ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I am a sweet little girl.🎀
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I’m about 1-1/2 years old as of October 2024.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a pit bull mix.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh about 40 pounds.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
For starters, I’m a tri-pod, which means that I have three legs instead of four! Pretty cool, right? Some say I look like “Pete the Pup” from the Little Rascals, but I have to politely disagree because I’m much cuter! I’m mostly brown with white on my face, chest, and toes. My best feature is my signature brown patch on my right eye. 🐶
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Anything. Seriously, I’ll even eat lettuce. 🥬 Somehow, I still manage to keep my girlish figure.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am so sweet and happy ALL the time! I love everyone, I just want to experience ALL the fun things that life has to offer.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day would consist of car rides, playing with my ball and other dogs, car rides, pup cups, car rides and naps. Did I mention I like car rides? 😉🚗
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Oh boy, my absolute favorite toy is a squishy non-destructible ball. I want my ball with me at all times! If it gets too dirty, I’ll find the nearest bowl of water to wash it off. My ball and I have so much fun together!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I know how to catch treats – that was a top priority to learn. I am also learning the command “gentle,” and I figure that’s a great way to get more treats!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Not much – except vacuums. When my foster mom vacuums, I’ll wait outside until she’s done. Oh, and I don’t really like being alone. That’s no fun, and I’m all about the fun! 🥳
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I haven’t been around children yet.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
When I was at the store one time, I got to sniff a carrier that had a kitten inside. I was very nice and polite to that kitty, but I have not interacted directly with any yet.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I like other dog friends with proper introductions. I have a high-energy play style and some dogs might not like that, so it will be important that my forever family set me up for success when meeting new dogs. 🐶
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
On the couch snuggling with my foster mom and my foster brothers. Cuddles are the BEST!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
Excellent! I successfully recovered from surgery to remove my injured hind leg, and now I am the picture of good health!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and my two foster brothers, Buster (pit bull mix) and Oliver (chihuahua mix). I love them both. But my favorite buddy is Buster. I love using him as a pillow. We have a lot of fun together.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I like the comfort of my kennel. My foster mom keeps the room dark with a fan on for white noise. This helps to keep me calm. ☺️
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
Don’t tell anyone, but I convinced my foster mom to let me sleep on the bed with my foster brothers. But I also don’t mind sleeping in my kennel. 💤
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I LOVE walking on a leash. I get a little excited, but can you blame me? I can move around pain-free now! But I suppose I do need to work on my leash manners a bit. 🦮
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
Funny you should ask… I have been known to do a little landscaping in the yard on occasion. I’ve got a pretty good eye for these things, if you ask me! 😜 As I mentioned before, I don’t love being alone for long periods of time, and sometimes I take out my frustrations on my blanket or bed. Oops! 🤭
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
Yes, I’m potty trained. No issues there!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I do love water! I love to drink it. I love to play in it. I love to wash my toys in it. When it was hot, I could stay in my foster brothers’ pool all day! I even like baths, if you can believe that! 🛁
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
My foster brothers are the best! I really love cuddling with them. And car rides are my favorite, since they often result in us getting pup cups on the weekends. My foster mom shows me how to be a good girl and I know I am safe with her.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
Oh, I don’t hang on to the past anymore. I ended up in the shelter with an injury to my hind leg, and things were not great until NorCal Bully Breed Rescue came and rescued me from that place. While I have been healing from my surgery, I’ve learned what it is like to have a safe and loving space. And, wow, life with someone loving me is pretty great! I’d really like to find a home where I will be loved forever. Would you please take me home 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.
