Introducing the fabulous Italian brother and sister duo, Cairo and Cleo.
🐕🐕🐾🐾🐕🐕🐾🐾🐕🐕🐾🐾
They come together as a very precious package 🎁 deal! In short, the duo could be described as the following anecdote… If this was the world of Wizard of Oz, Cleo would be Toto 🐶 and Cairo would be the sweet lion 🦁 who just needs to find his courage.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Cleo and Cairo are both about a year old.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
Cairo is a tall and handsome boy and may be around 100 pounds right now.
Cleo is close behind with estimated 70 pounds of pure beauty!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
Cairo is tall, dark gray and sinfully handsome, with absolutely mesmerizing large gray eyes!
Cleo is an all-around black beauty, with brown eyes and only few white hairs on her chest. She looks like a puma and is as nimble as a cat too!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Both are good with kibble and love apples 🍎 These two cuties are both very healthy eaters!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
Cleo is the team manager, that’s for sure! She is outgoing, super friendly, and curious. As the leader, she may be demanding from time to time, and has a slight difficulty with separation from her human parent. For example, she will not stay outside for long unless her foster mom is there too. She would rather be at home watching you work, nap or play with her toys.
Our baby Cairo is the sweetest thing! But he is also super shy. He is afraid of almost everything he sees for the first time. Cairo relies on his sister, Cleo, for emotional support, and is very submissive to her, as well as anything and everyone else. However, after Cairo gets comfortable in his surroundings, he becomes like a little puppy again, playing and having fun.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY
Happy days are pretty easily achieved. The two love to wake up early for a big breakfast.
Throughout the day, they like to take naps and play with their foster sister, Daisy. Play time involves running and chasing each other around, chewing on hard toys, playing tug-of-war games, and splashing in a pool. More naps throughout the day followed by a big dinner🥩. Most of all, they love to be with their human!! 👧 👦🏼
Cleo enjoys walks 🐕 either with just her foster mom or as a trio when foster sister Daisy joins the fun.
Cairo prefers to stay home and watch the world from the safety of his couch. He loves to watch the activities happening in the neighborhood.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Cairo and Cleo love their chew toys.
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
The pups are working hard on the basics, including learning to sit and shake your hand. They are very well-behaved as they wait for a treat or bath. 🦴 🛁
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Cairo is uncertain about a lot of things in the world and needs to gain confidence so he will be more comfortable with the goings-on in everyday life. Cleo is fearless!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN, DO YOU LIKE THEM?
The pups are naturally very kindhearted and gentle. However, due to their size, a home with older children, or no children, may be a better fit than with small children.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Cleo and Cairo have ignored cats that they have come across while in foster care.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
These two LOVE other dogs! 👍
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Both Cleo and Cairo love to be with their humans. They are attentive and loyal and make wonderful companions.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? ⭐️
Both dogs are strong and healthy. Cleo does have a small “cherries” in her eyes, but they do not obstruct her vision or bother her at all.
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
Cleo and Cairo live with their foster mom and foster sister Daisy. The dogs love to play and spend time together.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
Both Cleo and Cairo are crate trained so they nap in their trusty crates when they are home alone.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
The pups love to sleep in their special safe space, aka their crates. 😴 💤
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON THE LEASH?
Cairo is not comfortable with walking out in the big scary world yet. He doesn’t mind the leash, but until he is more confident, walks are a bit overwhelming. Cleo LOVES her walks.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, FOR INSTANCE DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
Cairo uses gentle nibbling on blankets or other objects as a soothing mechanism. He is easily diverted from it by being presented with a toy he could use instead.
Cleo is bit lazy and will relieve herself in places just outside the door, even if the space outside the door is only the garage. She just interprets “go outside” literally to mean just not inside the house. Cleo is also very curious and likes to snoop around in places that foster mom says she does not belong.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?
Both dogs are house trained, with Cleo taking the “in the house” versus “outside the house” directive literally (see above).
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
Both dogs LOVE water! Cairo is much more excited to play in the water and Cleo does better with baths than Cairo, but overall, both take to water very well. 💦 💧
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
The dogs love the attention they get from their foster mom and are very responsive to her discipline and routine. She gives them lots of love 💕 and affection but does not let them get away with any shenanigans either. 👏
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NOR CAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
These two gorgeous pups were found roaming the streets all by themselves. Cairo may be still suffering from PTSD from that, and this is why possibly he is not thrilled about taking walks outside of his safe space. No other information is known about the sweet pups.
⭐️⭐️Cleo and Cairo are a bonded pair and their adoption fee is $500 (for both dogs). ⭐️⭐️

‼️At this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas.‼️

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.
