My personality

My story

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

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hello, I’m Raisin! 🩷

ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I’m an energetic young lady.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am between two and three years old

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I’m a French Bulldog. 🐶

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I’m 26 pounds of perfection.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I’m adorable! I have a gray brindle coat and the most impressive underbite you’ve ever seen! My show stopper is my ears - one stands up, one flops down. Humans can’t resist my cuteness.🥰

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I’m a big fan of my kibble for breakfast and dinner, and I love doggie treats! Carrots too. Those little orange sticks are delicious! 🥕🥕 I will do just about anything for a treat. Sit. Stay. Walk up the silly couch stairs the humans have set up for me. If food is involved, I’m in!

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am a curious gal and I hate to miss out on anything. I want to be around the action and my people all the time. If not much is happening, I’ll take a nap until the fun starts again. I’m loving, snuggly, and playful too. Everyone laughs when I get the zoomies after dinner. I don’t want to brag, but I’m pretty fast.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day would start with snuggles as soon as I wake up. Then breakfast and a walk around the neighborhood to say hello to all my friends. I’d come home and take a nap to recharge before playing in the yard. All that running around would make me sleepy again so I’d take an afternoon nap with my foster mom. Our dog-friend, Harvey, would come over for dinner and we’d play in the backyard all evening. Then, to top it all off, I’d get to snuggle in bed with my foster parents all night.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love balls! They are so much fun to chase! 🎾

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I can put an entire tennis ball in my mouth! I’m not great at bringing it back yet, but I sure do love to chase it! I’ll sit for a treat, and am pretty good at “stay” now too! I also respond quickly to the word “No.” I’m a good girl so I don’t hear it too often, but when I do, I know that I have to stop what I’m doing. 😇

WHAT SCARES YOU?
Sudden loud noises startle me, but I’m a brave girl. The vacuum cleaner is curious. I can’t decide if I want to play with it or stay away.

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I love kids and they love me! I get to play with big kids and the ones more my size, too. My foster family has a 14 and 11-year old. I love them and their friends too. I recently got to spend a week with a 5-year old and 17-month old and I was a very good girl with both ages.

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I’m not sure if I’ve ever met a cat.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I LOVE to play with other dogs!!! But I want to be the favorite, so I’ll wedge myself between another dog and the humans if they are giving that dog too much attention.

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Napping with my human. I love to snuggle up for a nap.

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am a healthy gal! Before my foster family started caring for me, I was hit by a car, so I favor my right rear leg, but it doesn’t slow me down. I’ve been told not to jump on or off of things and not to climb many stairs, but I need guidance from my humans to keep me in line with those rules.

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster dad, foster mom, two big kids - 14 and 11, and their resident dog. My foster mom is my favorite. I follow her around all day and love to snuggle up with her anytime she sits down.

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I have the entire office all to myself! It has my dog bed, food and water in it. I’m such a good girl when I’m in the office. I don’t bark or whimper at all.

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in the office too. I don’t mind it, but I’d rather sleep with the humans. 😴 Have I mentioned that I love to cuddle?

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Walking on a leash is so much fun! I’m pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. I don’t need a long walk; maybe half a mile or so. 🦮

DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I wouldn’t call barking at other dogs from the window a bad habit. I’m protecting the house from potential danger. 🦸

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
I am doing my best. My humans take me outside first thing every morning and make sure I go outside throughout the day. I’m learning to tell someone that I need to go potty by going to a door, but I still have an accident occasionally.

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I love to stand in the kiddie pool when it’s hot outside, but I am not built for swimming.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
My foster family is home a lot, so we can spend tons of time together. I love all the action when the kids and dogs are around, and the quiet moments are nice too. They have a backyard that I can run around in, a big dog that I try to play with all the time, and they let me cuddle up on the couch with them. Being part of the family is the best.

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
That is such a good question. I don’t remember much from before NorCal Bully Breed Rescue found me. All I know is that I am ready now to find a family that I can call my own forever and ever. Maybe you can be my family? 💕

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.
