WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi, my name is Mazie! My foster mom says that is short for “Amazing,” because I was able to keep my eight puppies alive in freezing temperatures for about six weeks after they were born outside. I gave them everything I had. Yup, I’m AMAZING!
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a young lady.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Best estimate is that I’m around two years old.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
Oh I am the most adorable little mix… something scruffy mixed with pit bull. And what a combination of cuteness I turned out to be!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh 45 pounds!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have the cutest little scruffy face with gentle, adoring eyes. My body is lean with a wiry brindle and white coat, and I have a happy little half-cropped tail.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I enjoy my kibble for breakfast and dinner, and I am always happy to have a yummy topper of freshpet food or plain greek yogurt. Oh that makes me feel so special!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am loving and a bit submissive. You can see my gentle nature just by looking into my eyes. I am the sweetest girl with a huge heart.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY?
After a yummy breakfast, I love to go out to play in the yard…maybe I will get to chase some squirrels! After all that fun, I enjoy a nap before I get to go for a walk and run around the property some more before dinner. After dinner, it’s lazy lounge-around time with the humans until bedtime. What a fun-filled day!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
My favorite toys have super fun crinkly stuff inside. Oh that sound makes me so happy while I play with them!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I am such a polite little girl as I sit and wait for my food. And I am really good at playing fetch! It’s so much fun! I am working on some basic obedience and am a work in progress, but I am proud to say that I am very good listener, so I am pretty teachable!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Loud noises make me uncomfortable. And I am a little unsure about meeting new people. So be patient with me, as it takes a little bit for me to warm up to people. But once I feel safe, I will love you forever.
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I have enjoyed hanging around with some kids and teenagers since I’ve been in my foster home!
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
The cat in my foster home isn’t quite feeling the love for me yet. We are still getting acquainted. It may just be a matter of time, but I am hoping I can convince her to let me be her friend.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
In addition to my puppies, I have met other adult dogs and I did great! Ima very friendly, well-behaved girl!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I would love to be with a family who loves me and will never let me go. Oh, and my other favorite place to be is outside where I can explore and chase those pesky squirrels!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am hearty, healthy, and full of energy.
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster parents. Three of my puppies are still with me and they are my closest companions. There is also a cat named Winnie and a Tortoise named Spike.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I am safe and comfortable in my crate when the humans leave us home alone.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate in my foster parents’ room.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I do very well on a leash! I walk like the polite little lady that I am, with no pulling.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I don't know what possesses me, but occasionally I'll shred a bed. What can I say, I’m still a puppy at heart!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yes! My foster parents take me out frequently so I don't have indoor accidents. And now I am learning how to use the doggie door to go outside!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I haven’t been around water since it has been so cold out. It looks like fun!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that my foster family gives me lots of attention to make me feel secure. They spend a lot of time with me and are patient while I’m learning the rules. They love me and my pups.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I'm not sure what happened, but I found myself and my babies living in an industrial complex in a bush. We made the best of it and called it home, but life is so much better since NorCal Bully Breed Rescue brought us to a safe foster home. And I know that now I will find the perfect family that will love me forever. Maybe you will help me learn what it feels like to be loved?

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.
