Story
We recently had a fourth child who suddenly became allergic to our dogs & we did not realize it until he comes in close contact with our dogs. We have tried to post our dogs on Facebook pages for adoption but have been met with hateful comments and uninterested individuals. We have been trying to rehome our dog for nearly a year and do not want him to be put down, so we tried different ways in separating our pets from our kids but it has not been successful all the time. Tydus understands basic commands such as sit, wait, lay down, paw, heel & speak. He is a dominant dog & does well with other dogs but it can take some used to being around. He’s a lounging type of dog but does get worked up when someone’s at the door (great for letting you know someone’s there). He can be talkative and a crybaby when you leave the house and back for errands but for a few minutes. If you’re interested in meeting him, please reach out. Thank you!

Story
I adopted her about six years ago. I am looking for a new home for her because our daughter has special needs and she needs/deserves a home that can give her more attention. She is very sweet and wants to cuddle. She is not a huge fan of small dogs. I think with her getting older a home with older children or no children would be best. She is missing her front leg however, it does not slow her down.

Story
Looking for a home for Max, a adorable senior dog who suffers from severe separation anxiety. He thrives any environment where someone is always around. It would be especially helpful if there is another senior dog to keep him company. Max is a kind, affectionate dog who is great with kids and even gets along with cats. Despite his age, he still has a playful, puppy-like spirit and looks just as youthful as ever. However, with our two young kids and their busy schedule, we often have to leave him alone at home, which has been causing him a lot of stress. He was fine when my wife was home more often, but now with her responsibilities at home, Max's anxiety has worsened. Because of his anxiety, Max cant be left alone for long periods; he becomes so stressed that he may have accidents in the house, and we've had complaints from neighbors about his barking when left alone in a crate. If you're someone who works from home or is retired, Max would be an ideal companion.

Hello! My name is Louis and I am a 16-pound eleven year old, male Bichon Frise mix. My family couldn't take care of me any longer and now I'm a very happy BROC boy! I love attention and would love a family with no children, that gives me lots of love and attention. I don't need another pup in my world, I'm happy to be an only pup that gets all your love. I'm very well behaved and know basic commands. I am a super sweet boy - smart and affectionate! 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, Im microchipped and I have already had a complete dental cleaning. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please complete an adoption application. https://bichonrescueoc.org/adoption-application Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Hello! My name is Lila and I am 7 yea-old, 9-pound female miniature Poodle mix. I am a sweet girl - smart and affectionate! I will shower you with love and cuteness, but I do prefer to be the center of your attention. That means I should be the only pup in the home, without competition from other dogs or even children. As for you, though, I will follow you everywhere, hoping you will sit down so we can cuddle. If you want to form an extremely close bond with a dog, then I'm your gal. I do need daily eye drops and some other meds, but I am in good health overall. 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, Im 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-application Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
SOFIA IS SPECIAL NEEDS AND IS IN NEED OF A SPONSOR. SHE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Hello everyone, My name is Sofia and my personality is as big as my beautiful name. I'm a 10-year-old small 8-pound Bichon Frise mix. I am fun, loving and full of spirit! They call me a SPECIAL NEEDS PUP. I took a fall before becoming a BROC BABE and the doctors said I would NEVER walk again due to a spinal cord rupture. But my foster mom says I have the will to get wherever I want, nothing holds me back. My BROC Aunties got some custom wheels for me and you should see me run. I'm like a horse in its chariot, and I must say, I do look adorable. I take walks with and without my wheels, I walk with all my fur siblings and chase bunnies like no other but I need my wheels at times. My foster mom loves me and takes great care of me. I am still practicing walking and recovering and could use some help with my medical bills and daily needs. If youd like to sponsor me, please use the link below. Thank you! Sponsor Me: https://bichonrescueoc.org/sponsorship Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
