Story
***At this time we are ONLY doing adoptions within the immediate Sacramento area. Please fill out an adoption application on our website.*** My name is LOLA, aka LalalalaLola, Lolita Mamacita, Lowes, Lolo. (My humans love nicknames.) I answer to all of them, especially if there's food or a rubdown involved. My humans called me Lola because I am low to the ground. I think I'm just aerodynamic. HOW OLD ARE YOU? I’m 9 years old! I came to my humans with four itty bitty puppies, which I cared for and played with, until they got their new homes. I am proud to say I raised beautiful, if rambunctious, pups! My perfect day is: get up; stretch in my crate; eat breakfast; go outside and potty; sunbathe in the backyard (I know all the best places to go as the sun moves); hangout and watch TV with my humans for awhile (especially Animal Planet, I sleep if the news is on); hang out in my crate until the big guy gets home; go for a walk; eat dinner; go potty and watch some TV before bed. I am learning good manners. I know sit, down, leave it and off. I obey about 80% of the time. I also know to wait for my food and to wait to be invited in the house or out the gate. I am a work in progress. With consistency I'm a fast learner and love to make my humans happy. I love to fetch exactly 2.5 times, with great enthusiasm. My favorite toy is...I'm not sure. I eat them before I grow to like them. But a frozen cow bone section keeps me happy for months. I love humans of all shapes and sizes. Cuddling is my favorite game. My humans say I can't hold my licker, but I think they secretly love it. It's really hard to keep all my love inside. I gotta let it fly! I prefer to be the only dog in the house. I really like watching them on TV, but don't see the need to share my home with them. With all this love, why would you want more than me? I have a very waggy tail, a happy-go-lucky disposition, and am about 9 years old. Give me a home and I'll give you all my love and my very best efforts to melt your heart! Lola should be the only pet in the house. She prefers to be able to only have to share her love with her humans. 💗💗💗 The adoption fee for Lola is $300 Interested in meeting this dog or another one of our available dogs? Simply complete and submit our adoption application on our website www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org (FROM YOUR HOME COMPUTER, not cell phones, yet! We’re working on that!!) and we will respond to you within 3-5 days. Once a yard check is completed and you’ve passed the adoption process, you’re welcome to meet any of our dogs!!! NorCal Bully Breed Rescue (NBBR) is a foster based rescue with foster homes spread throughout the Sacramento area. We require our adopters to be within a 50 mile radius of us. This is because we need to do a physical yard check to guarantee that the potential adopter's yard is secure, and also have them be close enough should any behavioral issues arise, and the assistance of our trainer is needed. (*FaceTime or Skype are NOT acceptable methods of communication regarding yard checks.) We HAVE made exceptions for dogs that have been with us long term, and for senior dogs. We would still need to perform a yard check, and would be happy to do so for a dog that has been passed over repeatedly, but not for dogs that are in high demand. It would need to be to a neighboring state to California. NOT across the country. That would be too much. (*We will NOT be making this exception for puppies or designer breed dogs, so please don’t ask. It’s way too much for us to have to request time off of work and lose pay to drive a dog out of area when we have plenty of great homes in our area wanting to adopt these dogs.) We try our best to match our dogs to the perfect homes, and match them based on their personalities, not their looks. Adoptions are not done on a first come, first serve basis, rather in the order of what homes are the right match for that particular dog. Our adoption fees are based on the dog and typically range from $200-$500. In the case of senior dogs (6+ years), fees will be waived to the right home. This includes spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, and deworming (if necessary). In the case of designer breed dogs, like French Bulldogs and English Bulldogs, the adoption fee will be significantly higher in order to offset the costs associated with their surgeries, or associated with their demand. Thanks so much for your interest, and we hope we are able to match you up with your next family member!!! Looking forward to your application!!!

Story
What is your name? My foster moms have been calling me Mustang Sally (cue music!) How old are you? I am a 9 year old pitty girl. How much do you weigh? I last weighed in at 52lbs, but hope I have plumped up a bit since getting fed regularly. What do you look like? I am a beautiful gray and white girl. What do you like to eat? I like to eat good portions of food, treats, and pupcakes if you’ll make them. I also love to eat the remains of the lamb bones my foster brother gets. What kind of personality do you have? I like any pets and booty scratches I can get, long naps all day, toys and bones I can chew on, and to just be close to humans. When I get really excited, I will let out a cute little howl to let you know I still have a voice. Describe your perfect day: My perfect day is sleeping in and waking up to my breakfast waiting for me, chilling in the shade getting lots of loves and maybe a bone to chew on, a short walk with a long nap afterwards; I just want to be close and get my beauty sleep. My nickname around my foster home is Sleeping Beauty because I really take my sleep seriously. What is your favorite toy? I like any toy my foster brother is playing with or a kong with some yummy treats. Do you know any tricks? I still know sit and down, but need coaxing with some yummy treats. What scares you? I am not a fan of the hose and I am just not comfortable with humans touching my feet yet, but I am working on it. Have you been around children? Do you like them? I have been around a 2 year-old girl and just licked her feet. I’ve also been around other small children (4 and 5 years old) and I didn’t mind them either. I’m always looking for new friends. Do you like cats? I haven’t been around cats, but when I pass them on my walks I just watch them go by. How do you feel about other dogs? I get along great with my foster brother and sister, a German shepherd and a shitzu-poodle. If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be? If I could be anywhere in the world, I would want to be inside laying by your side. How is your health? I can’t hear that well so I really appreciate my foster mom waking me up with soft pets and ear rubs. I am eating and drinking well. My hips hurt sometimes, but I still have a pep in my step and still love to play. Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion? I have been living with my foster brother and sister, a German shepherd, Ranger, and a shitzu, Chai. I love playing with Ranger, but need frequent breaks because I tire easily. He and I get along really well and I enjoy his company. Chai doesn’t show much interest in me so I just leave her alone. Where do you hang out when you are home alone? I either hang out outside on my cot or on really hot days I sleep inside in the kitchen on my bed. Where do you sleep? I prefer the outdoors on my cot, but I love coming in with my foster brother and sister and getting cozy on my indoor bed. Do you like walking on a leash? I have felt really comfortable being at my foster home because they take me on walks with the other dogs; I may walk slow, but it feels good to stretch my legs. I don’t like to go far because I get tired fast. With some time and much needed rest, I have started to find my groove again. Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard? I don’t bark. In the beginning, I started to chew on the screen door, but I was quickly taught that that wasn’t ok and my foster mom took the screen door off; no other issues since - I really just go with the flow and enjoy my freedom outside. Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside) I am house trained!! What do you love about your foster family? I love my foster family for taking me in when I was wandering the streets and didn’t know where to go. They have provided food, water, love, and a safe place for me to be while I wait patiently for my forever home to live out my best doggy days being spoiled. SALLY’S ADOPTION FEE IS $100, but we’d gladly waive it for a perfect home If you are interested in adopting Sally, 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? Hello there! My name is Finn. ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I’m a handsome hunk of a boy. HOW OLD ARE YOU? I’m about three years old. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I’m a Pit Bull Mix, although sometimes people mistake me for a bat because of my pointy ears. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I’m clocking in at about 60 pounds of perfection! WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? Well, everyone tells me how handsome I am, but I try not to let that get to my big head… I have a tricolor coat which means I have three different colors - trust me, I counted! I have cute light brown eyebrows which makes me look like I have puppy eyes all the time. And I have small white spots on my chest and on some of my toes, because I’m fancy like that! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I like to eat my adult dog kibble and treats! My favorites so far have been turkey, chicken, beef, greenies, pill pockets… Actually, I don’t think I’ve had a treat I don’t like. Sometimes my foster mom gives me frozen carrots, which I love very much. Maybe I’m a bunny and not a bat? WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? A big one!! People always call me a “big boy,” but I don’t really believe them because I still try to fit into tiny spaces, like under the coffee table or between people’s legs. What can I say – I’m a snuggle bug that loves being with my people! I like to go where you go and if there’s a barrier between us, I might just let you know vocally how much I miss you. Most of the day, I’m pretty relaxed and taking naps in the sun. I love to play and will never say no to a game of tug-o-war, ball catching (though I’m still learning to give the ball back), and just running around! When my humans have had enough, I’m very good at settling on my own with a chew toy and going to town on it until I get tired. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: My favorite part of each day is when my humans let me out of my crate in the morning because that means I get to be next to them. I go outside, smell the fresh air, go potty, and come back inside to eat my breakfast. Then I go find that perfect spot in the living room where the sun shines through the window and have my beauty nap. I typically like to nap… pretty much the entire day, but I’ll definitely wake up for some ball time, afternoon potty, and a walk! Sometimes my foster mom has adult friends over and I love love love meeting them! I haven’t met a big human that I don’t like. I wait patiently on my bed until my foster mom says “OK” and then I go say hi, give them kisses, and get all the pets and belly rubs. It’s the best feeling in the world! When my foster dad comes home in the evening, I get a burst of energy and bring out all my toys to chew on. I’ll have my dinner and continue playing until I get tired. I snuggle with my humans on the couch until it’s time to go to bed. Then I get to do it all over again the next day! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? THE BALL! Once you have that orange Chuckit ball in your hand, you have my full and undivided attention. I can sit and wait at a designated spot until you release me with “OK” and throw it! I am very speedy when it comes to chasing and getting the ball. Inside the house, I like all of my hard chew toys. I like to pick one out of my toy basket and sploot near my humans while I chew on them. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? Yes! I know how to sit, down, wait, and be released with “OK.” I also know how to play the “Find it” game! Currently, I am learning “paw”. WHAT SCARES YOU? Being alone. It will take me a little bit of time to learn your house, your schedule, and that I am safe in your family before I feel comfortable being by myself. When I’m scared, I let you know by being vocal. Sometimes unexpected loud noises and doorbell sounds scare me; the latter makes me feel silly because behind the door is usually an adult person - who I’d love to meet! HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I need to be in an adult-only home. DO YOU LIKE CATS? No cats please. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I’m very curious about other dogs and could do well meeting them, as long as we do slow introductions and they have neutral personalities. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Laying on the couch, cuddling next to you. I genuinely mean that! HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? Never been better! I had a scary start when the rescue first found me. I had a broken femur from being hit by a car, though it never broke my spirit. The amazing folks at NorCal Bully Breed Rescue and UC Davis gave me the life-saving surgery I needed, and I spent lots of time recovering at my foster home. Now you would never even know that I had a broken leg if it weren’t for the scar (which I proudly wear like a badge of honor…I am a strong, brave boy who came back from an injury like a champ!!) WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and dad. It is hard to choose who I’m closer to… I spend a lot of time with my foster mom, but I get jolts of energy when my foster dad comes home because that means it’s play time! WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I stay in my crate with my soft blankie and a chew toy. Although I usually just sleep the entire time. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? During the day? Anywhere and everywhere. My favorite spot is the couch! At nighttime, I am asked to sleep in my crate when my humans go to bed. It was lonely at first while I was learning to feel safe in the home, but now I know it’s just for the night and I get to see everyone again in the morning. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? Sure do! I’m very good about staying by my human’s side - my foster parents didn’t even have to teach me! Did I mention I am a very good boy! The BEST! DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? Though I am quiet 90 percent of the time, I am vocal about my feelings! That usually happens when I get scared from seeing someone outside, don’t like being alone, or when the doorbell rings (my foster mom is training me through this!). ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) Yes, I do great once I learn the rules of the house. When I’m in a new house, it can take me some time to learn when and where it is appropriate to go potty. Please be patient with me while you teach me! DO YOU LIKE WATER? To drink, absolutely. To bathe in, I will tolerate it. I LOVE the kiddie pool in the backyard! It is so much fun to play around in the water! WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that they let me cuddle on top of them! But I’m also happy that they taught me patience, structure, and how to play safely – all the things that will let me continue living my best life with my future family. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? Well, no one quite knows, but some kind strangers brought me into a shelter. They found me with a broken femur from being hit by a car. But I never let that injury stop me from being my goofy self because I came in with my tail wagging and a big smile on my face! I have loved every big human I’ve met so far and I can’t wait to meet my future forever family and love on them, too. Maybe YOU are meant to be my forever family and will take me home with you? I would really love to meet you! I promise, you will love me so much and I will be the happiest, cuddliest, most amazing boy for you if you give me a chance. ** Finn's adoption fee is $300.00** If you are interested in adopting Finn, hop on our website and fill out an adoption application www.norcalbullybreed.com 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=n Thank you so much in advance!!

Story
⭐️⭐️⭐️DOG AND CAT FRIENDLY!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️ What is your name? Lincoln How old are you? About a year old. Are you male or female? Male How much do you weigh? I’m a tall, slim 75-pound pup. What do you look like? I am a very handsome boy, if I do say so myself – my foster mom tells me that all the time too! My coat is grey with a white chest and my ears are floppy but bounce rather nicely when I run. I am strong and tall and slender, and always have a big happy grin on my cute face. What do you like to eat? I am a good eater and usually clean my bowl quickly of dry kibble (usually Purina meat variety mixed with IAMS chicken kibble and a spoonful of Rachel Ray or other yummy wet food mixed in). My foster mom spoils me. What kind of personality do you have? I’m a big, goofy love bug who hasn’t met a person or dog I don’t like. I would adopt everyone as my family if I could and play all day long. Describe your perfect day: A trip to the dog park with my family and playing in the creek. What is your favorite toy? A big juicy bone, though I do love the big, knotted rope with which I play tug of war with my little foster brother dog pal. Do you know any tricks? I know how to “sit” and am working on learning other lessons my family is teaching. I’m a quick study but a little patience is needed as I’ve still got puppy brain at times. What scares you? Gunshots, firecrackers/fireworks, loud lawn equipment such as weed whackers. I think I can get used to the lawn equipment but will take some patience with the bangs from gunshots and fireworks. Have you been around children? Do you like them? I love everyone, including children. But I’m a very exuberant big boy, so best around older children and adults. Do you like cats? I do. I wish they liked me as I’m super fun and I’d like to play, but I’m very big and exuberant and the few cats I’ve been around just ignore me or find somewhere else to be. Slow introductions and acclimation for both of us would be best. How do you feel about other dogs? I LOVE other dogs – I could play and play and play until bedtime! I make all kinds of friends at the dog park. If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be? At the dog park with my family and dog buddies. How is your health? Really good. I’m still very young so am in great shape. I sometimes have a little trouble with my ears but ear ointment from the vet easily takes care of that. Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion? My foster mom and a chihuahua who is a youngster like me but a few months older. We grew up together. Where do you hang out when you are home alone? In the backyard with my toys and my foster brother dog pal or in my crate if I’m sleepy. Where do you sleep? In my own crate which I love. Do you like walking on a leash? Yes, I’m a good boy on a leash though I’m very strong, so need to be sure whoever walks me can handle my muscles. Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard? I sometimes dig a small hole for a special bone and if left on my own too long, may find something to chew that’s not my toy. But I’m overall a pretty quiet dog, even when seeing cows in the field in back of my house for the first time. They were interesting to watch, but I didn’t want to bark at them or chase them. Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside). I usually spend most of my time outside and am semi-potty trained, though need a bit more time with training. Though I sleep through the night in my crate with generally no accidents. Do you like playing in water? I LOVE a good creek to wade around in or a small kiddie pool to walk in. What do you love about your foster family? How much they love me and are teaching me good manners and other fun things. And that they always want the best for me!

I’m a pretty mellow guy and don’t require a lot of exercise. I do enjoy attention with pets, scratches, and belly rubs. I am generally just a happy guy who is chill just hanging out with my human. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I feel like every day is perfect and it does not take a lot to make me happy. I like lots of naps, a walk around the neighborhood to get some sniffs in, and then spending some time in the backyard lounging in the sun. In the evening, I love being with a human doing anything or nothing. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love my orange ball (food dispenser) because when I push it around with my nose, kibbles come out. It's like MAGIC!! 🏀 DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I do know sit and shake. Pretty clever guy, huh? WHAT SCARES YOU? I do not like car rides. That thing moves fast and it somehow teleports me from my happy place to ... who knows where! HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I have not been around children. DO YOU LIKE CATS? Yes, I have two cat friends that I love. Only one of my cat friends gives me love back by rubbing on my legs. 🐈🐈‍⬛😍 HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I love other dogs and enjoy their company. 🐕‍🦺 💙 IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Hanging out with you. 🫶 HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? My health is pretty good. I do have a skin condition and get weekly medicated baths. 🛁 WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and dad, three dogs, and two cats. My foster mom is my closest companion, and I like being with her because she keeps me safe, feeds me, and gives me lots of cuddles.🥰 WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? In my room on my comfy bed. 🛌 WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep on my comfy bed in my own room. I'm kind of a big deal, y'know? I have my own room! DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? Yes! I love to go for walks around the neighborhood. I walk really well on a leash and love to sniff things along the way. 🦮👍 DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? Nah, I'm pretty close to perfect (if I do say so myself!). I just hang out in the sun or on the couch and snooze, watch the world around me, and cuddle up next to my human... not much "not-so-great" about any of that, right? ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) I am potty trained! I'm a distinguished older gentleman, so you know that I can handle something as basic as potty! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I don’t mind the rain and will go outside to go potty, but no water play for me. 💦👎 WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that they spend time with me and feed me yummy food. 🥗❤️ WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I was in a shelter feeling scared, alone, and depressed. Since NorCal Bully Breed saved me, I have become confident, happy, and I just love life now! I do love my foster family, but I know that I will find a forever family of my own that will show me what it feels like to be "home." I am hoping you are the one who will give me a chance to share all my love and cuddles and kisses... I am SUCH a good boy! Will you please love me? ⭐️IKE'S ADOPTION FEE IS $100.00⭐️ If you are interested in IKE 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? Marbles ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I'm a sweet baby boy! HOW OLD ARE YOU? I am around one year old as of January 2024! WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I have been told that I am a whippet/pitty mix, but I may have other breeds mixed in there as well. I like to keep people guessing! HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am a lean 40 pounds of fabulous! WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am lean and springy, I have a light marbled brindle coat with gorgeous white accents. (Hence the name Marbles, get it?) WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I love my kibble, I pretty much love all the treats, and PEANUT BUTTER, yum! If you give me all the treats, I will take them very gently. ☺️ WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I have two speeds. First, I have “All the Energy” mode!! I love jumping around when I am excited. I still have puppy energy, but I am learning to slow down when I am told do. Then, there is the “Cuddle” mode. I love to catch my human on the couch or bed and just snuggle up for a good movie, some pets, and a snooze. I am super shy around new people, but once I warm up, I will do everything to make you happy. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY My perfect day would be a good breakfast and a nice long walk to get the day started. And on the MOST fun day, we would head out into the world for some adventures. I am a big fan of the outdoors: I love to go camping, on a hike, or to a large yard to run around. You could throw a ball for me or play tug-o-war with one of my many toys! But I’m not always go, go, go… I am also happy to just hang out with you while you do your thing or maybe have a dog friend to play with for a little while. Lastly, we would cuddle for a few hours before crashing and that would be the best day ever! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love ALL the toys! The squeakers! The balls, big and small! Interactive toys! Tug toys! Food filled toys! Towel rolling - I love towels! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know all the basic obedience commands - sit, down, off, wait, stay, leave it, watch me, touch and shake! I am told I am super smart, but I am still learning and can get distracted quickly. Hey, I’m a puppy still, right? Patience and consistency will have me dazzling you and your friends with my fancy tricks! WHAT SCARES YOU? Nothing much scares me, but strangers make me nervous. It just takes me a little while to warm up. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I have been around kids a little, and I am not really a fan. They just do not understand I get nervous, which makes me even more nervous. I would prefer to be with older children or adults. DO YOU LIKE CATS? No, thank you. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like other dogs with slow introductions! I would love to play with other dogs, but none of my foster brothers like to play, so having a doggy brother or sister to romp around with would be just the BEST! I am uncomfortable with other dogs while I am on a leash, but I am getting better at that with practice. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Next to my human! HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? Great! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with three adults: my foster mom, foster dad, and grandma. There are three resident dogs of various sizes, too. My favorite human is my foster mom because we bonded at the beginning of my stay while she gave me my meds and stayed with me until I felt comfortable. She has taught me so much and I am the happy boy that I am today because of her dedication to my training. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I like being in my crate, and it keeps me safe and cozy. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? Also in my crate, but I would love to sleep on the cozy bed too. Did I mention I'm a great cuddler? DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love walks! I'm a little bit of a puller, but I am working on that and with patience and consistency, I will learn to be the best companion on walks. DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? I like to have my own stuff like toys and food and can be a little possessive if a new person or dog tries to take it away. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I sure am! I was potty trained at a very young age! I am such a good boy... I have never had an accident! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I love drinking water! I look pretty goofy drinking it but it is just so yummy and fun! I also don't mind showers, baths, or rain as long as you are there with me. And I am the best companion on your water sports adventures. I love going on the water with boats and paddle boards, but I haven’t done too much swimming. I am always up for new things, so I might love it if given a chance. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that they always play with me and that they are very patient and willing to work with me on my nervousness around people. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I was brought to the vet with a broken right foreleg when I was around four months old. I had no chip or collar and, sadly, nobody claimed me. I honestly don't know how I got there, but I was lucky that NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me in and allowed me to heal in a safe happy environment. And now that I am all healed, I am ready for my forever home! Will you be the one to show me how much fun my life can be with a loving family? ***MARBLES' ADOPTION FEE IS $300*** If you are interested in adopting Marbles, 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.
