WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Nacho!! Look at me? I’m delicious!
ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I’m a handsome boy!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I think I am around three years old.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
100% hunk, obviously! But also… I had my DNA tested and I am American Bulldog, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Bully, and American Staffordshire Terrier. Look at me, a perfect mix of all the American bully breeds!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am a big, beautiful 70 pounds of love.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I’m a big, blocky-headed goofy boy! I’m brown/brindle mix with white marks on my chest and gorgeous hazel eyes. I’m really quite beautiful, if I do say so myself (and everyone who sees me agrees, of course!)
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Just about everything! I’ll do anything for treats.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am goofy, playful , sweet, and loyal. Once I bond with you, we are besties. I have a lot of energy, so I’d love someone who likes to play with me and teach me things. But, don’t get me wrong, when it is time to nap, I will cuddle like it is my professional calling. You won’t need one of those weighted blankets with me around!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day is going on a long walk at the river! I love playing in the water and playing with other dogs.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love all toys, but I’m a big fan of playing with balls, especially the ones with squeakers. I also love to play tug of war with any kind of toy. I’m just a very playful boy, so I will enjoy anything that you give me!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
Yes! I am an extremely fast learner. I’ve learned “sit,” “stay,” “lay down,” and “gentle.” I am also learning, “Leave it,” “Shake,” “Roll over,” and “Give me a kiss!”
I can also jam my big booty on your lap even in a small chair! I totally fit….
WHAT SCARES YOU?
A world without treats.
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I LOVE children, but I sometimes get a little too excited around little ones. I have puppy energy and I’m a big boy. Although I’m working REALLY hard on not jumping and I’m getting better, I would need some more work before I should be off-leash around small children. I’m also a little mouthy still, so toys are a good distraction.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I get a little too excited about cats so no thanks, I’ll pass.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I love other dogs! I love them so much that the shelter used me to test other dogs’ dog-friendliness. I’m still learning how to give dogs their space when they’re done playing, so sometimes we take a time out. In my current foster home, I have played nicely with dogs of all sizes. Dogs are so fun!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Anywhere my people are, but especially outside playing in the yard with them. I like playing fetch and love playing in the hose.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
Good! One of my back legs is shorter than the other, maybe from an injury when I was a baby, but it doesn’t slow me down. Foster mom is a runner and I get to go running with her all the time! I love it!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I love my foster mom but that’s probably just because she gives me treats. I have three foster brothers and a sister. I play with the boys, but the lady dog doesn’t like playing. My foster brother, Squish, is my favorite, he lets me lay on him.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I hang out in my crate. I am fine hanging out there for a few hours while my humans are away or at work.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes! I’m excellent on a leash.
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
I can be mouthy when I’m excited or if I want to play with my humans, but I’m learning how to be gentler. I sometimes jump on humans and counter surf if there is food out but I’m getting better at that as well.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
I’m usually good about pottying outside, but I have occasional accidents in the house. I need a good routine!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I LOVE water. It’s the best thing ever. Drinking it, wading in it, playing in the hose stream. It’s so so fun.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that they take me for walks, they are teaching me a lot of good lessons on how to behave, and they play fetch with me. I also love snuggling with them at the end of the day or any time I’m allowed. I do like to snuggle!
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE COMING TO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was found roaming the streets of the Oceanview neighborhood of San Francisco. I had an injury on my head and my back leg. But I’m pretty much over it and on the go! I am ready to find my forever family and live the rest of my fabulous life with someone who will love me as much as I love them.

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.
