My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi! I am Stitch!

ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I’m a boy! 💙

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
About one year old!

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
French Bulldog

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
A petite 23 pounds! The perfect size to pick up and snuggle (one of my favorite activities).

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I’m adorable, if I do say so myself. I’m a fawn Frenchie with a perfect little nub tail. 😍

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I love my Hills Science Diet Healthy Mobility kibble, but I also love when my foster mom gives me chicken, rice, steak, cheese… I haven’t tried anything I don’t like yet.

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am a sweetheart! I just love everyone I meet, dogs or humans! I’m quiet for the most part, but occasionally I will use my voice. When I do talk, I sound a lot like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Hey... I think that’s how I got my name!🤭

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
That’s an easy question, because I am easy to please! I just want to be invited to the party. When my foster mom works from home, I will lay right by her feet and follow her around the house when she gets up. But when she goes to the office, I’m also great in the crate! My doggy foster sisters are so much fun to be around, too. They are a little older than me, but I like to match their energy. When they want to play, I’m game! But I also love a good snuggle session when they are worn out. Are there going to be a lot of treats on this perfect day? 😊

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Oh! I LOVE my Benebone. I could just chew on it for hours. 🦴

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I like to sit like a human! When it’s time to wake up in the morning, I just sit quietly in my crate and stare at my foster mom until she wakes up. I also walk right into my crate when it is time for sleeps, and I know my spot to go to for breakfast and dinner. I am so smart, right?!?

WHAT SCARES YOU?
Not much scares me. I’m a pretty easy-going little guy.

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I have and I LOVE them so much! 💞

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Hmmm, I haven’t met any yet. What’s a cat?

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I love dogs!🐶

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Snuggling with my human. I’m super affectionate. 🥰

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
The doctor said I have IVDD, which is a disc disease that is common in Frenchies. After I was rescued by NorCal Bully Breed Rescue, I took some time off from my super busy schedule to rest, and now I am doing great! I do have a little “hitch in my giddy-up” that just adds to my overall adorableness. (Who would’ve thought it was possible for me to be even CUTER!?) I can walk, run, and play just fine, but it is something to keep in mind to make sure I don’t get TOO excited and try to do some silly acrobatics. So, I shouldn’t be playing “Superman” and flying off the bed, but we will still have SO much fun! Also, when I was neutered, the doctor discovered I needed BOAS surgery to help me breathe better. I’ve healed wonderfully, and my foster mom says I don’t even snore anymore!

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and my two foster sisters: a Pit Bull and an American Bully. I love my foster sisters, but I think my foster mom is my favorite! I just like to be anywhere she is.

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
My foster mom puts me in my crate to keep me safe.

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate.😴

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I do, but it’s best to walk me with a harness and not just a collar.🦮

DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I’m a pretty gosh darn good boy, if I do say so myself! 😇

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Oh yes, I’m a big boy. When you take me outside, I know it’s potty time. But because of my IVDD, I don’t always know when to stop. Stay outside with me for a bit to let me get it all out!

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I cannot swim, but I am good in the bath!🛁

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I feel safe there and I have a routine. It didn’t take me very long to feel comfortable and let my true personality come out. Also, my foster mom loves snuggles as much as I do!

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
Oh, I don’t like to think about that too much. My previous family dropped me off at Animal Control to be euthanized because I was having a hard time walking. Luckily, NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me in! I was on crate rest for two months when I first arrived at the rescue, and that helped my back legs. I’m doing much better now. I’m so thankful that they saw my potential! And now it’s time for me to find a family that will love me and keep me safe. Will you please show me what it is like to have a family that will 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.)

Adoption application

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.
