Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi! I am Billy!
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am such a sweet boy!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I was born in August 2022.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
French Bulldog
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
24 pounds
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have a soft black and brown brindle coat, slim frame and long legs!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I would like to eat everything, but I’m only allowed larger kibble because I have a cleft palate.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am pretty sure I was a cat in my previous life. While I am friendly and playful, I am also super particular about how I like to be touched. Sometimes I am okay with belly rubs, and other times I am uncomfortable with it. Sometimes I like having my back massaged gently, but then I might wiggle away the next time you try. If I’m feeling cuddly, I might curl up next to you, but then if you try to cuddle me, I’ll have to think about whether I’m alright with that. See, I’m a cat trapped in a dog’s body!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day would be playing with my fellow foster siblings, getting my zoomies out in the yard, sunbathing, and then napping next to my humans. Plus treats, treats, and more treats!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
My favorites are soft toys, no squeaker required! They are soothing to me!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I do! I am very good at SIT, especially when I know there are treats being offered as a reward! I know EAT means go to my crate and wait patiently for my kibble! And my foster grandma has taught me PAW, which I’m very proud of! My foster mom says I’m pretty smart, and I have to agree with her on that!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Well, I’ve always had a nervous disposition. My foster mom says I’m like her little Italian grandmother, always slightly worried about something…except fireworks. Those don’t bug me at all!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I have been around children ages four and up, though I’m probably best with kids that understand I am not into hugs.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I’ve never met one…unless we count my past life experiences.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I am very friendly with other dogs! I get along well with all the other fosters and resident dogs in the home!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Snuggled up on the couch with my forever family! Oh and I just LOVE sunbathing every chance I get!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I have a cleft palate that requires that I stick to a certain size kibble so it doesn’t get caught in my cleft. And if you know clefties, we sometimes sneeze a lot to clear our palates! I am very good at letting my grandma blot my nose when I sneeze. I was also born with an underdeveloped left eye, but it has grown to a healthier size over the last several months!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom, foster grandma, and several young adults that come over almost every day. I love them all, but I would say grandma is my favorite because I nap with her on a leather recliner while mom is working.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
Safely in my crate, which is my favorite safe space!
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep very well in my crate!
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Well, since you asked nicely, I’ll tell you … I am really not a fan of leash walks. The idea of leaving the house is just not appealing to me. I have everything I need at home!
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I like to “nibble” on my people. I don’t bite, but it is soothing to me to nibble. I also love to chew the tags off blankets, so my foster mom makes sure those are cut off.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yes, I am house trained and go out the doggie door perfectly every time I need to potty. If there isn’t access to the doggie door, I will come tell you I need to go!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I love drinking it, but I’m not a fan of bathing in it so please make those quick! I will go out in the rain to do my business because I am a good boy… But I certainly won’t stay out there too long. No thank you!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love hanging out with the other foster dogs and my humans.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was surrendered the day I was born due to my cleft palate and underdeveloped left eye. NorCal Bully Breed Rescue saved me, tube fed me until I could eat safely on my own, and made sure that I have been loved for my whole young life so far. But I am ready to find a family that I can call my own. Will you be mine?
