Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**At this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas.(You MUST live in Sacramento County/parts of Placer County or in some parts of ElDorado County)***
What is your name? Esme.
Are you a girl or a boy? A girl
How old are you? About 3 years old
What breed are you? American Bully
How much do you weigh? About 40lbs of pure muscle
What do you look like? I'm gray with white on my chest. People say I remind them of a mini silver back gorilla.
What do you like to eat? I LOVE ALL FOOD! Especially my peanut butter treats.
What kind of personality do you have? I’m a HUGE CUDDLER! I like to go for walks and chew on more durable chews, but I’m also a big couch potato.
Describe your perfect day: Start with breakfast first thing, then I would like to go for a short walk. The more time I get to spend with you the better! I love car rides and seeing new places so a coffee date or happy hour would be great!
What is your favorite toy? I like to chew things like Kongs, Benebones or Nylabones. I like stuffy's with no squeakers.
Do you know any tricks? Yes! I know sit and I’m working on other super fancy tricks.
What scares you? Loud noises can startle me sometimes.
Have you been around children? Do you like them? My foster mom takes me out to family places and I love meeting all the kids. I got to hang out with her tiny human friends for a day and fit right in!
Do you like cats?
No, thank you.
How do you feel about other dogs? I like other dogs, but I also like to have my space. My foster brother always wants to play which doesn’t bother me, but I would prefer a couch potato position if offered.
If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be?
On a comfy couch with a lap to lay on…or out enjoying the sun!
How is your health?
As far as I know, I’m perfectly healthy.
Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion?
My foster mom and my 1yr old puppy brother…I like them both but my foster mom is my favorite for sure!
Where do you hang out when you are home alone? I’m pretty content in my crate when Mom isn’t home, but I don’t like being in my crate if I can hear people having fun in the house.
Where do you sleep? I sleep in my crate and once the lights are out, so am I!
Do you like walking on a leash? Yes, although I’m still new to the leash so I pull a little but my foster mom is teaching me to slow down.
Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig?
Other than pulling on the leash sometimes, I don’t like being locked in my crate for too long and may try to chew on it…but I’m getting more comfortable knowing I’m in a safe space.
Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside) Yes, I always go to the door when I need to potty.
Do you like water?
I’ve had a bath and I like the scrubbing part a lot…I don’t think I have a swimmers body though so no pools for me.
What do you love about your foster family? Mom makes me homemade treats, takes me to meet her friends, gives me love and kisses and always calls me pretty. AND I’m allowed on the couch, but only to snuggle.
What was your life like before being brought into NorCal Bully Breed Rescue? I don’t remember a lot…I can’t bark. I guess something was done to prevent me from having a voice. But luckily I found NorCal Bully Breed Rescue and now I'm a spoiled house hippo.
