Story
Meet Luna This super sweet girl was left abandoned in a chain link pen. Since taking her in we have gotten her spayed and up to date on vaccines. Luna is nothing more than a loving pup that just wants to be your best friend. She loves playing and taking walks or going on car rides. She is happy to entertain herself with a ball or be cuddled up on the couch by your side. Despite all her neglected treatment from the past she just truly loves people. She does get too excited with small dogs or cats but does very well with large dog breeds.

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi! My name is Fig!   ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am the MOST adorable young lady!   HOW OLD ARE YOU? Best we can tell, I was probably born around May 2024.   WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a super cute low rider bully mix.   HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? My ideal weight is around 35 pounds. I am working hard to attain that weight through a low calorie diet because I have gained a few extra pounds as I have gotten healthy and comfortable in foster care. At the moment, I weigh 40 pounds.   WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I have a wrinkly face, a cute underbite, and short, chubby legs. My coloring is fawn, and, in the sun, I glow like a beautiful star. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention my gorgeous light green eyes!   WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? As I mentioned, I am watching my calories, so my foster parents feed me a good quality, low calorie kibble.   WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am the sweetest girl ever! One of my favorite things to do is cuddle with a human on the couch because I love the attention. Attention is really the thing for me…I want to be the center of attention, the star of the show, and the life of the party! I am still young, so I have a lot of energy for walks and playtime. Let’s play fetch or tug with my toys!   DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I am pretty chill in the morning and will wait patiently for my humans to start the day. After dealing with the morning business, I love to go for a walk or a car ride, followed by lots of couch cuddles and naps. After some playtime with my foster brother, we both like to bake in the sun like the potatoes that we are! In sum: naps, cuddles, playtime, and sunbathing would be the perfect day for me.   WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love pretty much all the toys! Nibbling on my squeaky stuffies is the current favorite, though.   DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? Yes! I know how to sit and stay, and I will “go to apartment,” which is my fancy bedroom pen where I eat my meals and sleep. Oh, and perhaps my best trick is getting any and all humans to sit down on the couch and let me get up on their lap! I am an expert at that trick!   WHAT SCARES YOU? Oh, I am definitely not a fan of loud noises. I am slowly making friends with the vacuum cleaner and the blender—but those things still seem pretty suspicious, if you ask me. To help keep me from getting too scared when I’m alone, my foster mom makes sure I am relaxed and comfortable by turning on the television with soft music.   HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have hung out with some older kids (over 12 years old) and I did very well. That was fun! I do tend to get excited and jump up on people to get their attention, so it would probably be best if I am in a home with older kids only.   DO YOU LIKE CATS? I haven’t been around any cats, so I can’t say one way or the other. It is probably best that we stick to dog friends for me, thanks.   HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I live with two other dogs in my foster home and we get along great. Introductions were taken slowly to set us up for a successful friendship, and I think that slow intros are key for me. It will help me to have time to get used to a new home, then gradually increasing exposure to any resident dogs in stages. I am playful and fun, and if we do this right, I will be an amazing friend for your dogs!   IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I would be on the couch, lying comfortably right next to my human or, better yet, lying comfortably ON my human! I will fall asleep as the happiest little nugget in your arms!   HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am a strong and healthy girl! After I get to my goal weight, I will just need to maintain it and we are good to go!   WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster parents, my foster brother Fez, and my foster sister Hazel. My closest companion is my foster mom, who is my cuddle buddy on the couch as she reads or watches television.   WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I am really great in my “apartment” when my humans leave the house! I settle quickly on my bed and calmly wait for them to return.   WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep comfortably in my cozy apartment. We have occasional slumber parties where we all pile into my foster parents’ bed, and I am such a good girl! I sleep through the night like an angel.   DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love walks! I get really excited to see my leash come out and then it is so much fun to get out and about in the neighborhood. Sometimes I will just stop mid-stride to spend some time taking in the amazing smells (who doesn’t love all the smells, right?).   DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I mentioned above that it’s all about me getting all the attention, right? Yeah, that’s the thing. I have a habit of nipping fingers and jumping up on people when I greet them. I am working on not doing this because I know I should be sitting quietly waiting for people to pet me. It’s hard because I love people so much and want to get their attention right away. I hope to learn how to control my excitement better. I will benefit from a forever home that will continue to work with me on my manners and training for good behaviors.   ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? My foster parents make sure that I have access to the backyard on a regular schedule to help prevent accidents in the house. I’ve done great! I sleep through the night with no problem (yay, me!) and I will take myself outside if the door is open. But it is helpful to have a reminder to “go potty” because I sometimes get caught up in all the fun that is happening inside the house and forget to go out.   DO YOU LIKE WATER? I don’t like the hose at all. But I absolutely love a warm, soapy bath. I get all blissed out to the point that I actually fell asleep while bathing the other day!   WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that my foster family makes me feel safe and loved. While I am learning good behaviors, they are so patient with my training. I feel very lucky to have a foster family that is helping me get used to a whole new, wonderful way of life. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I was found roaming the streets of San Francisco. I was extremely skinny and was brought to SF Animal Care and Control. Luckily, I didn’t have to stay at that place very long before NorCal Bully Breed Rescue got me out of there and brought me to my foster home. While in foster care, I have gained weight, my coat is shiny, I give wet sloppy kisses, and I am a great companion dog now. It is time for me to find my forever family! Are you ready to bring me home with you? **FIG’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300.** If you are interested in adopting Fig, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Gracie ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am a girl. HOW OLD ARE YOU? We think I was born in early 2020. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a perfect Pit Bull mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 65 pounds WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am gorgeous, if I do say so myself. I have a tan brindle coat with a big white chest patch and a fancy white stripe right down the middle of my face. I have the best little underbite too, just to round out the perfection! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I am not picky! You want me to eat it, I will oblige! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am such a wiggle butt with a happy tail! I am so happy and full of life. I love all the people that I have met. I always have a smile on my face, and I’m so full of love that I like to spread it around. When it’s time to settle down, I love to snuggle next to my person. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: Food, walk, toys, nylabones and spending time with my people! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love all toys! I also love to play tug with any human who is willing! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know “sit” and “down.” I’m learning “leave it,” too. I’m a clever girl! WHAT SCARES YOU? So far, I am not afraid of anything. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have not been around children, but it might be best for me to stick with older kids. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I have not been around cats. I do like a good chase, so cats might not be the best fit. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I’ve met my foster dog brother, and I love him, but I can be dog selective. A canine companion in my forever home might be fun. Please set me up for success with slow introductions! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I love hanging out with my foster mom, dad and foster dog brother. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am doing great! No issues to report! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom, dad, and two foster dog brothers. I love my people and enjoy spending time with them inside the house and outside. I love to hang out with one of my foster dog brothers…we have so much fun! 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. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love going for walks and sniffing all the great smells. There's nothing quite like a "sniffari" to explore the world. DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I’m not sure I would consider it a “not so great habit,” but foster mom said I should tell you that I chase the backyard squirrels a lot. I am just keeping the humans safe from those little devils! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am! Just let me know where you want me to go! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I’m not too fond of water. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? Snuggles, food and a canine foster brother to play with! What else would a girl need? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I am a middle aged gal with so much love to give. I would love to meet you and share the rest of my amazing life with you. I think we will have the BEST time together! **GRACIE’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300** If you are interested in adopting Gracie, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hello! I am Martini! ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I'm a girl. HOW OLD ARE YOU? I think I'm about five years old. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am an American Bully mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am 50 svelte pounds. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I look like a lot of fun. But, I'm also a stocky girl with a black/tri-colored coat and the hugest smile! So yeah, I’m gorgeous! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? Oh, I think the easier question here would be, “What do you NOT like to eat?” And the answer would be, “Nothing!” If you’re offering, I’m eating! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I'm a bunch of fun. I'm outgoing and love to run around. I love everyone I meet, and everyone I meet says I’m a bundle of fun! DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I love everything everyday. I'm super happy whether we're outside hanging out or lounging inside. I'm your gal! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I'm not really into toys. Occasionally, I'll chew on a Nylabone. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know how to eat all the food in my bowl. Pretty tricky, right? I come when called and I kennel up nicely. WHAT SCARES YOU? Not a thing. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I haven't been around young children. I think kids eight years and above would be best as I have some smooth moves that only older kids can appreciate. DO YOU LIKE CATS? No cats for me. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like other dogs with a proper introduction. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Free fallin' in love with you. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I’m all good! Ready to take on all that life has to offer! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I hang out with several other dogs. We can run and play all day. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I am so happy hanging out, usually belly-up, in my kennel. I catch up on my beauty sleep and truly love my down time. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? Same as above. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? Sure do! If it gets me out and about in the big fabulous world, count me in! DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? Hmm. Is wagging my tail nonstop with a giant smile on my face a not-so-great habit? No? OK, then no, I do not have anything to report here. My foster mom says I am PERFECT, and I tend to agree with her! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) Yes I do! I’m such a good girl! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I like to drink water but no pools/ponds or lakes for me. I'm not a swimmer, I have more of a powerlifter physique. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? They took me in when no one else would. I was stuck at the shelter until they came and fell in love with me and took me home. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? That's water under the bridge. Nothing but great days ahead as long as I'm with you. Let’s have some fun! I’ll be your best friend forever! **MARTINI’s ADOPTION FEE IS $300.00** If you are interested in MARTINI, 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.

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? I’m Noodle! ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am a boy. HOW OLD ARE YOU? We think I was born in early 2025. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a pitty mix of some sort, the best around in my opinion. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 45 pounds WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I have soft snow white fur. My ears are large and have super cute brown cow spots on them. Currently I am lanky but will probably fill out since I am eating regular meals now and growing up. Foster mom calls me skinny tooshy. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? Noodles, obviously! Just kidding! I like puppy food and fruitable treats, but I am not picky! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? The kind that likes to party then crash. I am a typical little boy: playful and curious, but also gentle and sweet when I settle. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: Food, short walk, toys, toys and toys! And a snooze on or near my human to round off an amazing day. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love all toys! Fetch is fun, but don’t expect me to bring it back! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I am a work in progress, but I know how to sit and that’s pretty good for a young pup! WHAT SCARES YOU? So far, I am not afraid of anything. I can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but I warm up fast. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? A got to hang out with a couple girls who are eight to 10 years old and I did well. As I get older, I will learn not to bump kids around, but it might be best for me to stick with older kids since I am still figuring it all out! I can be a bit mouthy with toys, but I adapt to staying calm quickly. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I probably like to chase them, so I gotta say no to cats, thanks. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like dogs! It is fun to bark and roll around with them! A patient dog would be best with my puppy energy, but I have learned cues and know when I need to leave it be. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I love the outdoors and running around in the yard, but prefer to be by my human’s side. Come out and play with me! HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am doing great! I came into rescue with an old leg injury, but get around just fine now. WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? Loaded question! I have to say my closest companion is my foster mom. Don’t tell my dog friends, though! I love them too. I have had big boy dog friends and a little Frenchie friend that I adore. We play then she lays on top of me to snooze. We are buddies! WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I hang out in my crate without a peep. I just chill like a very good boy. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep in my crate and am perfect in it. I did sleep in bed a couple times and was very decent with the space. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love walks, and I even keep eye contact with my human to be sure I am doing things right. DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? My foster mom says I’m perfect! But no one is REALLY perfect, right? I sometimes dig in the dirt for treasures…but if you tell me no, I totally get it! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am! I adapted very quickly considering I was probably an outdoor dog up until recently. DO YOU LIKE WATER? I love the kiddie pool and I don’t mind a bath. Splashing around is so fun! WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? Snuggles and food! What else would a boy need? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I am just a young guy with so much love to give. I would love to meet you and share the rest of my amazing life with you. I think we will have the BEST time together! **NOODLE’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300** If you are interested in adopting Noodle, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Gracie ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am a girl. HOW OLD ARE YOU? We think I was born in early 2020. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a perfect Pit Bull mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 65 pounds WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am gorgeous, if I do say so myself. I have a tan brindle coat with a big white chest patch and a fancy white stripe right down the middle of my face. I have the best little underbite too, just to round out the perfection! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I am not picky! You want me to eat it, I will oblige! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am such a wiggle butt with a happy tail! I am so happy and full of life. I love all the people that I have met. I always have a smile on my face, and I’m so full of love that I like to spread it around. When it’s time to settle down, I love to snuggle next to my person. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: Food, walk, toys, nylabones and spending time with my people! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love all toys! I also love to play tug with any human who is willing! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know “sit” and “down.” I’m learning “leave it,” too. I’m a clever girl! WHAT SCARES YOU? So far, I am not afraid of anything. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have not been around children, but it might be best for me to stick with older kids. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I have not been around cats. I do like a good chase, so cats might not be the best fit. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I’ve met my foster dog brother, and I love him, but I can be dog selective. A canine companion in my forever home might be fun. Please set me up for success with slow introductions! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I love hanging out with my foster mom, dad and foster dog brother. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am doing great! No issues to report! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom, dad, and two foster dog brothers. I love my people and enjoy spending time with them inside the house and outside. I love to hang out with one of my foster dog brothers…we have so much fun! 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. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love going for walks and sniffing all the great smells. There's nothing quite like a "sniffari" to explore the world. DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I’m not sure I would consider it a “not so great habit,” but foster mom said I should tell you that I chase the backyard squirrels a lot. I am just keeping the humans safe from those little devils! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am! Just let me know where you want me to go! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I’m not too fond of water. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? Snuggles, food and a canine foster brother to play with! What else would a girl need? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I am a middle aged gal with so much love to give. I would love to meet you and share the rest of my amazing life with you. I think we will have the BEST time together! **GRACIE’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300** If you are interested in adopting Gracie, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hello! I am Martini! ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I'm a girl. HOW OLD ARE YOU? I think I'm about five years old. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am an American Bully mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am 50 svelte pounds. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I look like a lot of fun. But, I'm also a stocky girl with a black/tri-colored coat and the hugest smile! So yeah, I’m gorgeous! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? Oh, I think the easier question here would be, “What do you NOT like to eat?” And the answer would be, “Nothing!” If you’re offering, I’m eating! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I'm a bunch of fun. I'm outgoing and love to run around. I love everyone I meet, and everyone I meet says I’m a bundle of fun! DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I love everything everyday. I'm super happy whether we're outside hanging out or lounging inside. I'm your gal! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I'm not really into toys. Occasionally, I'll chew on a Nylabone. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know how to eat all the food in my bowl. Pretty tricky, right? I come when called and I kennel up nicely. WHAT SCARES YOU? Not a thing. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I haven't been around young children. I think kids eight years and above would be best as I have some smooth moves that only older kids can appreciate. DO YOU LIKE CATS? No cats for me. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like other dogs with a proper introduction. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Free fallin' in love with you. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I’m all good! Ready to take on all that life has to offer! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I hang out with several other dogs. We can run and play all day. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I am so happy hanging out, usually belly-up, in my kennel. I catch up on my beauty sleep and truly love my down time. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? Same as above. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? Sure do! If it gets me out and about in the big fabulous world, count me in! DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? Hmm. Is wagging my tail nonstop with a giant smile on my face a not-so-great habit? No? OK, then no, I do not have anything to report here. My foster mom says I am PERFECT, and I tend to agree with her! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) Yes I do! I’m such a good girl! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I like to drink water but no pools/ponds or lakes for me. I'm not a swimmer, I have more of a powerlifter physique. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? They took me in when no one else would. I was stuck at the shelter until they came and fell in love with me and took me home. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? That's water under the bridge. Nothing but great days ahead as long as I'm with you. Let’s have some fun! I’ll be your best friend forever! **MARTINI’s ADOPTION FEE IS $300.00** If you are interested in MARTINI, 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.

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? I’m Noodle! ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am a boy. HOW OLD ARE YOU? We think I was born in early 2025. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a pitty mix of some sort, the best around in my opinion. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 45 pounds WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I have soft snow white fur. My ears are large and have super cute brown cow spots on them. Currently I am lanky but will probably fill out since I am eating regular meals now and growing up. Foster mom calls me skinny tooshy. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? Noodles, obviously! Just kidding! I like puppy food and fruitable treats, but I am not picky! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? The kind that likes to party then crash. I am a typical little boy: playful and curious, but also gentle and sweet when I settle. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: Food, short walk, toys, toys and toys! And a snooze on or near my human to round off an amazing day. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love all toys! Fetch is fun, but don’t expect me to bring it back! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I am a work in progress, but I know how to sit and that’s pretty good for a young pup! WHAT SCARES YOU? So far, I am not afraid of anything. I can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but I warm up fast. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? A got to hang out with a couple girls who are eight to 10 years old and I did well. As I get older, I will learn not to bump kids around, but it might be best for me to stick with older kids since I am still figuring it all out! I can be a bit mouthy with toys, but I adapt to staying calm quickly. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I probably like to chase them, so I gotta say no to cats, thanks. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like dogs! It is fun to bark and roll around with them! A patient dog would be best with my puppy energy, but I have learned cues and know when I need to leave it be. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I love the outdoors and running around in the yard, but prefer to be by my human’s side. Come out and play with me! HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am doing great! I came into rescue with an old leg injury, but get around just fine now. WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? Loaded question! I have to say my closest companion is my foster mom. Don’t tell my dog friends, though! I love them too. I have had big boy dog friends and a little Frenchie friend that I adore. We play then she lays on top of me to snooze. We are buddies! WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I hang out in my crate without a peep. I just chill like a very good boy. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep in my crate and am perfect in it. I did sleep in bed a couple times and was very decent with the space. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love walks, and I even keep eye contact with my human to be sure I am doing things right. DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? My foster mom says I’m perfect! But no one is REALLY perfect, right? I sometimes dig in the dirt for treasures…but if you tell me no, I totally get it! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am! I adapted very quickly considering I was probably an outdoor dog up until recently. DO YOU LIKE WATER? I love the kiddie pool and I don’t mind a bath. Splashing around is so fun! WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? Snuggles and food! What else would a boy need? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I am just a young guy with so much love to give. I would love to meet you and share the rest of my amazing life with you. I think we will have the BEST time together! **NOODLE’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300** If you are interested in adopting Noodle, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi!! My name is Koa! ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I am a very sweet boy! HOW OLD ARE YOU? I am around 10 to 11 years old. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a pit bull mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am 50 pounds of muscle. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am a tan little muscular boy with a big smile and an even bigger heart. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I love my food and treats as well. I have discovered that I enjoy fruit as well like bananas, blueberries and apples. WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am a pretty chill little man that loves his chew toys. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: My perfect day starts with grabbing my favorite toy and heading outside to do a little sniffing around. Then I take care of business and head back in the house to get breakfast. I usually like to fall back to sleep while chewing on my favorite toy. I nap most of the day, potty, eat, play…the simple things in life make me happy! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love all toys that I can chomp down on, but I do have a pink rubber ball that is my favorite. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I have learned how to sit and I have discovered that I get treats when I do it. So, I sit even before I am asked to now. WHAT SCARES YOU? Loud noises like vacuums and fireworks scare me. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I do like children, but I don’t like to share my toys, so no children under 13 please. DO YOU LIKE CATS? No cats please. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I have been through a lot in my past, so I would like to get all of the attention. No other doggies please. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I would like to be anywhere where I get lots of love and treats. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am a healthy boy. WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I currently live with my foster mom. Her boyfriend comes over frequently and I love to lay on his lap. 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. It is my safe, cozy space and I can relax and just be chill in there. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I like walking on my leash. I like to carry my pink ball with me as I walk on my leash. DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? I do like to steal brooms and chew them up, so brooms should be out of my sight. I also like to bark when playing with my pink toy outside. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? Heck yeah! 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? Izzy (short for Isabella because I’m so bella!)   ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I’m a gorgeous girl!    HOW OLD ARE YOU? I was born on November 29, 2018.  
WHAT BREED ARE YOU? Just the most perfect Boxer/Pit Bull mix! HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I’m 80 pounds of pure love!  WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I’m a classic, fawn Boxer beauty with soulful brown eyes and natural black eyeshadow. 
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I’ll pretty much eat anything but have a soft spot for cheese! Can you blame me, though? Cheese is life! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am goofy and playful but also love a good cuddle sesh. I’m loyal to my humans and adore little kids!  DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: Oh that’s easy! My perfect day would start with a long walk, popping some bubbles or chasing a ball, then some quality couch time with my humans, followed by a nice long nap. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? Anything that squeaks will not squeak for very long when I get my paws on it!  DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I’m good with the basics, sit, stay, leave it, and wait! I am very food motivated, so if you want me to learn more, bring on the treats! WHAT SCARES YOU? On leash, I am sometimes nervous about other dogs, so I tend to react to tell them to stay away from me and my human!   HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I LOVE children, especially little ones! I am so tolerant of their shenanigans, although I appreciate when my humans step in when they start to get a little handsy with me!  DO YOU LIKE CATS? Oh, no thanks. I’ll pass on cats!  HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? With slow, structured introductions, I should be alright with large dogs, but I do not want little dogs in my space. As I mentioned earlier, I can get uncomfortable with some dogs when on leash. I’m practicing and getting better, treats can help!    IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? It doesn’t matter where I am as long as we’re together. Right beside my human is the best place in the world!  HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I’m very healthy!   WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with two adults and two children under five years old. My foster mom is my super-favorite person in the world right now, although those littles sure are a lot of fun!   WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I chill. Sometimes on the couch, sometimes on the floor. I take myself out and like to find cool spots in the house.   WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? Pretty flexible! Couch, floor, dog bed. A crate if I must, but I like crates the least. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? A leash means walks! I love walking on a leash!    DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? Sometimes when I’m on leash I have a hard time telling between friend or foe. Even though I’m big, that doesn’t stop me from acting like a puppy. I am willing to learn, so let’s spend some time working together and have some fun bonding while you teach me what you want me to do!   ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) Yes, I am! No problems there! Make sure you tell me where and I’ll stick to it.   DO YOU LIKE WATER? I’m not much of a swimmer but I love getting in the water and playing with the hose. Maybe you can teach me how to swim?   WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love spending time with my foster family, especially all the cuddles. The best is when I get to hang out with the kids. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I’m SO ready to start the next phase of my life with my forever family! Let’s do this! **IZZY’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300.** If you are interested in adopting Izzy, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).

Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi! My name is Fig!   ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I am the MOST adorable young lady!   HOW OLD ARE YOU? Best we can tell, I was probably born around May 2024.   WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a super cute low rider bully mix.   HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? My ideal weight is around 35 pounds. I am working hard to attain that weight through a low calorie diet because I have gained a few extra pounds as I have gotten healthy and comfortable in foster care. At the moment, I weigh 40 pounds.   WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I have a wrinkly face, a cute underbite, and short, chubby legs. My coloring is fawn, and, in the sun, I glow like a beautiful star. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention my gorgeous light green eyes!   WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? As I mentioned, I am watching my calories, so my foster parents feed me a good quality, low calorie kibble.   WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am the sweetest girl ever! One of my favorite things to do is cuddle with a human on the couch because I love the attention. Attention is really the thing for me…I want to be the center of attention, the star of the show, and the life of the party! I am still young, so I have a lot of energy for walks and playtime. Let’s play fetch or tug with my toys!   DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I am pretty chill in the morning and will wait patiently for my humans to start the day. After dealing with the morning business, I love to go for a walk or a car ride, followed by lots of couch cuddles and naps. After some playtime with my foster brother, we both like to bake in the sun like the potatoes that we are! In sum: naps, cuddles, playtime, and sunbathing would be the perfect day for me.   WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love pretty much all the toys! Nibbling on my squeaky stuffies is the current favorite, though.   DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? Yes! I know how to sit and stay, and I will “go to apartment,” which is my fancy bedroom pen where I eat my meals and sleep. Oh, and perhaps my best trick is getting any and all humans to sit down on the couch and let me get up on their lap! I am an expert at that trick!   WHAT SCARES YOU? Oh, I am definitely not a fan of loud noises. I am slowly making friends with the vacuum cleaner and the blender—but those things still seem pretty suspicious, if you ask me. To help keep me from getting too scared when I’m alone, my foster mom makes sure I am relaxed and comfortable by turning on the television with soft music.   HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have hung out with some older kids (over 12 years old) and I did very well. That was fun! I do tend to get excited and jump up on people to get their attention, so it would probably be best if I am in a home with older kids only.   DO YOU LIKE CATS? I haven’t been around any cats, so I can’t say one way or the other. It is probably best that we stick to dog friends for me, thanks.   HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I live with two other dogs in my foster home and we get along great. Introductions were taken slowly to set us up for a successful friendship, and I think that slow intros are key for me. It will help me to have time to get used to a new home, then gradually increasing exposure to any resident dogs in stages. I am playful and fun, and if we do this right, I will be an amazing friend for your dogs!   IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I would be on the couch, lying comfortably right next to my human or, better yet, lying comfortably ON my human! I will fall asleep as the happiest little nugget in your arms!   HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am a strong and healthy girl! After I get to my goal weight, I will just need to maintain it and we are good to go!   WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster parents, my foster brother Fez, and my foster sister Hazel. My closest companion is my foster mom, who is my cuddle buddy on the couch as she reads or watches television.   WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I am really great in my “apartment” when my humans leave the house! I settle quickly on my bed and calmly wait for them to return.   WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep comfortably in my cozy apartment. We have occasional slumber parties where we all pile into my foster parents’ bed, and I am such a good girl! I sleep through the night like an angel.   DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love walks! I get really excited to see my leash come out and then it is so much fun to get out and about in the neighborhood. Sometimes I will just stop mid-stride to spend some time taking in the amazing smells (who doesn’t love all the smells, right?).   DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I mentioned above that it’s all about me getting all the attention, right? Yeah, that’s the thing. I have a habit of nipping fingers and jumping up on people when I greet them. I am working on not doing this because I know I should be sitting quietly waiting for people to pet me. It’s hard because I love people so much and want to get their attention right away. I hope to learn how to control my excitement better. I will benefit from a forever home that will continue to work with me on my manners and training for good behaviors.   ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? My foster parents make sure that I have access to the backyard on a regular schedule to help prevent accidents in the house. I’ve done great! I sleep through the night with no problem (yay, me!) and I will take myself outside if the door is open. But it is helpful to have a reminder to “go potty” because I sometimes get caught up in all the fun that is happening inside the house and forget to go out.   DO YOU LIKE WATER? I don’t like the hose at all. But I absolutely love a warm, soapy bath. I get all blissed out to the point that I actually fell asleep while bathing the other day!   WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that my foster family makes me feel safe and loved. While I am learning good behaviors, they are so patient with my training. I feel very lucky to have a foster family that is helping me get used to a whole new, wonderful way of life. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I was found roaming the streets of San Francisco. I was extremely skinny and was brought to SF Animal Care and Control. Luckily, I didn’t have to stay at that place very long before NorCal Bully Breed Rescue got me out of there and brought me to my foster home. While in foster care, I have gained weight, my coat is shiny, I give wet sloppy kisses, and I am a great companion dog now. It is time for me to find my forever family! Are you ready to bring me home with you? **FIG’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300.** If you are interested in adopting Fig, 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 (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).
