Story

🐾 Meet Nugget: The Loyal Couch Potato with a Sprinkler Obsession 🐾 Location: Lakewood, CA Not a fan of small talk or chaotic energy? Perfect—Nugget isn’t either. He’s the introvert’s dream bestie: chill, respectful, and always down for a peaceful walk (he’s got leash manners that would make your grandma proud). Nugget is a medium-energy dude who lives for the simple pleasures in life: ☀️ Sunbathing like he’s on a doggie vacation 🌱 Splooting and rolling in grass like it’s his personal spa 💦 Waging war with the sprinkler (and loving every minute) 🍖 Devouring snacks with Olympic-level enthusiasm He’s crate trained, knows his boundaries, and appreciates structure. Social butterfly? Not so much. More like a slow-burning candle of loyalty and love. Nugget takes his time getting to know you, but once you’re “his person,” it’s game over—you’ve got a full-blown cuddle bug on your hands. We’re talking lean-in-for-scratches, melty-eyed affection, and loyalty for life. Dog-friendly? You bet. Just give him time to warm up with proper intros and you’ll see him do the polite tail wag of approval. Sound like your kind of wingman?

Story

🌟 Meet Coco – The Fluffy Pitty with a Heart of Gold! 💛 Straight outta Kern County and straight into our hearts, Coco is a 6-year-old, 55lb bundle of pure sunshine who’s been living her best post-shelter life since August 14th! ☀️ We’re not totally sure what mix of magic she’s made of (seriously, your guess is as good as ours 😅), but one thing’s for sure — this “fluffy pitty” is 100% good vibes only. Coco is sweet as candy, friendly with other dogs, crate-trained, and struts her stuff on leash like she’s walking a red carpet. 🎬 She’s happiest when she’s with her people, soaking up cuddles and love like it’s her full-time job. 💕 She is in a loving foster home where she can keep shining bright until her forever family finds her. Could that be you? ✨ #RescueDog #FluffyPitty #AdoptDontShop #FosterLove #CaliforniaBullyRescue

Story

Meet Bunny — the shelter’s former “most likely to steal your heart” AND a certified volunteer favorite! This compact little potato was running out of time, but we scooped her up just in time, and wow… are we glad we did. At 4 years old, she’s the perfect mix of playful fun without that wild puppy energy. Think: adventure buddy, couch cuddler, and snack enthusiast all in one adorable package. Bunny comes spayed, polished, and ready to roll. She even had a little chest lump removed during her spay — which turned out to be a mast cell tumor, but don’t worry! It was completely removed with clean margins, and she’s now living her healthiest, happiest life. Personality-wise? Bunny is a sunshine beam. Friendly, wiggly, and absolutely thrilled to meet new people. She also did great with other dogs in the shelter and seems especially well-paired with male pups. Basically: Bunny = A+ good girl. Come meet her and let her work her magic. 🌟🐾

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Mia - The one, the only, the miracle mutt! This 38 pound cutie was past due for euthanasia and was saved in the nick of time #euthlistsurvivor. At just 2 years old she has a heck of a lot more life to live! Mia loves to start her day off by giving her people lots of love and wiggles. As soon as you start walking towards her food for breakfast you can expect her dancing to begin. It’s guaranteed to make you smile! While Mia is protective of the home, she is a very chill princess inside! She loves watching tv (yes full on invested in plots and all) and laying on the couch with her ball. Anything Food Network is sure to grab her attention. She is a very silly girl who loves to play and chew on her toys (certified super chewer). If you need some comedic relief, she’s the girl for you. No furry roommates please - Mia is her best self when she’s the only pet around. Kids? Mia loves meeting them but is best suited for a house with kids ages 10+ only due to her playful, jumpy personality. Mia is still working on her leash training. While she does deal with heightened anxiety outdoors, the right person can help her feel at ease. Mia has a super stylish pink muzzle that protects her #gooddogswearmuzzles or her favorite ball will do the job to keep her mouth occupied when she gets spooked. Her trainer verified that it’s more than just a ball, it’s her anxiety relief. A calm neighborhood or open park is the ideal place to walk Mia - busy streets and complexes can be overwhelming for this shelter survivor. Mia needs a slow introduction to all men - but once you prove your good intentions you’ll win her heart over. Bonus Features: - Potty and grass pad pro - Crate trained! She will snooze if you have to leave the house for a few hours - Part time doorbell + full time cuddle bug If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a genuine sweetheart, and someone to make you laugh you need to give Mia a call! She is currently being fostered in sunny Orange County, California and is taking applications for her forever human!

Story

This is Yara! She is just an itty bitty little pittie mix, less than 40lbs! She’s a great dog. She’s sweet, playful and so cuddly. She loves her food time and will wait patiently until her bowl is set down. She loves her toys and will just take them and play outside on the lawn. She loves meeting new people and isn’t shy. She’s a pro in the car! Also crate and house trained. She loves looking out the window on car rides, walking on the leash. She walks great, and would be great as a running partner. Probably no kitties or small animals in the home for Yara they are a bit too interesting for her! Yara is being fostered in Sacramento, CA. If you would like to meet Yara, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.californiabullyrescue.org/adopt

Story

Meet Arrow – Your New Favorite Goofball! Arrow is a 55 lb, happy, wiggly, incredibly well-behaved pup who’s equal parts sweet and silly. He loves people, plays wonderfully with other dogs, and charms everyone with his full-body wiggles and gentle, goofy smile. This boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows his basics – sit, down, name recall, and more. He’s never had an accident indoors and follows house rules like a pro. He’s got a great balance of energy: playful when it's time, and calm with a toy or stuffie when it’s not. Arrow walks nicely on leash after a few excited puppy steps. He’s respectful with other dogs and is cat-workable too. His clumsy enthusiasm makes him best suited for homes with older kids. Arrow has a condition called Megaesophagus (Mega E), which just means his esophagus needs a little help moving food to his stomach. Thankfully, it's extremely manageable! He eats in a special upright chair (called a Bailey Chair) and lives for mealtime—especially his soaked, ground kibble or wet food. He also does well with most solid treats and chews If you're looking for a joyful, affectionate, and ready-to-go companion—Arrow’s your guy. Fostered in Pacifica, CA
