Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?Hi, I’m Basil!ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?I am a sweet girl.HOW OLD ARE YOU?Not sure! Best estimate is that I was born sometime in 2021.WHAT BREED ARE YOU?The greatest…a Great Dane!HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?110 poundsWHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?I look amazing, if I do say so myself! I am grey and brown spotted. I have very dark brown eyes and floppy ears.WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?Hot dogs! Oh, and I will eat my kibble if you are not offering hot dogs for every meal, I suppose. WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?I love to spend time with my humans. I am a big napper and enjoy spending time curled up in my bed. I even snore every once in a while! I am very mellow but do enjoy playing with the other dogs in my house. I am a sweet and goofy girl who loves to tap dance when I’m excited.DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:Spending time anywhere my humans are and sharing my cozy bed for an afternoon nap with my foster sisters. My life is so great, I feel so lucky that I get to lounge around all day!WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?I don’t really like toys! My humans think having a toy might make me anxious. Any time I have a toy, I spend the whole time looking for somewhere to hide it.DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?Yes! I would really love to show you what I know. When I came to my foster home, I didn’t know any tricks so I’ve been learning lots, including “leave it,” but my favorite is “lay down.”WHAT SCARES YOU?Being by myself! I don’t love when my humans leave, but I don’t even cry anymore. I am very brave!HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?I have met lots of kids while out and about and do a really good job! I am always gentle and never jump. I am pretty big though, and I could accidentally knock a little one over, so maybe let’s stick to the bigger kids?DO YOU LIKE CATS?I have not met any!HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?I would do best in a house with another dog who can make me feel more confident.IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?In my bed! If I’m not eating or outside, that’s where you’ll find me!HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?Pretty good! I have a few missing front teeth but it doesn’t bother me at all. WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and dad, and my friend, Miso, who I was found as a stray with. There is another dog here, and I like her lots too.WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?I go in my crate.WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?I go in my crate overnight, but during the day, I’m always on my bed.DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?It is the best!DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?I have a hard time being by myself, so I get nervous when I have to go in my crate. It is getting easier, especially when I get a hot dog. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?Yes! No worries there!DO YOU LIKE WATER?I have never been near water.WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?I was so nervous at first! They helped me feel more comfortable living inside and living a regular dog life. I love that I get to be myself.IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I am looking forward to our future together! You will love getting to know me, and I will be your best friend forever!** ADOPTION FEE IS $400**If you are interested in adopting Basil, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.orgAt this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).For more information on what that means and why that is, please click on the following link:https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=nThank you so much in advance!

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? My name is Miso. ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am a big, beautiful lady.HOW OLD ARE YOU? We think I was born in mid-2023. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a Great Dane!HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am a slim 100 pounds of graceful beauty. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am tall (obviously), lean, and gorgeous, with a white coat with black spots! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I enjoy my kibble, but oh boy, hot dogs are my absolute favorite treat! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am shy at first and a little nervous in new environments, but once I warm up, I am the coziest girl. I love to press up against my people, and love to meet new people when we go for walks.DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I think the perfect day is any day spent with my people. The MOST perfect day would include a walk, lounging around in the yard, soaking up the sinand snacking on hot dogs (while practicing my manners).WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? My favorite toys all have squeakers!DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know how to sit and shake. I am working on lay down, leave it, and going into my crate on my own.WHAT SCARES YOU? New environments make me nervous, but being with friends or family calms my nerves. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I love to say hello to well behaved children on my walks, but I have not spent much time with them. Given the fact that I’m a big girl, it is probably best for me to be around older children rather than the littles.DO YOU LIKE CATS? I have never met a cat, so I am really not sure. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like other dogs once I have the chance to get to know them. Set me up for success with slow introductions, and I can make friends. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I would be pressed against my humans for some pets or curled up on my bed with a dog friend. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I’m a healthy young lady! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and dad, my foster sister, and my friend, Basil. Basil and I were found together as strays. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I spend my alone time in my crate. I don’t love it, but I will go in on my own for a hot dog! WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? During the day, I love to nap on my bed. At night or when my foster parents leave the house, I sleep in my crate. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I am quickly learning how! DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I get nervous when left alone in my crate, but I usually settle down in a few minutes. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? You betcha! Just show me where you want me to go and I’m on it! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I’ve never been around enough water to swim. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love being cozy with my humans, and laying out in the backyard. Oh, and did I mention that I also love hot dogs? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I have so much love to give! I just know that my forever family is out there and that we will have the best time hanging out together. Maybe you want to be my forever human? **MISO’S ADOPTION FEE IS $400**If you are interested in adopting Miso, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.orgAt this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).For more information on what that means and why that is, please click on the following link:https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=nThank you so much in advance!

Rollo is a sweet boy, he is also very needy. He requires constant love and attention which I have been unable to provide with my busy work schedule. Rollo has separation anxiety and has a hard time being alone while I’m away at work. He will need to be placed in a home that has someone available to stay with him throughout the day. He get along well with other dogs, but not with territorial dogs.

Story
Meet MollyMolly is a 10-week-old Labrador/Great Dane mix with a whole lot of puppy to love and a whole lot of growing left to do!At this age, Molly is basically a blank canvas. She is sweet, curious, playful, and ready to learn—but what she becomes as an adult will depend heavily on what her family puts into her now.You get what you give.Want a dog who is confident in the world? Give her positive experiences. Want a dog who listens? Teach her. Want a dog who can settle? Help her learn how. Want a dog who loves adventures? Take her along and show her the world. Puppyhood is the time to build the foundation for the incredible adult dog hiding underneath all those puppy paws.With her Labrador and Great Dane heritage, Molly has the potential to grow into a big, goofy, active, affectionate companion. Her family should be prepared for a large dog and all the training, exercise, socialization, and guidance that comes with raising one.Molly would love a family who is ready to embrace puppy life—the zoomies, the training, the naps, the chewing, the cuddles, and all the little moments in between. She’ll need continued house training, basic obedience, appropriate socialization, and plenty of opportunities to learn and explore.She’s only 10 weeks old, which means her future is still being written. The time, patience, consistency, and experiences her family gives her now will help shape the dog she becomes.If you’re ready to put in the work and enjoy the rewards that come with it, Molly is ready to grow right alongside you.You get what you give—and Molly is ready for you to give her your best.September 25, 2026, 8:49 pm
