Story
Meet Teddi! 🐾 Teddi is a 1-year-old Maltipoo mix weighing about 11 lbs, and he’s packed with personality. He has many wonderful qualities—sweet, friendly, and eager to bond with his people—but he’s also a dog who will thrive best with the right match and a little guidance. Teddi can be mouthy and will need continued training to help him develop polite manners. Because of this, he may be too much for young children, though a home with older kids could be considered at a parent’s discretion. Teddi prefers to be the only pet, as he does not do well with other dogs or cats. This little guy will need regular professional grooming to keep his coat looking and feeling its best, and he’ll benefit from ongoing training. The good news? Teddi is highly motivated by toys and high-value treats, making him a fun and rewarding training partner. He would make an excellent companion for an adult who enjoys working with their dog and building a strong one-on-one bond. Teddi can be vocal at times, so a quieter home—rather than an apartment setting—would likely suit him best. With structure, patience, and love, Teddi has the potential to be a loyal, entertaining, and affectionate best friend. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality and are ready to invest in his success, Teddi may be the perfect match for you! Professional Grooming Teddi would do best in a home with older kids. All dogs that are adopted from Butte Humane Society come microchipped, spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, placed on preventions for heartworm, and flea and tick-borne illnesses. Come down to Butte Humane Society and meet your next family member today!

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
Hi, my name is Dexter. I'm a happy-go-lucky guy who got dealt a bad hand in life, but I am not letting that get me down. I live life to my fullest despite my mobility issues! I'm a seven year-old bundle of energy and joy. I'm a Maltese-poodle mix (who looks an awful lot like a Bichon, in my auntie's opinion!) I was born with a neurological disorder that affects my equilibrium and my ability to walk--but I don't let that get me down! I'm too smart for that...nothing stops me. BROC has equipped me with the latest and greatest doggie wheels, of course, and I'm a champion driver--but even without wheels I can scramble around the yard to chase my foster brother - as well as any other dog. My technique might not win awards, but I don't care! I get to where I want to go, with or without wheels. Speaking of "go"...I am fully housebroken. All I need is someone to take me to the "potty place" a few times a day (same as any other dog), and that is one of the reasons I need a special person. You see, I can't get to the yard on my own, and it isn't safe for me to be alone out there anyway. My special person also would need to ensure my safety in the home. Being that I'm not so graceful, my person needs to make sure the home is safe - without things that could harm me if I were to, let's say, meet them head-on at cruising speed. My current foster mom created a large, enclosed "Dexter Den" for me, complete with a big bed, my favorite toys, water of course, and plenty of space to move around. I stay in my den when my foster mom needs to leave the house. When she's home, I just hang out in my den or roam around. The bottom line is this: Apart from my neurological condition, I am a very normal, healthy dog who is full of joy and very loving. Everyone I meet falls in love with me, because I know how to put on the charm! I don't require a lot of work, but I do need special help and attention...thus it takes a special person. If you have room in your heart and home for delightful me, please complete an adoption application. https://bichonrescueoc.org/adoption-applicationk
