Story

Meet Brodie – A Little Survivor Looking for the Love He's Always Deserved Hi, my name is Brodie, and I'm a five-year-old, 12-pound Havanese with the sweetest heart you'll ever meet. Life hasn't always been kind to me. I spent far too long living outside with no shelter, trying to endure the scorching heat all by myself. Thankfully, the wonderful people at BROC rescued me, and now my future is finally looking bright. My foster family says I'm one of the sweetest little boys they've ever met. I'm housebroken, calm, and quiet—I hardly ever bark. I love going on leisurely walks, rolling around in the soft grass, and when the day is done, my favorite place is cuddled up next to my person for a cozy nap or a full night's sleep. I don't ask for much—just a safe home, a loving family, and the chance to spend the rest of my life knowing what it feels like to truly belong. If you think you might be the forever family I've been waiting for, please complete an adoption application at bichonrescueoc.org. I can't wait to meet you.

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 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

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!

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!

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

Berry is one of our sanctuary pups and is not available for adoption. Please help us support Berry by donating in his name.Hello! My name is Berry, and I am a great catch for those preferring a more mature companion! I am a super sweet boy--smart and affectionate, too! I'm what they call "sight impaired." I do fine once I know my way around my surroundings, but I like my humans to be close by to reassure me that I'm safe. I'm really good on my walks, and of course being a senior I like my walks slow and short. I'm not boring, though! My foster mom says I have a definite silly side, too. If you want a dignified, easygoing gentleman to keep you company, then I'm your guy. I am loved and well-cared for with my foster family but I am looking for my forever home. I have had a thorough health examination, I’m microchipped and I will have a dental cleaning prior to adoption. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please complete an adoption application. https://bichonrescueoc.org/adoption-applicatio
