story
We unfortunately have to rehome our sweet senior dog. This is Miles, a 13 year old Shih Tzu mix. We took him in as an adult dog and have learned that he is not a fan of small children. He needs a quiet home with no young children. He's sensitive to babies crying and has some anxiety. Around adults, he is very friendly and completely house trained.
