ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am the cutest little boy you’ll ever meet!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
My birthdate is September 21, 2022.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a French Bulldog.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh approximately 25 pounds. A little nugget!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am the most handsome gentleman! I have a black and caramel brindle coat with the sweetest brown eyes. My cleft lip is just adorable (if I do say so myself) and makes my smile guaranteed to melt your heart.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Because of my cleft palate, I stick to my kibble and I LOVE IT! I should not eat any soft food and, quite frankly, I don’t even know what the fuss is since I have never had it. I am totally happy to eat my kibble as training treats throughout the day. And I also love the occasional blueberry and I definitely enjoy participating in collection of the "cheese tax" at foster mom's lunchtime!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am super spunky! I am always in a great mood and ready to play. I love to explore new places. I play a lot, but I also LOVE my sleepy time! I am so cuddly, you will always find me sprawled across my human or curled up next to another dog.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
First, it is potty time! Next, I get to eat breakfast and then it is time for a walk to explore the world. After my walk, it is definitely PLAY TIME! Then when my friends and I are all tuckered out, I settle down for a long, fabulous nap. I wake up for potty breaks and maybe some yard exploration, but I am totally content to hang out and sleep most of the day. In the evening, it is dinner time, play time, and then more sleepy time! I’m a simple guy with simple pleasures.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
My absolute favorite toy is a little Kong tire that I hang out with every time I am lying down. I always fall asleep with it in my mouth—like a big pacifier! I also love Benebones and tennis balls! I will chase whatever toy is rolled across the floor for me.
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
Yes! I am such a smart boy! I know sit, shake, down, spin, high five, peekaboo, paws up on a platform, leave it, and lots of other super fun tricks! it. I look forward to my tricks training every night because I just love to learn (and I love treats, obviously)!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Nothing! I am a brave, happy-go-lucky boy!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I have been around kids of all sizes, and I love EVERYONE! I am gentle and cuddly so there are no concerns about whether I will be a good boy with children.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I have not been around cats.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
Oh boy, doggy friends are the BEST! I play well with big dogs and little dogs. I love to have playmates to run around with!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I will be happy anywhere, as long as I can be with my forever family who will love me, feed me, and cuddle with me.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I have a cleft palate and cleft lip, but that just makes me look adorable and really only affects the types of food that I eat. Also, I am on medicine to help control seizures because there’s some funny wiring in my head that sometimes goes on the fritz. But the medicine has been really helpful and, thankfully, those things don’t happen quite as much anymore. And, from what the humans around me have said, the medication is not very expensive (maybe $30 to $40 per month), so that aspect of my future medical care is easy to handle. I do need someone who understands my special needs. But my special needs just make me that much more special, in my opinion! Foster mom says, “He is SO worth it,” and I agree!
WHO DO LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and I have two doggy foster sisters and a doggy foster brother. I would say my favorite companion is my foster mom because she feeds me, teaches me how to be a good puppy, and keeps me safe. My second closest companion is my foster sister who is another Frenchie and we love to play every chance we get.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I have a super comfy pen where I am safe and cozy.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my cozy pen.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I am SO good on my walks! Walks are one of my favorite things to do!
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
There’s nothing “not so great” about me! I am just fabulous (yeah, I am bragging on myself again)!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING, DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE?)
Did I mention how smart I am? Yeah, I have the whole potty training thing mastered.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
Water is great to drink, but that’s about the end of my affection for it. I am a good boy in the bath, but if I had my choice, I would skip that altogether. I do not swim, so I should not be around pools or spas to keep me safe.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I get lots of love from my foster mom and I get to play as much as possible with my doggy foster siblings.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
Because of my cleft palate and lip, I was surrendered by a breeder when I was first born. So for my whole little life, I have been lucky to have the nurturing and love provided to me by NBBR. But it is time for me to find my own family. Will you take me home with you 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.
