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
Meet Penelope, Penelope, aka Penny, is an adorable 10-year-old, 15-pound Bichon Frise with a sweet personality and a heart full of love. She's looking for a forever home where she can be the center of someone's world. Penny would do best as the only pet in the home, where she can enjoy all of the attention and affection she deserves. She absolutely loves spending time with her person and is always ready to join you for a walk or hop in the car for an adventure. She has great energy for an 10-year-old and enjoys getting out and exploring, but she's just as happy to come home, curl up beside you, and relax with a good cuddle. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will happily accompany you on your daily walks, ride shotgun on errands, and be your devoted best friend, Penny may be the perfect match. Penny is ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a family who will love her as much as she'll love them. If you think Penny is the girl you've been waiting for, please visit BichonRescueOC.org and complete an adoption application. She can't wait to meet her forever family!
