Senior and Special Needs Pups
Dashing Dexter
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.
Sweet Sofia
This is our Sweet Sofia. Her personality is as big as her beautiful name. She’s a petite little girl, about five years old. She is precious, fun, and full of spirit. Sofia is considered a special needs pup because she took a fall before becoming a BROC BABE, and the doctors said she would NEVER walk again due to a spinal cord rupture. But her foster mom says she has the will to get wherever she wants; nothing holds her back.
BROC bought some custom wheels for Sofia, and you should see her run. She’s like a horse in its chariot. She is truly adorable.
Cute Cooper
Hello! My name is Cooper and I am a 22 -pound, nine year old male Westie-poo. My foster mom says I am the sweetest, easiest pup she has ever met. I love to follow my human around and cuddle up on their lap as soon as they sit down. I'm not real great at staying alone, I prefer to have someone home with me or to be taken on errands with my person. I'm great in the car and with all other pups and people. Since I really like "all" the attention, I would do great as the only pup in my new home. I do take thyroid medication twice a day, but I take it really easy, just can't forget to give it to me, it's really important in keeping me healthy. I just developed an eye condition that is going to require drops twice a day.

Stunning Sunny
ello, 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.

Charming Charli
Hello! My name is Charli and I am a senior 8-pound male Maltese mix. I am a super sweet boy - smart and affectionate! I just like to chill and explore the yard. I like short walks but am just as happy cuddling with my human. I never bark and rarely whine, and am a gentleman to people I meet. I am housebroken but do not know how to use a doggy door, so please remember to let me out once in a while. I am the perfect calm sweetheart for someone who is home most of the time and wants a cuddly companion.

Fabulous Finnegan
Hello, everyone! I'm Finnegan, and I'm 9 pounds and 9 years of pure, sweet Bichon Frise! My Mommy couldn't care for me any longer, so Bichon Rescue of Orange County scooped me up and said to her. "Don't worry, we'll take care of him and find him a forever home!" My foster Mom says I am a complete love bug who is good with kids and other dogs. I'm friendly with people, too. And, you can see by the photos that I am cute as can be.

Our commitment to every pup does not waiver when they have special needs. Some of our fluffs 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 special needs rescue pups until the end. Please consider becoming a sponsor for one or more of these pups. Your monthly donation may cover the cost of one office visit, a vital prescription, or a host of other special needs.
