Story

Meet Coby! Coby is a fun-loving 4-year-old pup with a big personality packed into a lean 12-pound frame. While he's currently on the slim side and would ideally be closer to 16 pounds, what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in spirit. Coby is always ready for an adventure, whether that means playing, exploring, or charming everyone he meets. His playful nature, happy attitude, and lovable personality make him impossible to resist. With a heart much bigger than his body, Coby is truly one fun guy who brings joy, laughter, and plenty of tail wags wherever he goes. â¤ï¸â¨FOCHP Adoption Process Adopting a pet through FOCHP is easy, and our process moves quickly! 1.

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 nine-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

He moves through life with quiet trust, relying on the kindness of people around him.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Memphis a stunning 10 pound Maltese who has already overcome more in her young life than most dogs ever will. Rescued from a high kill shelter, Memphis found himself fighting for his life. He was scared of his surroundings and sounds which is quite overwhelming for point size baby and sadly placed on the euthanasia list. Just hours from the unthinkable, our rescue pulled him to safety. Today he is glowing with life. Memphis is the definition of resilient beauty. His sleek White coat and intelligent, soulful eyes turn heads everywhere he goes. He is truly beautiful but his real magic is on the inside: this boy has the gentlest, most humble spirit you’ll ever meet. He is wonderful with children, adults, and other dogs, always greeting everyone with a soft tail wag and a sweet lean. He is playful and lights up on adventures, yet the moment the day winds down he becomes the world’s best cuddle bug, happily curling up next to you like he has always belonged there. Memphis is affectionate, eager to please, and has that perfect blend of soft energy and calm that makes him an ideal companion for almost any home. After everything he has been through, he deserves the world and all he wants in return is a family to love him forever. Memphis is fully healthy, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to steal your heart (and probably a few treats). Could you be his happy ending? ?

Story

Lemon is 5 years old and we adopted her when she was 1. She is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and soak up all the pets and attention she can get. She would do best in a home where she can be the only dog, as she does not do well with other dogs and has resource-guarding behaviors around food. She deserves a loving home that understands her needs and can provide a safe, patient, and supportive environment where she can thrive.
