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!

Story
Hello, everyone! I'm Sunny! I am 17 years young (that's because I don't act my age.) I am a sweet, affectionate, adorable boy who loves attention, I love to be stroked and petted, love to be cuddled! I will hop right into my bed when it's time for my human to read or watch TV and when she drinks her coffee in the morning. I like to cuddle with her on the couch, too, especially when she rubs my belly! I like to take short walks and I like the other dogs I meet. I have quite a few foster brothers and sisters in my foster home, and we all get along famously! It's nice having a pack after being an only dog my whole life, although I'm OK being an "only" too. My former family loved me from when I was a puppy, but their circumstances changed and they had to give me to BROC after much soul searching and tears. I told them not to worry, because I know I will be OK. My aunties here will make sure of it. I am pretty chill. I rarely, if ever, bark, even if the rest of the pack is going at it like the world is ending! I like to move with the pack, though, as we follow Mom from room to room. What I am trying to tell you is that I'm overall a great dog for just about anybody who wants a chill guy who is low maintenance. I have had all my shots and am neutered and microchipped. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please complete an online adoption application at https://bichonrescueoc.org/dog-adoption/ Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Hello People, My name is Vivi and I’m a sweet and quite sassy little girl of five looking for a forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very loving and affectionate -- and as feminine as they come. I’m all of 12 pounds, am housebroken (and use the doggy door) and I love my crate. I even put myself to bed at night if I’m tired (but Mom lets me come in to the Big People’s Bed in the morning for a cuddle or two or three!) Dad says I’m a diamond in the rough. He and Mom are doing their best to teach me the proper way to behave in the world. I’m definitely making progress but will need to continue my ‘learning’ with someone who is a super smart and VERY savvy dog person. If that sounds like you, please read on! While I am long on (good) looks and cute as can be, I’m also pretty willful. I like to do what I like to do (which is why I need someone who is smarter than I am and will guide me into perfect behaviors.) I walk well on a leash and am learning to relax in the car. I do best on short drives and when I can listen to music. I do love to cuddle and am known for springing up into your lap to cuddle at the slightest provocation and wanting you to pet my head ( but only my head, please!). If you are lying on the sofa, I love to roll on top of you and make cute little "snorty" noises as I turn around. Unfortunately I’m not a pup that is good around children. If you have children or grandchildren that visit I’m not the one for you. Sorry! I’m an ‘adults-only’ kind of pup. Mom says before I became a FurKid I was adopted simply because I am cute. So I formed some bad habits that she is helping me to overcome. Since I’m smart, I’m definitely learning what to do and not do. I’m also a bit selective about making friends. I bark when people come to the door (Dad says I’m a great watchdog) but when I know someone, I’m much friendlier. I also guard my toys, which is why I’m best as the only pup in the house. My Ideal Home: *Someone home most of the time * NO other FurKids--as I like to be the center of attention * Adults only * NO children or grandchildren * Committed to training me Experience level: *Recent dog experience a must! *Rescue dog experience a plus! *Experience with behavioral training a real plus!!! Because I wasn’t successful in my ‘past life’ I’m hoping to make up for lost time – and am looking for adopters who will appreciate my femininity and my affectionate nature – and will continue to work on my training so I can become the best little girl that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m well worth the effort but you have to know my signals so that I can be successful. If I sound like the pup you are looking for please let us know. It will be a very special home to which I am adopted as I’m a very special kind of pup. If that sounds like you, please send an email explaining your experience and background to bfkapplicants@gmail.com If you sound like you represent a fit, we will be back in touch.

Story
Hello Everyone! My name is Bouncy Benji and I’m a three year old Bichon Havanese mix who is 16 pounds of happy energy and fun. My foster Mom says I’m a very special boy who is very smart (more on that in a minute) and am ridiculously cute. I love to walk (I actually prance), play with toys (I can entertain myself if you are busy), am smart, sweet and both observant and respectful of ‘the rules of the house’. Perhaps the most amazing thing about me, though, is my love of life – and resilience. Before I became a FurKid I lived outside with other dogs and very little human attention. There were a lot of us so we never got to sit on laps or go for walks or learn commands. We didn’t get belly rubs or rides in the car or get to be groomed and feel good. All of that changed a few weeks ago. Now I have this great foster home, a doggy foster sister to observe and learn from – and I get cuddles and snuggles from Mom. (I’ve learned how to ask for them too!) In no time at all, I have learned the joy of going for a walk. I now take walks of two miles or more every morning and trot like a pony with a big smile on my face. Mom says that I truly love being outdoors-- and not just on walks! (She doesn’t have a yard so if I had a yard to sun and run in why I think I’d be in heaven!) I don’t tug on my leash or bark at other dogs either! Mom says I’m also her secret diet! You see, she’s lost weight taking me on my walks! Those walks help me to enjoy my ‘down time’ at home where I can show how smart I am by mastering puzzles and playing games like ‘find the hidden toy --or treat! Each day I’m making up for lost time, learning new things and exploring the world around me. I’ve mastered lots of things very quickly. Mom says that shows I’m learning commands and would like to learn more. Oh, and after a lot of activity, I love to stretch out on the floor (Mom says it’s my Superman stretch.) I’ve also been known to take a nap in that position.) I’m housebroken and crate trained (I go to sleep quietly in my crate after my last walk and stay asleep until morning) and I definitely respond to love AND structure. Because I have a lot of puppy energy, Mom has some ‘tricks’ she uses to channel my excitement when we’re getting ready for a walk. (She promises to share them with you as they make me very happy!) My Ideal Home: *An active couple or person to love *Someone home most of the time *No other pup required – I can be an ‘only’ *Adults or a family with older children Experience level: *Have had dogs as an adult *Recent/current dog experience a plus *Rescue dog experience also a plus So if you are looking for a companion to share your life, keep you active, are patient and committed to helping me become the bestest little guy I can be, please complete our application and ask for me as I’m applying for the job! Snuggles, Cuddles and Happy Adventures. Bouncy, Blissful and Big-Hearted Benji

Story
Hi Everyone, My name is Gregarious Georgie and I’m a loving, cuddly and affectionate pup who is a bichon/maltese mix that is three years old and lots of fun! I have silky cream colored hair with apricot coloring around my eyes and mouth, expressive brown eyes and a perpetual smile. My foster Mom says I’m adorable and a joy to have around. Grandma says I’m attentive, loyal and very sweet. She also says that I’m doing my absolute best to be your bestest friend in the world. I’m the perfect companion, as I am happy to hang out with you when you watch TV, work at your desk, talk on the phone, cook a meal, go for a walk or enjoy the backyard. I simply want to share your world and let you know how much I appreciate you! Did I mention that I like other dogs --as well as little ones called kids and big ones called adults? Well, I do as I’m a happy dog who gets along with everyone. (Mom says to tell you I am a little shy at first with strangers but I warm up quickly!) Grandma says I’m a sporty little dog too. I love to play tennis (no rackets please, just balls) and I often toss the tennis ball to my Mom to encourage her to play. I also love to run track. I race all around the yard after my doggy foster sibling. We have a great time together! And because I’m a good sport, I often let her win! I also like to train so I’m happy to run around by myself too. I’m also housebroken (I go to the door to let you know it’s time to go out) and, like most other FurKids, I’m very social! I like to go on walks and rides (in the car, that is) love being touched and petted, enjoy receiving back rubs and tummy scratches and I smile all the time!!! After playing and having fun, I’m happy to cuddle with you and give you kisses so you feel loved too. And while I’m crate trained, I also like to sleep quietly on my own bed all night long. My Ideal Home: *An active person who is also home a lot and likes to walk, go for rides and cuddle *Another active, playful dog would be nice *I can also be an ‘only’ pup if I get to do playdates with other pups *Adults or a family would be perfect Experience level: *Have had dogs as an adult *Recent/current dog experience a plus Mom says I’m a little ball of sunshine who will light up your life – and that I’m a very special little guy who has been a delight to everyone to have in her home. So if you’re looking for a new little buddy to cuddle with, walk with, talk to, and hang out with, I’m applying for the job. Please ask for me so we can meet. Loves and licks, Gorgeous, Gentle and Good-Natured Georgie

Story
Hello World! My name is Joyful Joby and I’m 12 pounds of fun in a very cute body! I’m about three years old and as sweet as can be. I love riding in the car, going on walks and am excited at all new adventures. Although I’m a bit shy when I first meet strangers once I get to know them, I become attached very quickly and love with all my heart!  I’m definitely a lovebug and one who wants to find my special person or persons . My doggy foster siblings have been “showing me the ropes” and teaching me that the world’s a great place and people are both kind and loving. That has helped me a lot!  My Foster Mom says that playing with toys is my happy time (or is it my Super Power?) I love to play fetch (you should see me in action!), have mastered the art of making music with squeaky toys and love to run in the yard (chasing or being chased by my doggy foster brother and sisters.) I get along great with them but I'd really prefer to be the center of someone's universe. I can learn so much and would bask in the attention. Oh! And I do the bestest zoomies, too!  I’ve been learning commands, understanding how to walk on a leash (I’m fast!) and mastering housebreaking. Mom says I’m a people pleaser and I DO want to make her happy! Now in terms of those creatures called cats, I’m definitely way too interested in the ones I have seen on our walks. So not cats in my forever home please!   And since I haven’t been around many children Mom thinks I’d probably do best in a home with ‘bigger people.’ I’m also going to be most successful with savvy adopters who are able to be patient with me as we get to know one another.  My Ideal Home: *Someone home most of the time *No other pup in the home is required *Adults preferably * No cats or young children Experience level: *Have had dogs as an adult *Recent/current dog experience a plus  So if you are looking for a little lovebug who loves to cuddle, play with toys, go on adventures and be the best companion you could ask for, please complete an application and ask for me.

Story
Welcome Levi!  Levi is between 7-8 years old and weighs 12 pounds. He is house trained and crate trained. He absolutely loves toys and lounging in his dog bed. Levi likes to be close to you and will follow you around the house. Levi has had many changes in his life and will need an experienced and patient owner to allow him to settle in and bond with you. He seems to be better around women than men. Levi needs reinforcement on his leash training as he does tend to pull. He will also bark at other dogs he sees on his walks. Once adopted we will provide a training session with our trainer to work on addressing these things. The best fit for Levi would be in an adult-only single family home with a yard.   If you are interested in meeting Levi please first complete the adoption application on our website, www.greatpets.org. We cannot schedule an introduction with out an application. Levi's $200 adoption donation includes his vet examination, neuter surgery, vaccinations, dental, fecal and microchip.
