My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I'm Peaches, your future best friend! 🍑

ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I'm a girl!

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I'm about 7 years young as of June 2024.

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a lovely pit bull mix.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am a sturdy 70 pounds of pure love.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have the prettiest dark brown eyes and a sleek, bluish-gray coat with adorable white markings on my chest and toes. And let’s not forget my cute floppy ears! 🥰

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I mainly eat dry food for skin and stomach care, but my favorite treats are freeze dried. Yum!

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I'm well-behaved, patient, and loyal—a perfect companion. I'm medium to low energy, very quiet, and rarely bark. Fireworks don't bother me, and I simply leave the room when Mr. Noisy Broom and Ms. Chatty Vacuum come around. My favorite things are rolling over for belly rubs and sleeping!🙂🙃🙂

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day starts with morning yawns and stretches, followed by a dash to eat my breakfast. Then it's outside to enjoy the warm sun and catch a few bugs. When I'm feeling playful, I like to practice my ninja somersault moves – makes me feel like a pup again!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Toys? I'm not much into toys. I'm more of a plush bed aficionado, complete with pillows and blankets fit for royalty. Though a good rope or stuffed animal does catch my eye from time to time. 🧸

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
Oh, you bet! I know lots of human words like "yes," “sit,” “wait," "out,” “come here,” “no,” “lay down,” “in your crate," and "stay.” I’m smart but a bit stubborn – princesses have standards, you know! I love belly rubs and will roll over for them anytime.

WHAT SCARES YOU?
Not much bothers me, except for strange solicitors at the door or being woken up abruptly.

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I adore kids and love all humans equally - they give lots of attention and let me snuggle up next to them.

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I do okay with cats. I feel most comfortable with calm companions and slow introductions are necessary.🐱

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I would do best as the only dog in the home. That means more treats and belly rubs for me, right? When I’ve been introduced to new dogs since being rescued, I just don’t have very good social skills. I’m not aggressive AT ALL, I just never learned proper dog etiquette and I think every dog is a puppy that needs to be flipped.

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I love being around humans, napping on my bed or the couch, or taking walks around the neighborhood. I’m great in the car and love to travel—just tell me when and I’m ready!🚙

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am the picture of good health! 💖

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and dad. My foster dad is my favorite because he treats me like royalty—letting me lick his face, giving the best belly rubs, sharing his snacks, and letting me sit on his lap!

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I hang out in my crate or on the couch. I’m fully crate trained and don't make a fuss when left alone. You’ll find me right where you left me, maybe with some pillows rearranged for maximum comfort.

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my cozy crate every night. I fluff my pillows and blankets to get the best beauty sleep!😴

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes, I love walks! I am working on not getting too excited when seeing other dogs, but I'm easy on the leash otherwise.🐕‍🦺

DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS?
I sometimes playfully nip when I'm very enthusiastic. I am actively working to moderate this behavior, which originated from nurturing many puppies in my youth with limited social interaction.

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?
Absolutely! I only go potty in my backyard or on walks.

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I love drinking lots of water and enjoy warm baths, especially when they come with a spa treatment and a nice pedicure! But watch out… I sometimes get the zoomies after bath-time!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that they take me on daily walks, give me savory treats, and best of all, lots of belly rubs! 😊

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was left behind in a parking lot in West Sacramento. I waited there until a kind local shop owner found me and got in touch with NorCal Bully Breed Rescue. Now I'm just waiting for my perfect forever home. So, what do you say? Are you ready to make me your loyal companion? Let's make some beautiful memories together!💕

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.)

Adoption application

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.
