Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What is your name?
Sushi Roll (I will be promoted to just Sushi someday) Shuni, Sushi Shuuu, Sush Marie… my foster mom calls me all sorts of weird names, but I kinda like it.
How old are you?
I’m about 3-4 years young, the perfect age in my opinion.
How much do you weigh?
Well, let’s not talk about that right now… my end goal is 50 lbs…. I would like to think of myself as a weight watchers CHAMPION!
What do you look like?
My foster parents call me a beautiful hippo with a pretty white belly, I think I look like a happy roll – you know, like the sushi roll????
What do you like to eat?
Uhhh… well…. I’m kinda on a diet right now, but I prefer pupshakes
What kind of personality do you have?
If you ask me – I’m always happy, I am protective of my turf when I hear new noises and I don’t really know how big I am
Describe your perfect day:
Well, my perfect day would start with a gourmet breakfast, then a little nap. After my nap I would go on a long walk with my forever family, once we get home we could snuggle on the couch for a while. Then I would love to hang around the house until dinner time, eat my delicious dinner and go for another walk right afterwards. At then end of the night I would snuggle up in my nice warm bed and dream about taking more walks.
What is your favorite toy?
Eh. I’m not much of a toy gal, more of a walking and cuddling partner gal.
Do you know any tricks?
Yeah! I’m really good at stealing people’s hearts!! Oh and I can sit too 😉
What scares you?
I’m not a big fan of loud noises, OR being squirted with a water bottle for correction.
Have you been around children? Do you like them?
I have seen a few kids, but don’t spend much time around them – I will keep you posted on that one!
Do you like cats?
My foster family has cats, they are alright I don’t feel like I need to chase them or anything.
How do you feel about other dogs?
I have 3 foster siblings, and they are all great! Except for the big mean boy dog, he doesn’t really like me very much, but I kinda have a crush on him. My two sister dogs are SO MUCH FUN! We play and lay on our doggie beds together.
If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Anywhere??? I think my forever home would be the best place to be IN THE WORLD!
How is your health?
My health is great! I’m working on a weight loss plan right now, and my skin can be a little irritable (nothing Benadryl can’t fix) 😊
Who do you live with your foster home and who is your closest companion?
I live with my foster parents, my foster brother Diesel, my foster sister Indy, my other foster sister Bailey and TWO foster cat siblings. My closest companion right now, is my foster Mom. I love her very much and sometimes she can be mean, but that’s ok.
Where do you hang out when you are home alone?
When I’m home alone I stay in my own house, my foster parents call it my crate.
Where do you sleep?
Uh.. in my bed, DUH! My foster parents call it my crate.
Do you like walking on a leash?
I LOVE WALKING! Walking is my FAVORITE and I’m great at walking on a leash! Sometimes I have to be corrected for pulling a little bit.
Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard?
Hmm.. I get a little excited and do jump a little when my foster parents get home, but calm down after a few minutes. They are working with me on this.
Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside)
Absolutely, who pees in the house??
Do you like water?
Not really, I don’t mind baths, but my foster parents squirt me with a water bottle for correction and I HATE IT!
What do you love about your foster family?
That they love me! They take me on walks almost every day, they make sure I don’t get too crazy and keep me in a routine.
What was your life like before being brought into NorCal Bully Breed Rescue?
I’m not too sure, I have been in the rescue for quite a while so it’s all I know.
NorCal Bully Breed Rescue is a foster based rescue with foster homes spread all throughout the Sacramento area. We usually require our adopters to be within a 50 to 100 mile radius of us, depending on the dog, and depending on the home. This is because we need to do a yard check to guarantee that the potential adopter's yard is secure, and also have them be close enough should any behavioral issues arise, and the assistance of our trainer is needed. We are, however, willing to adopt out of our area, including the Bay Area, Tahoe, and even further. We've even adopted out of state on very special occasions. We try our best to match our dogs to the perfect homes, and match them based on their personalities, not their looks. Adoptions are not done on a "first come, first serve" basis, rather in the order of what homes are the right match for that particular dog. Our adoption fees are based on the dog and range from $200-$350. In the case of senior dogs (6+ years), fees will be waived to the right home. This includes spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, and deworming (if necessary)
Sushi's adoption donation is $200
Interested in meeting Sushi or any of our available pooches? Complete and submit our adoption application on our website norcalbullybreedrescue.com and we will respond to you within 24 to 48 hours.
