ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a very sweet little girl. 🎀
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am approximately four years old as of May 2024.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a bully mix.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh approximately 40 pounds.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I happen to think I am pretty darn adorable, and I bet you’ll agree! I am a stocky little low rider with a silver coat, a blocky head, a huge smile, and heart-melting eyes. 😍
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Eat? Yes, please! I like to eat pretty much anything you offer me, so foster mom says I am currently on a diet (whatever that means). I love my kibble and will gladly accept any treats you’d like to give me.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I have heard foster mom refer to me as a “house hippo.” I am super laid back and easygoing. I am happy just hanging out on the couch cuddling with my people. 🦛
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day would certainly involve some food, of course. But other than that, any day where I am able to be close to my humans is my dream. If cuddles are on the agenda, I’m all over it!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I enjoy small stuffed animals and benebones. 🧸🦴
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I do not know any super fancy tricks, but I am very good at the basic “sit.” And I am trainable if food is involved! Let’s give it a try!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
The only thing that scares me is going into my crate, as it gives me a little anxiety. I would rather be out with my people. 😟
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I live with an 11-year-old foster sister who always has her friends over. I love all the attention and am definitely a crowd favorite!
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I have three cat siblings and I pay them no mind at all. When I am curious, I will give them a sniff and say hello, but otherwise they do not bother me. 🐱
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
With a proper introduction, I may do well with smaller dogs but can be selective with all dogs. If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t mind being the only dog in the house. More attention for me!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I would love to be anywhere close to my humans… Ideally close enough that they could rub my belly!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
My back legs are a little bit wonky, but I get around just fine. Overall, I am healthy and happy.
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and my foster (human) sister, three resident foster (dog) brothers, and three resident (cat) brothers. My closest companions are the humans. I love hanging out and cuddling with them.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I hang out in my crate unless foster mom is just leaving for a very short time.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate like a good girl. 😴
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I don’t mind walking on a leash. I don’t need long walks, though. I’m more of a “let’s hang out and cuddle” kind of gal! ☺️
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
When I have to go in my crate, I am pretty vocal about my displeasure with the situation. I will eventually settle down, but I need to make my feelings known first! 🫢
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
I am very good about letting my humans know that I need to go out to potty! As long as I have regular potty breaks, I won’t have any accidents in the house. Please be patient with me as I learn where and when I will potty when I come to your house.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I am definitely not built for water activities. I should be kept safe from pools and other bodies of water. Remember, they call me a HOUSE hippo… I am not one of those hippos that like the water!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love my foster family for taking such great care of me! They love me and cuddle with me… and FEED ME! 😃
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I don’t remember exactly what happened, but I ended up in a shelter before I was rescued by NorCal Bully Breed Rescue and placed in my wonderful foster home. I feel safe and happy here, but I would really like to find a home of my own where I will be loved and cuddled forever. Will you please be my forever person? 💕

Additional adoption info
*** You MUST live within the immediate Sacramento area which includes Sacramento County, parts of Placer and parts of ElDorado County.
ADOPTION PROCESS:
The first step in the adoption process is the completion of our online adoption application. You will be able to fill it out online and email it back to us. If you have any questions regarding your application, we are here to answer them. If you do not live within our specified area, your application will not be reviewed.
The second step is the home check. Our main priority in this step is insuring that your yard is 100% secure - there can be no loose boards or gaps in your fencing. If your dog is going to be spending anytime outside while you are at work or away from home, we ask that you have adequate shade or shelter from the elements.Before we schedule a home check, we may ask you to send us photos of your yard/fencing to get an idea of where the dog will be living. If you have any hesitation or questions about our yard check, please see our section on "How to Prepare for a Home Check."
The last step in the adoption process is the meet and greet. This is where we meet with you and any existing pets to ensure proper introductions are made. We want to make sure everyone gets along. Once all introductions are made, and everyone gets along, your rescue dog is yours to adopt.
Please note that there is no pressure involved, and if a situation that cannot be resolved arises, we will always take our dog back. Also, be aware that there is an acclimation period for each dog and every dog is different. It can take a few days or a few weeks for your new dogs to settle in. We will assist in any way possible, including referring our trainer to come work with you and the dog.
ADOPTION PREREQUISITES:
All of our dogs are rescues, meaning they have already needed help in some way, and will only go to homes where they will live a "CHARMED LIFE." All of our adoptive dogs will be indoor dogs with outdoor privileges. We believe that dogs are family members, and should be allowed to sleep indoors.The only time they should be kept outdoors is if the weather permits. Any applications looking for an outdoor only dog will be denied. All current pets in your home need to be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on heartworm preventive. Out of area adoptions are within reason and on a case-by-case basis.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A HOME CHECK:
Walk the perimeter of your yard. Take notes on the condition of your fence. Are there any loose boards or gaps under any sections of you fencing? If yes, these are easy fixes. You can nail any loose board back into place, and you can fill any gaps with pavers and gravel Do you have a lock on your gate? If not, please purchase one prior to your home check. Is there adequate shade or shelter for your new dog if it is going to be left outdoors while you're at work? Do you have anything hazardous in your yard, i.e. nails sticking out, chemicals left out, etc? Do you have a cat? If so, does your cat have a high spot it can retreat to if being chased? Are your garbage cans located somewhere near a gate where a dog can jump into them to get out? If so please move them. Please address these issues prior to our visit.
ADOPTION FEES:
All of our dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to being adopted. Our adoption fees are considered to be donations. All donations from adoption go right back into our rescue account, allowing us to continue to help dogs in need. At the bare minimum, the cost to properly vet a dog is $100. But some of the dogs we take on are medical cases, which can cost several thousand dollars. Because of this, we ask the following adoption fees:
$500 for puppies, which are any dogs under a year old
$300 for most adult dogs aged 1 year or older.
(French/English Bulldogs fees are significantly higher and are explained on our website.)

More about this rescue
NorCal Bully Breed Rescue (NBBR) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to helping needy animals in our community. While our focus is on "bully breeds," we don't discriminate and will very often help dogs of any breed, provided we have a foster home available. We take in dogs from local shelters with a focus on those with medical challenges and those whose behavior is declining due to the stress of the shelter environment. These are the dogs most often overlooked and in need of the most help.
NBBR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, our tax ID # is 46-3665141. Your donations are fully tax deductible and fund our operations and help pay our vet expenses.
NBBR is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless pets through the spaying/neutering of all of our rescued dogs and through education on the importance of spaying/neutering all animals. We provide information on low cost or no cost spay/neuter clinics in our surrounding areas.
Each dog that comes to us has been temperament tested, updated on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Many of our dogs have also been treated for various medical conditions including mange, heartworms, broken bones, neurological issues, and many others. One of our dogs can take anywhere from one month to one year to get ready for adoption and the cost for the dogs we take on can range from $100 to several thousand dollars. We take on dogs from shelters that are set to be euthanized for various reasons, including simply that they've been there too long, or they have a medical condition that precludes them from adoption to the public, making them "rescue only." This means only a rescue can pull them from the shelter, but also leaves us to be responsible for any costs to be incurred by said rescue dog.
We also take on strays and incur the cost of having them vaccinated, spayed, neutered and microchipped. We will help dogs who owners can no longer provide care by networking their dog, provided the owner can continue to house the dog. We insure a safe house for all of the dogs that we take on and provide all needed supplies for the foster homes that care for them until they are to be adopted. We also insure that they never end up in a shelter, running the risk of being euthanized due to lack of space or due to becoming "aggressive" caused by the stress of being in a shelter environment.
