We really need fosters so we can take dogs in from the shelter. There are so many little fluffs that need our help out there. In order to be able to save more dogs, we need your help! If there’s a place in your home and your heart, we could really use your help as a foster! Please see our website for an application form. Thank you.

MEET PRECIOUS PEARL,

Ms. Pearl is BROC's latest and greatest precious little girl. She's a tiny little nugget, full of fun and love. She knows her basic commands and we are pretty sure she's housebroken.
Her foster mom says she loves to play with her ball and will bring it right back and drop it in your hand.
Her perfect day is a few walks, going with her human to run errands, running after her ball and then a nice nap on her humans lap.
She is great with other gentle pups and older children.
If Pearl sounds like the perfect gal for you, please submit an application to bichonrescueoc.org

Our adorable Dexter is still seeking his forever home or forever foster. Please find it in your heart to take him in. He's so young and delightful, full of life, and he deserves a home full of life. He's special needs, but you'll get so much reward from him for being his caregiver and beloved person! He's such a lover! Here's more about him, in his own words..

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.

Do you ever find your heart breaking for the dogs you see in shelter photos and on rescue pages and wish there was something you could do...but you can't adopt or foster at this time, and you don't have time to volunteer? We understand...life can get in the way of what the heart wants to do. There is one thing you can do, though, if your resources permit, and that is to sponsor one of our special needs pups with a monthly donation of any amount. Our special needs pups have been diagnosed with conditions that significantly reduce the likelihood of traditional adoption, while others are terminal. We have amazing volunteers committed to fostering these pups until the end, but your monthly donation will help cover the costs of their office visits, medications, food and more. If you are able to sponsor pups like Dexter, Lila, Sofia and Louis, please go to https://bichonrescueoc.org/sponsorship/ and select any amount as your tax-deductible monthly gift. Thank you!

Our darling Snowball is still looking for his forever home. He is very loved by his current foster mom, but we feel he would be better served in a home where there are fewer dogs, so that he can have all of his person's attention. We are confounded as to why he is still with us...He's just WONDERFUL! His current foster mom says he is the dearest boy, so mellow, so gentle, so willing to just go with the flow. And even though he doesn't mind having other dogs around, his favorite thing, the one thing he lives for besides food, is to cuddle and be content at your side, whether beside you, at your feet, or in the bed. He will love you so much that he will follow you everywhere and look for you if you leave the room or house. He is housebroken if you remember to take him outside at regular intervals (a senior can only hold it so long!) and never barks. That makes him perfect for someone in a condo or townhouse. Snowball is still waiting to be someone's special pup. He's WORTH IT and deserves a loving and forever home. Could that be you? If you would like to adopt Snowball, please complete an application at https://bichonrescueoc.org/dog-adoption/
