What is your name?
My foster moms have been calling me Mustang Sally (cue music!)
How old are you?
I am a 9 year old pitty girl.
How much do you weigh?
I last weighed in at 52lbs, but hope I have plumped up a bit since getting fed regularly.
What do you look like?
I am a beautiful gray and white girl.
What do you like to eat?
I like to eat good portions of food, treats, and pupcakes if you’ll make them. I also love to eat the remains of the lamb bones my foster brother gets.
What kind of personality do you have?
I like any pets and booty scratches I can get, long naps all day, toys and bones I can chew on, and to just be close to humans. When I get really excited, I will let out a cute little howl to let you know I still have a voice.
Describe your perfect day:
My perfect day is sleeping in and waking up to my breakfast waiting for me, chilling in the shade getting lots of loves and maybe a bone to chew on, a short walk with a long nap afterwards; I just want to be close and get my beauty sleep. My nickname around my foster home is Sleeping Beauty because I really take my sleep seriously.
What is your favorite toy?
I like any toy my foster brother is playing with or a kong with some yummy treats.
Do you know any tricks?
I still know sit and down, but need coaxing with some yummy treats.
What scares you?
I am not a fan of the hose and I am just not comfortable with humans touching my feet yet, but I am working on it.
Have you been around children? Do you like them?
I have been around a 2 year-old girl and just licked her feet. I’ve also been around other small children (4 and 5 years old) and I didn’t mind them either. I’m always looking for new friends.
Do you like cats?
I haven’t been around cats, but when I pass them on my walks I just watch them go by.
How do you feel about other dogs?
I get along great with my foster brother and sister, a German shepherd and a shitzu-poodle.
If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If I could be anywhere in the world, I would want to be inside laying by your side.
How is your health?
I can’t hear that well so I really appreciate my foster mom waking me up with soft pets and ear rubs. I am eating and drinking well. My hips hurt sometimes, but I still have a pep in my step and still love to play.
Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion?
I have been living with my foster brother and sister, a German shepherd, Ranger, and a shitzu, Chai.
I love playing with Ranger, but need frequent breaks because I tire easily. He and I get along really well and I enjoy his company. Chai doesn’t show much interest in me so I just leave her alone.
Where do you hang out when you are home alone?
I either hang out outside on my cot or on really hot days I sleep inside in the kitchen on my bed.
Where do you sleep?
I prefer the outdoors on my cot, but I love coming in with my foster brother and sister and getting cozy on my indoor bed.
Do you like walking on a leash?
I have felt really comfortable being at my foster home because they take me on walks with the other dogs; I may walk slow, but it feels good to stretch my legs. I don’t like to go far because I get tired fast. With some time and much needed rest, I have started to find my groove again.
Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard?
I don’t bark. In the beginning, I started to chew on the screen door, but I was quickly taught that that wasn’t ok and my foster mom took the screen door off; no other issues since - I really just go with the flow and enjoy my freedom outside.
Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside)
I am house trained!!
What do you love about your foster family?
I love my foster family for taking me in when I was wandering the streets and didn’t know where to go. They have provided food, water, love, and a safe place for me to be while I wait patiently for my forever home to live out my best doggy days being spoiled.

Additional adoption info
*** You MUST live within the immediate Sacramento area which includes Sacramento County, parts of Placer and parts of ElDorado County.
ADOPTION PROCESS:
The first step in the adoption process is the completion of our online adoption application. You will be able to fill it out online and email it back to us. If you have any questions regarding your application, we are here to answer them. If you do not live within our specified area, your application will not be reviewed.
The second step is the home check. Our main priority in this step is insuring that your yard is 100% secure - there can be no loose boards or gaps in your fencing. If your dog is going to be spending anytime outside while you are at work or away from home, we ask that you have adequate shade or shelter from the elements.Before we schedule a home check, we may ask you to send us photos of your yard/fencing to get an idea of where the dog will be living. If you have any hesitation or questions about our yard check, please see our section on "How to Prepare for a Home Check."
The last step in the adoption process is the meet and greet. This is where we meet with you and any existing pets to ensure proper introductions are made. We want to make sure everyone gets along. Once all introductions are made, and everyone gets along, your rescue dog is yours to adopt.
Please note that there is no pressure involved, and if a situation that cannot be resolved arises, we will always take our dog back. Also, be aware that there is an acclimation period for each dog and every dog is different. It can take a few days or a few weeks for your new dogs to settle in. We will assist in any way possible, including referring our trainer to come work with you and the dog.
ADOPTION PREREQUISITES:
All of our dogs are rescues, meaning they have already needed help in some way, and will only go to homes where they will live a "CHARMED LIFE." All of our adoptive dogs will be indoor dogs with outdoor privileges. We believe that dogs are family members, and should be allowed to sleep indoors.The only time they should be kept outdoors is if the weather permits. Any applications looking for an outdoor only dog will be denied. All current pets in your home need to be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on heartworm preventive. Out of area adoptions are within reason and on a case-by-case basis.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A HOME CHECK:
Walk the perimeter of your yard. Take notes on the condition of your fence. Are there any loose boards or gaps under any sections of you fencing? If yes, these are easy fixes. You can nail any loose board back into place, and you can fill any gaps with pavers and gravel Do you have a lock on your gate? If not, please purchase one prior to your home check. Is there adequate shade or shelter for your new dog if it is going to be left outdoors while you're at work? Do you have anything hazardous in your yard, i.e. nails sticking out, chemicals left out, etc? Do you have a cat? If so, does your cat have a high spot it can retreat to if being chased? Are your garbage cans located somewhere near a gate where a dog can jump into them to get out? If so please move them. Please address these issues prior to our visit.
ADOPTION FEES:
All of our dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to being adopted. Our adoption fees are considered to be donations. All donations from adoption go right back into our rescue account, allowing us to continue to help dogs in need. At the bare minimum, the cost to properly vet a dog is $100. But some of the dogs we take on are medical cases, which can cost several thousand dollars. Because of this, we ask the following adoption fees:
$500 for puppies, which are any dogs under a year old
$300 for most adult dogs aged 1 year or older.
(French/English Bulldogs fees are significantly higher and are explained on our website.)

More about this rescue
NorCal Bully Breed Rescue (NBBR) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to helping needy animals in our community. While our focus is on "bully breeds," we don't discriminate and will very often help dogs of any breed, provided we have a foster home available. We take in dogs from local shelters with a focus on those with medical challenges and those whose behavior is declining due to the stress of the shelter environment. These are the dogs most often overlooked and in need of the most help.
NBBR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, our tax ID # is 46-3665141. Your donations are fully tax deductible and fund our operations and help pay our vet expenses.
NBBR is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless pets through the spaying/neutering of all of our rescued dogs and through education on the importance of spaying/neutering all animals. We provide information on low cost or no cost spay/neuter clinics in our surrounding areas.
Each dog that comes to us has been temperament tested, updated on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Many of our dogs have also been treated for various medical conditions including mange, heartworms, broken bones, neurological issues, and many others. One of our dogs can take anywhere from one month to one year to get ready for adoption and the cost for the dogs we take on can range from $100 to several thousand dollars. We take on dogs from shelters that are set to be euthanized for various reasons, including simply that they've been there too long, or they have a medical condition that precludes them from adoption to the public, making them "rescue only." This means only a rescue can pull them from the shelter, but also leaves us to be responsible for any costs to be incurred by said rescue dog.
We also take on strays and incur the cost of having them vaccinated, spayed, neutered and microchipped. We will help dogs who owners can no longer provide care by networking their dog, provided the owner can continue to house the dog. We insure a safe house for all of the dogs that we take on and provide all needed supplies for the foster homes that care for them until they are to be adopted. We also insure that they never end up in a shelter, running the risk of being euthanized due to lack of space or due to becoming "aggressive" caused by the stress of being in a shelter environment.
