Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi! My Name is Angelo!
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a playful, happy young boy!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Best guess is I am around two years old!
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a Pit Bull (Staffy) mix!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
A nice and healthy 63 pounds!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am such a handsome boy! I have beautiful white fur with some super cute brown spots around my ears. Oh, and MY EARS... My ears are just AMAZING! My right ear has a mind of its own, always up for a party. And I have such an infectious smile. Every day is a happy new adventure, and my smile shows that I am ready for it!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I love my kibble and treats, but I also love liver, hot dogs, and especially peanut butter! OK, so yeah, I am not going to be particular about food. I love it ALL!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I'm happy, affectionate, and playful. I am always up for a good time! Let's go meet some people! Let's go play with some dogs! Or, if you are feeling like some quiet time, I am SO ready for cuddles!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY.
I am happy with anything you want to do, but since you are asking for MY preferences... Let's start the day off right! A nice walk or jog to get the sleepies out. Then it's breakfast time, followed by a cozy nap. I would love to go on an adventure in the car or even another walk later in the day! The rest of the best day ever would, of course, involve more food, lots of playtime, and then the day ends with cuddles before bedtime.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love to play with plushies! For some reason, the humans don't want me to pull the stuffing out... But isn't that what the stuffing is for?? If I don't have a plushie, I also love playing with my Kong toy filled with peanut butter.
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I have good recall if you just give me a whistle! I also know the basics... sit and stay, and I am always up for learning. I just need some guidance from you, and I am totally teachable!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Not a lot scares me, including fireworks and vacuums! What a brave boy, right? Sometimes I am uncomfortable with loud voices, but that's just because I am such a happy boy, and I can't understand why anyone would be yelling like that!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
Yes, I have! I am actually very well-mannered around kids, but young ones may get me a bit overexcited, so I do best with older kids!
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
No, thanks. I’ll pass!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
Oh boy! I just LOVE other dogs and am always up to play or hang out with them!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
First, I would always want to be wherever my humans are, of course. And if the humans happened to be at the park or a beach, that would be even better!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I'm a very healthy boy!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR
CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster parents, their young adult son, and my doggy foster brother and sister. I would say I'm closest to my foster mom because she keeps me safe, gives me lots of love, and has shown me how to be such a good boy!
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
When I am home alone, I hang out in my crate with my toys and spend most of my time napping.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate or on the floor next to my foster dad's bed.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I love walking on a leash or on a harness. I just love being out and about sniffing and exploring! My foster family says I walk great!
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Hmm... I'm pretty close to perfect if I do say so myself! But I think if you asked my foster mom, she would say something about jumping up on people when I get excited. Ummm... yeah! I have to show you how happy I am to see you! But foster mom says that I am a big boy so I need to tone it down a little. I am working hard on it and will find other ways to show you I love you when I am greeting you.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yes! I'm perfectly house trained and will always let my family know when I need to potty.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I am such a good boy in the bath and enjoy going into the water at the beach. I'm up for anything, including water fun!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that my foster family loves ME! They make sure that I am safe, that I have enough food to eat, give me lots of cuddles, and they take me on walks so I can explore the world.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
Nobody really knows how my first year went, but my foster family found me abandoned and hiding when they were out hiking one day. They took me home and reached out to NorCal Bully Breed rescue for help finding my forever home. I have learned what real love feels like and I am SO excited to find a family of my own. Are you willing to take me home and love me forever?

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.
