HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am two years old as of April 2024.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh about 95 pounds.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am tall, dark gray and sinfully handsome, with absolutely mesmerizing large gray/light brown eyes!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I am very happy with kibble and love apples. I am a very healthy eater!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am the sweetest gentle giant! I am super shy at first, and can be a little nervous about new things. However, once I get comfortable in my surroundings, I get really playful and cuddly! And I definitely love my quiet time to snooze in peace. Overall I am just a low-key, lovable introvert
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY
My perfect day is pretty simple: good food, good friends, and good naps! I'm not one for adventure so staying home and just enjoying my big backyard is the best!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love chew toys! My favorite is the Benebone. Yummy!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I am pretty good at sit, down, and paw to shake. I also will use my paw to ask you nicely for attention, like belly rubs!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
My shyness makes me a bit uncertain about many things. I may take a week or two to warm up to a new place, once I know what and where everything is. I am so happy my foster mom is patient with me as I adjust to new things!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN, DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I am naturally very kindhearted and gentle. However, due to my size, a home with older children, or no children, may be a better fit than with small children.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I have ignored cats that I have come across while in foster care, but I have not lived with any. So no cats please.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I LOVE other dogs, big or small!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I would be napping on a quiet beach somewhere in the Caribbean. But I'd settle for a large backyard with a kiddie pool!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am very strong and healthy. No issues!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
My sister, Cleo, and I live with our foster mom, foster grandma, and four other small dogs. We love to play and spend time together. My favorite human is my foster mom, of course. She shows me patience and understanding, and gives me toys and treats and food! She is the best!
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I am crate trained, so I nap in my cozy crate when I am home alone. I love having my crate as a safe place while I acclimate to new places.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I love to steal my foster mom’s bed for my daytime naps, especially if foster mom naps with me! But I sleep comfortably in my crate, too.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON THE LEASH?
I am not comfortable with walking out in the big scary world yet. I don’t mind the leash, but until I am more confident, walks are a bit overwhelming.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, FOR INSTANCE DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
My foster mom says I like to hog the bed during naptime, but I have no bad habits! I don’t bark excessively, don’t chew on things I am not supposed to…foster mom said she’s so pleased with what a good boy I am!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?
Yes, I am house trained.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I LOVE water! I get excited to play in the water, and I tolerate baths, even though they’re not as much fun as a kiddie pool!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that they let me be me, without crowding me or pushing me to be an extrovert like my sister. I may be shy and quiet, but I do love my humans and the cuddles they give me.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NOR CAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
Cleo and I were found roaming the streets all by ourselves. My shyness may stem from that situation, and that is possibly why I am not thrilled about taking walks outside of my safe space. But I am growing more confident each day, and I would love to come to your home to experience a fun new life of love and cuddles with you!

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.
