American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Rocklin, California

Hi! I’m Kleo, a sweet and gentle 13-year-old girl who is ready to enjoy the slower side of life. I love spending my days relaxing on a nice, comfy bed, soaking up the calm, and being close to my people. While I’m mostly a laid-back lady, I do get little bursts of playful energy now and then, which shows off my fun side. I would love a home where I can enjoy slow walks around the neighborhood, taking my time to sniff and explore all the good smells. Those quiet adventures and cozy days at home are my perfect match. I do not enjoy the company of other dogs and would feel most comfortable being the only dog in the home, so I am required to be the only dog in the home. I should also not visit dog parks or other off-leash dog play areas. I prefer to have my own space when enjoying my favorite treats, and I am still learning how to share them, so it is recommended that any children in my new home be 10 years old or older. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who will happily lounge by your side and enjoy life at a gentle pace, I would love to meet you!Adoption Price: $150

Meet BENNY! Gender: Male Weight: 65lbs Age: 2-3 yrs old Breed: Staffy Mix Energy Level: Medium Benny is a lot… of LOVE! This big ol’ brick-shaped hunk of love has been seriously let down by humans twice in his life, and yet he doesn’t hold it against a single one of us. There isn’t a mean bone in his body and he believes people are the most fantastical, wonderful creatures on earth. Benny’s only fault is expressing his overwhelming love of life. However, he just finished up a three-week board and train where he got some leash skills and learned the basics of Place, Sit, and settle, and even learned how to channel his love more safely than jumping on people and doors. He’s ready to find his forever family who will love him just as hard he loves them.If you're interested in Benny, complete an application at:https://3eyeblindrescue.org/applications

Meet APOLLO! Gender: Male Weight: 90 lbs. Age: 5-6 yrs. old Breed: Big Pittie Mix (Great Dane or Mastiff in there maybe?) Energy level: Medium Apollo has a big heart and a big body, but don’t tell him that! He believes he’s the size of a Chihuahua and light as a feather when he comes to cuddle with you—which he does often. He spends his day playing with foster sibling (another pittie mix), chewing on bones, and going for very long walks. This boy could walk forever! As for car rides, he prefers to sit up front… because, you know, he’s tiny and can’t see anything from the back seat. Apollo: • Is housetrained • Is crate-trained • Is good on leash • Enjoys being out and about but doesn’t mind staying at home either • LOVES going for walks • Is eager to learn and wants to do everything right Apollo is looking for a home where his big heart and big love will be appreciated: Someone who will be patient and kind, and help him learn more things. Right now he knows Sit, and he doesn’t pull on a leash, but there’s much more this boy wants to know! Apollo is a lover, not a fighter. He is sensitive and will be your loyal companion through and through. And he doesn’t mind sharing you with another canine kid to play with. If you think you’re a match for Apollo, please submit an application at 3eyeblindrescue.org/applications

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?Hi there, friend! I’m Willow.ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?I am a very sweet girl.HOW OLD ARE YOU?I am around nine years old as of mid-2026 (old enough to know what's important in life: naps, snacks, and cozy couches).WHAT BREED ARE YOU?I am a brindle couch potato with a PhD in relaxation.HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?Im weighing in at a healthy 40 pounds! I may not look like a superhero, but considering I weighed only 13 pounds when I was rescued, I've made an incredible comeback!WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?I am the perfect-sized couch companion with beautiful brindle fur and soulful eyes that can convince almost anyone to share a snack. I'm compact, cuddly, and built for snuggling.WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?I eat prescription kibble, and I take my meal schedule very seriously. Breakfast and dinner are the highlights of my day, and I appreciate anyone who serves them on time.WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?I am the easiest dog you will ever meet. I'm perfectly content napping most of the day, enjoying a short stroll around the neighborhood, and soaking up affection from my humans. I'm low-maintenance, mellow, and incredibly grateful for the simple things in life. As long as my food bowl gets filled twice a day, we're going to get along just fine.DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:My perfect day starts with waking up and enjoying a delicious breakfast. After that, I'd love to sit beside you on the couch while you drink your morning coffee and give me some gentle pets. Once that's done, it's back to bed for a nice nap. Later, a leisurely walk around the block sounds lovely, followed by—you guessed it—another nap. Dinner should arrive promptly, of course, and afterward I'd be happy to spend the evening lounging beside you on the couch. When I'm tired, I'll politely excuse myself and put myself to bed like the independent lady I am. But don’t forget to tuck me in before you go to bed.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?I don't really play with toys very often. Every now and then, I might give it a few minutes of attention. But honestly, I'd rather spend my energy perfecting my napping technique.DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?If being the best dog ever is a trick, then I'm an expert. I also know how to win hearts without even trying.WHAT SCARES YOU?I don't really care for feet. (And honestly, who does?) If they get too close to me, I'll simply move somewhere else. Problem solved.HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?I have been around older children. I'm a very mellow girl, so I prefer calm and gentle older kids over lots of running, noise, and chaos. The young humans I've met so far have been sweet and respectful, and I've enjoyed their company.DO YOU LIKE CATS?My foster family doesn't currently have a cat, but I was rescued alongside a cat, so I have some experience sharing my space with feline friends.HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?I can be a little selective about my dog friends. My foster family had a small dog that I grew to love very much before she passed away. I've also lived with a few foster dogs, and we all got along just fine by respecting each other's space. I'm not looking for a wrestling partner—I prefer peaceful coexistence.IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?Curled up on a comfy couch, taking a nap somewhere within petting distance of a human.HOW’S YOUR HEALTH?When I first arrived at the rescue, I had several health challenges. Thanks to a tremendous amount of love, medical care, and dedication from the rescue team, I have made an amazing recovery. I still take a few prescriptions and eat a special diet, but I'm feeling great and enjoying life.WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?I live with two adults, and I love them both equally...at least that's what I tell them. In reality, whoever is preparing my dinner is usually my favorite person in that moment. My foster dad does tend to sneak me extra treats occasionally, so he may have a slight advantage.WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?I relax in my crate. It's my cozy little retreat where I can nap peacefully until my humans return.WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?I sleep on a nice fluffy bed next to my humans' bed. They keep me in a little fenced area, which makes me feel safe and comfortable.DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?Absolutely. I walk beautifully on a leash.DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?Honestly? Not really. I don't bark much, I don't dig, and I'm generally a very easy roommate. My biggest flaw might be convincing people that I deserve extra treats.ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?Yes, I am completely house trained.DO YOU LIKE WATER?No thank you. I firmly believe water belongs in a bowl for drinking. Baths are tolerated because apparently humans insist on them.WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?They're wonderful. They provide delicious food, comfy places to nap, and endless love. In exchange, I generously allow them to share my couch. I especially love all the affection they give me and how safe they've made me feel.IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?I am so grateful to the amazing people at NorCal Bully Breed Rescue who refused to give up on me when things were rough in my life, but I am now ready to find a family of my very own. I'm looking forward to the final chapter of my journey: finding a forever family to love. Maybe that is you? **WILLOW’S ADOPTION FEE IS $100.If you are interested in adopting Willow, 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!

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?Hello! My name is Nala!ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?I am a beautiful girl.HOW OLD ARE YOU?We think I was born in early 2020. WHAT BREED ARE YOU?I am a Staffy Mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?I weigh 45 pounds. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?I have been told that I am a looker and I could not agree more! I have a beautiful orange and white coat with a white stripe down my chest to belly. Some say I have fox-like features because of my cute big ears that always stand up. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?I am not picky! I am currently eating kibble for my meals. And I love ALL the snacks, but I am willing to work for them, so feel free to dole them out liberally!WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?I am the happiest girl that can hardly keep still when I see you. I love being around people and trying to live my best life. I love all the people that I have met—and they all love me! I always have a smile on my face, and work so hard to make sure you do as well. When it is time to settle down, I love to snuggle next to my person watching a movie or good reality show. I am very sociable so I look forward to meeting more dogs and growing my friend group with the right introductions.DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:It all starts out with breakfast so I will be energized for our day! If the weather is right we can go for a nice walk in the neighborhood or your favorite trail. I have been learning how to paddle board and I know how to swim, but enjoy taking in the views from the board with my foster dad or foster sister Prada (who pushes me off at times!) I recently went camping and that was lots of fun! When my foster dad has to go to work, I enjoy napping in my pen, aka my apartment, and then he comes home so we can start playing. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love all toys! My favorite is a chew/bite toy that I grab onto and we can play tug or I will fetch it for you. Oh, and I love chasing the flirt pole around...gotta get that toy attached to it!DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?I know sit, down, up up to be let on the couch and also a break command. I am learning leave it, too. I love structure and learning through engagement. We can do some training together!WHAT SCARES YOU?So far, I am a little unsure about these hardwood floors. My grip is not the best on them, which makes it tough for me to move quickly on them. But if there is a throw rug, I will be dancing around trying to get you to join. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?I have met some children when I go to the lake and they do not bother me. DO YOU LIKE CATS?I have not been around cats. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?I love my canine foster sister, even though she can be pushy at times. A canine companion in my forever home might be fun if we do it right. 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 dad, and foster sister. We try and be outdoors as much as the weather will let us. If that is on a nature walk with a long lead or taking a cruise on the paddle board, I am all for it. I just want to go where you want to go. 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 dad, and foster dog sister. Foster dad is my favorite! He takes me lots of places and introduces me to his friends and family. He loves to see how I am the star of the party.WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?I hang out in my apartment, as my foster dad likes to call it. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?I sleep in my apartment, but every once in a while after long adventures, I sleep on the bed with my foster dad and sister. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?I love going for walks and sniffing all the great smells. I have been getting a little more freedom on a long line so I can learn to come back when called. DO YOU HAVE ANY NOT SO GREAT HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?I am very independent and, when I see squirrels and birds, I want to chase them—especially in the backyard. It is just my working breed coming out. I am learning how to walk in a heel position and I have been making great progress. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?I am! Since being with my foster dad I have not had one accident inside. I also learned how to use the dog door, so I enjoy taking myself out and coming back in. DO YOU LIKE WATER? I love going paddle boarding and will jump on the board no problem. I love being belly deep and running along the shore line. I know how to swim, but for now prefer to have my foster dad paddle me around. You could say I am taking advantage of being his passenger princess. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?They give me nothing but love and structure. I have to work for my treats and rewards, which teaches me new tricks. My foster dad gives me freedom and lets me make good decisions. And I love to play with my foster sister, Prada. She has been showing me the ropes on living my best life. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?I am a middle aged gal with so much life to live and love to share with you. I would love to meet you and give you a big kiss. Life is short, and I just want to be out living it with you. I am an outdoorsy type of girl, but I do love me a good night in. Can we have some fun and cuddles together?**THE ADOPTION FEE FOR NALA IS $300**If you are interested in NALA, 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 for understanding!
