ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am, quite possibly, the handsomest boy ever!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
We estimate that I was born in late 2020/early 2021.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a Great Dane!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am a svelte and stunning 130 pounds.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am tall and picturesque, with long legs and a beautiful silky, grey coat with white markings on my feet, belly, and neck. Some might say my eyes are my best feature.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I eat the lamb Taste of the Wild dog food. As a special treat, I love hot dogs. And, if you are so inclined to expand the available options for treats, I would certainly not turn you down!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I look much more serious than I am. I am gentle giant and a lap dog at heart. Making you laugh every day is my goal!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
I am happiest wherever my human is. I’m easy to please—just a walk, chasing a ball in the yard, and snuggling on the couch sounds perfect to me!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Anything soft with a squeaker. Those are the MOST fun!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I know sit, come, and lay down. I like to be in my dog bed, so I have perfected the trick of going there if you tell me.
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I am really not a fan of being left alone and loud noises. I have some separation anxiety that could improve over time as I get more comfortable and with training. But, for now, I ask that you are patient with me. I just want to be with you!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I have met lots of kids, and I have done great! I am very gentle, but do not fully grasp how big I am, so I would probably do best in a home with older children.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I haven’t met any.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I love them! My foster sister is the one in charge and I always listen to her. I get to snuggle with her when she lets me and we love to play chase in the yard.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Oh that’s easy… I would love to be on the couch with my people.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am in excellent heath!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and dad and dog foster sister, who is a cattle dog mix. I love my foster dad best, but I’ve never met a person I didn’t like.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I am in my crate while I learn to not be so anxious by myself.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate. I don’t love going in there at night, but I am a good boy, so I follow instructions. I have also slept on a bed on the floor of my foster parents’ room a few times.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes, I love going for walks! I’m still working on leash manners and do a lot of bumping into my humans because there is so much to smell and the world is so exciting!
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I don’t want to be left alone, so I bark when the humans leave and I have to go in my crate. Maybe you and I can work on this together?
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Heck yeah! I’ve had no accidents in the house. Just show me where to go and I’m on it!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I have had a few baths and will get in the tub when asked. I don’t like it, but I wait patiently until it’s done and then get the zoomies. I also waded into a creek once on a walk… that was pretty fun!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that I can cuddle with them on the couch! Human contact (i.e., lots of cuddles and pets) is the best part of my day. I also like that someone from my house is usually working from home, so I have some company.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?
I am so excited for what lies ahead for me. Perhaps you and I can explore what the future would look like together? I can’t wait to spend forever with you!

*** 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.
