ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am the most adorable baby girl! 🎀
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am about 10 or 11 months old!
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a perfect little bully mix. 😍
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
32 lbs of compact sweetness!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am the most adorable mix of mismatched features! I have the head of a big dog, but my body is a whole different story! My paws are squishy and huge, and I look like a hot rod as my back end is taller than my front, but it’s all neatly packaged in a petite body! I am mostly white with one bullseye brown spot over my eye! 🐶
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I have my kibble, but I am learning from my doggy foster brother to eat Greek yogurt, blueberries, carrots, bananas, broccoli, green beans - all the healthy stuff! I even learned how to catch blueberries in my mouth, which is an improvement over when they used to just hit me on the head before. 🤭 I also love the peanut butter biscuits we get for our nightly treat!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am still young, so I'm a go with the flow kinda girl! I am really mellow and easy to redirect. I am taking cues from my foster brother, and he is helping me learn the ropes of how to be a good dog. I am curious, loving and easygoing! I make some pretty funny noises when I’m happy, kind of like a baby dinosaur (at least that’s what foster mom says). Super cute, right? 🥰
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
Everyday is a perfect day and it starts with MORNING, my favorite time of day! Once I am out of my crate, I go up on the bed, roll over on my back, and start air boxing and making my pterodactyl snorts and chortles! After morning cuddles, we eat, go potty and head off to the park for quick playtime. The rest of the day is lounging around while the humans work and playing with my foster brother. Life is so fun!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
B-A-L-L-S! I am crazy for BALLS! I love to hold them in my mouth and walk around with them. I also love the stuffies with the crinkle sounds – those keep me entertained! 🎾
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
Well, I can probably make you give me a treat by sitting down, so who's tricking who?! I have learned to sit when going in and out of the house or door, and now you don’t even have to ask me! I understand ‘’bed’’ and ‘’crate’’ too! When it is nighttime, I jump into my crate happily!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I have not come across anything that scares me yet!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I have come across children on my walks and am interested in them when I see them from afar. I think I would be great with children; I am not jumpy or mouthy at all, just very easygoing.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Yes, I have two kitties in my foster home – we all get along great! I am learning to sit still when they get their treats and not try to take it from them, and if my doggy foster brother can do it, so can I! One of my kitty sisters even goes on pack walks with us! 🐱
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I am completely submissive with other dogs, as I am just a puppy and, in fact, I would love another dog in my new home! A playmate would be the best! 🐶
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Where all the feet and legs are! If you are working, I’ll be right beside you. If you’re on the couch, I’ll be on your lap. If you are walking around, I’ll follow you from room to room. I LOVE my people, but I also love going to the park to play with my BALLS!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am a healthy girl thanks to my foster family and NorCal Bully Breed Rescue taking such great care of me! But since I have such short legs and the way my body is proportioned, it’s hard for me to ascend and descend a lot of stairs, so maybe a single story house might be best for me… unless you want to carry me up and down the stairs, which I have to admit, I kind of enjoy. 🤭
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
My favorite person is my foster dad, because I stayed with him in his office the first two weeks here. I have a foster mom, a doggy foster brother, two kitty foster sisters, and two 21-year-old humans all to myself!
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
There have only been a few times I have actually been alone, but I stay in my crate next to my foster parents’ bed. I did just fine because I’m a brave girl!
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
In my crate right next to my foster parents bed. They put a dark sheet over it at night, and I have a bed and a blanket in there, but I don’t really like to burrow as I tend to run hot.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes, especially if we’re headed to the park to play BALL! I get a little excited and tend to pull when it is park time. Can you blame me, though? It’s the park and a ball!🤩
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Yes, I am a thief of socks! I also have a tendency to “disassemble” my tennis balls. 😜 Other than that, I might need normal puppy redirection, but really I am such a very a good girl!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
I am working on alerting my foster family that I have to go out. We don’t have a yard at my foster home, but my family takes me outside every two hours or so. Once outside, they say “go potty’ and I do my business! What a smart little girl I am, right?
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I endure a bath like a champ, especially because I know a fabulous towel massage is coming, but this is not a body for swimming. Please keep me safe from pools!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
They have all shown me so much love and made me a part of their family. They gave me time to decompress and heal, and now I feel great! We go everywhere together: for walks, to the park, to the levee, the local breweries … and everywhere I go, people just want to pet me because I’m the cutest thing they’ve ever seen! 😍
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I’m not quite sure, actually. All I know is I ended up at a shelter feeling pretty itchy and lousy until NorCal Bully Breed Rescue saved me. My foster family has taken such good care of me so now I feel GREAT, I love life, and I am ready for my forever to start! I would love to meet you and come home with you so we can spend forever together. What do you think? Yeah? Let’s go! 💕

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.
