Story
We adopted Bertie from a shelter in 2022 when he was 6 mo. old. He was a wild puppy, but he has turned into a sweet, playful, loving dog. He is a Sharpei Mix, we think with some Shepard and maybe Pit. He wants to please his humans and has learned some commands and loves to work for treats. He knows Come, Sit, Go Potty, Go Kennel, Back, Go. Working with him on Stay, Leave it/Drop it and Laydown. He's stubborn & needs firmness. He is crate trained, loves to play tug of war or fetch. Leash/Harness trained but pulls. Strong chewer and will Eat stuffing so recommend sturdy, unstuffed toys. He is iffy with our cat. They have learned to tolerate each other, and he isn't aggressive per se but chases and annoys the cat. Probably best with no cats or small animals. Bertie is good with people, affectionate but wary of strangers. If he knows you're cool with someone he's good but he barks at delivery people. Has some skin issues, needs weekly bath for odor & possible poultry allergy.

MEET HARIBO: He is an affectionate Shar Pei unlike others of his breed, who can be aloof. He is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and healthy.

He's also great at letting you know when he needs to go outside. He needs continued leash training. He gets very excited when seeing other dogs on his walks.

Haribo will be an excellent companion, especially for someone who is semi-active or has an area where he can have some freedom to run around. Smaller toys and treats that he can easily grab with his mouth are recommended, as he tends to ignore toys that are too big. He is just a great all around dog! Very loving, super smart, funny, lotsa personality, active and engaging. He will bring joy to your life for sure! So don’t delay apply to adopt Haribo today.

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi! I’m Gigi! I need to be the ONLY DOG in your home. If that sounds good to you, please read on! I’d love to meet you! ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? A very cute girl! HOW OLD ARE YOU? About 3 years old WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am the cutest little bulldog mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 26 pounds of cuteness. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am petite and stocky with short legs, gray and white fur, and a little crooked nubby tail. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I like to eat everything! I eat my kibble and I love treats. I love fruits and vegetables too! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? If I were a sauce, I would be Sriracha! I am spicy and oh so sweet! I can be pushy, but I am learning commands like sit, stay, leave it, and also where my “spot” is. I am very trainable! I have no knowledge of personal space. I am very happy and social. I love people and absolutely love to cuddle! I am playful but also lazy and love to lay on your lap and nap while you are watching TV. Sometimes at night I do zoomies and will try to pounce on you, almost like I am a cat! When this happens, a toy will distract me and keep me busy. Want to play tug?? DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: My perfect day is spent with you! I wake up, do a big stretch and immediately want to have breakfast. I run right into the kitchen even before I have gone potty. I then go potty and have a short walk outside. I like to go on walks but not too far since my legs are so short. I love going for car rides more than walks so a car ride somewhere would make me really happy. Then home to relax and take a nap. I love to lay on you or sit on your lap while you are on the couch. I then would love to play with some toys, maybe tug on a rope. After play time, I am usually asleep and snoring by 8pm. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love Kong toys filled with treats or Benebone or Nylabone. I love playing tug with rope toys. Playing tug is my absolute favorite game. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know how to sit, leave it, and go to my “spot.” I am still working on some other training commands. WHAT SCARES YOU? Sometimes loud noises if I hear them when I am out walking. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I have been around older children and I love them very much. No children under 13 please, though. Little kids just don’t understand that I’m an excited little bulldozer sometimes! DO YOU LIKE CATS? No thanks, I’ll pass. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I need to be an only dog. I am queen of my castle! All the love is mine! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Right next to you! And also in the car would be great! I love car rides. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? My health is great! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and her teen daughter. I think I like my foster mom the best because she feeds me and I am a total foodie! WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I stay in my crate when I am home alone. Nobody wants me chewing a shoe, ok? WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep in a soft cozy bed inside of my crate. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I do like walking on a leash but I don’t like walking very far. My legs are very short! DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? I am pretty sure foster mom is grateful that I can protect her from the scary vacuum, so I do my best to put on my “tough girl” stance and tell it to back off. I also love to get into the bathroom trash, dumpster dive! Not sure if it is a bad habit since I can’t help it, but I snore really loud! It’s actually cute if you ask me. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) I am housetrained. DO YOU LIKE WATER? I tolerate it for my bath and will go outside to potty in the rain but it is not my favorite. I am heavy and have very short legs so I probably wouldn’t be able to swim. No pools please! WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? They give me so much love and attention. I am not sure if I ever had that much love before. They make me a part of everything, and I feel so special. And of course, they give me treats and toys to play with!! WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I was found as a stray and ended up in the shelter. No one came for me. That’s all in the past now and I am ready to find my forever home. Are you ready to bring me home and love me forever? ***GIGI’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300*** If you are interested in Gigi please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org For more information on where we adopt to 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 for understanding!!!

I am all good with the potty stuff… no worries there! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I run to the bathroom for bath/shower time! Swimming? I am not built for water sports, so let’s make it a team effort to keep me safe from pools and other large bodies of water, okay? WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I have learned that people aren’t so bad. I get lots of cuddles and treats! WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I had a not so good life before coming to NorCal Bully Breed Rescue. I was brought in after being shot in the head and arm. (Yikes, right? Scary!) But I am so lucky that NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me in and nursed me back to health. I have put all that behind me now and I am doing great! I am looking for my forever home that can give me lots of love! Maybe you are looking for a chill guy who just wants to be loved and have a few toys to play with? I promise to love you for the rest of my life and give you lots of cuddles and kisses! ***KOA’s ADOPTION FEE IS $100** If you are interested in Koa please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org For more information on where we adopt to and what that means and why that is, please click on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=n Thank you so much in advance for understanding!!

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi there! My name is Barkley! 👋 ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I'm a boy! 💙 HOW OLD ARE YOU? I am about two years old as of April 2024. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am an English Bulldog.🐶 HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I weigh about 47 pounds. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? Oh, I am SO handsome, if I do say so myself! I have a squishy face with beautiful eyes that will mesmerize you and melt your heart. And my red merle coat is stunning! Everybody that sees me exclaims, “Wow!” 🤩 WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I like my Royal Canin kibble. And if you have some “good boy” treats that you want to give me, I won’t turn you down! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am a sweet little boy that likes everyone. I haven’t met a human I don’t like, and everyone says I’m just the best boy they’ve ever met! I think that’s pretty cool, don’t you? 😊 DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: My perfect day is hanging out with my human (food, fun, and cuddles, please!) and playing with ALL the toys! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I have a large purple ball that I absolutely LOVE! I am so entertained by all the toys, though. Let’s play! 🟣 DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know how to sit and lay down. I’m a bulldog… work smarter, not harder, right? If I’ll get the “good boy” rewards for the basics, let’s stick to the basics!😆 WHAT SCARES YOU? I'm very cautious of new things. I approach them very slowly until I figure out what they are. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have been around children and they’re cool. But I think it would be best if I was only around older kids, because I’m kind of a tank and, once I get going, I might knock some littles down. 🤭 DO YOU LIKE CATS? I'm not sure about cats. I have two that stay in the same room as I do, but I don't really pay any attention to them. 🐱 HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I love other dogs that want to play with me. Of course, proper introductions are the way to set me up for success, but once I meet new friends, we will have lots of fun! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I love getting cuddles and attention, so I would want to be pretty much anywhere that I can be next to my human. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? My health is great! I had surgery to widen my nares (nostrils) and I had soft palate surgery, so now I can breathe! I feel like a whole new dog! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom, four doggie siblings, two cat siblings and one other foster doggie. I love spending time with my foster mom because she gives me lots of loves. 🤗 WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I hang out in my crate. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep in my crate like a good boy. 😴 DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love to walk on my leash. Let’s go explore! 🦮 DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I do tend to jump up on my humans to give hugs, but I'm learning that I can sit at their feet to get those hugs and loves. 💞 ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am house trained! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I'm not a big fan of water. With my smooshy face and stocky body, I’m just not built for water activities, so I should be kept safe from pools and other bodies of water, please! WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? My foster family has given me a safe home with lots of love. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I'm not too sure, but I was passed around a little, and was overheating because I couldn’t breathe very well. NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me in and got me the surgery that I needed to help me breathe. Now I am feeling GREAT and ready to live a fun-filled life with a family all my own! I will love you forever if you let me! 🥰 ⭐️BARKLEY’S ADOPTION FEE IS $1500.⭐️ For information on why our Bulldog fees are set as they are, please click on the following link: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5004742079644959&id=333019703483910&mibextid=qC1gEa If you are interested in BARKLEY, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org At this time we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas.
