WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi there! I am your new best friend, Carl!
ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I’m the most handsome gentleman ever!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
As of the end of 2024, I am around one and a half years old.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a pit bull mix!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am 62 pounds of perfection!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
Stunning is an understatement. I have a blocky head, a gorgeous fawn coat, am fit and fabulous, and have the most beautiful gold eyes. Truly breathtaking!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I’m not picky. If you’re offering, I’m accepting! Let’s eat!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am such a sweet, gentle boy. I am mellow when I need to be, playful when appropriate, and overall a perfect gentleman.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
Oh boy, I get to pick my perfect day!?! It would start with a yummy meal, then a long walk, maybe a nap to rejuvenate, then let’s have some play time! Don’t forget dinner, then some quality couch time with my humans before I crawl into my cozy bed for a snooze!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Oh, I’m good with most any toy, really. Squeaky toys? Yes, please! A soft stuffie? That sounds delightful! A ball to chew on and chase around the yard? How fun is that!?!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I am good with “sit,” especially when it involves treats! I am willing to learn if you’re willing to teach, so maybe we can spend some time having fun bonding through training.
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I’m mostly afraid of ending up out on the street again. But I trust that the wonderful family that gives me a forever home will never let that happen to me again. That makes the future exciting and not so scary.
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I haven’t been around children, so I can’t say how I’d feel around them, to be honest. Maybe older kids that understand how to be respectful of my space?
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Oh, no thanks. I’ll pass on cats!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I am good with other dogs, as long as you give me time and space for proper introductions. I was rescued along with another dog friend and have not been reactive to other dogs that I have come across since then.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Anywhere that I am safe and loved by my humans. Spending time with a human that is mine forever would be the best place in the world!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I’m very healthy! Pretty much perfect, right??
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I am a good boy in my crate, also known as my man cave.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes, yes, yes! I love walking on a leash!
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
I mentioned that I’m perfect, right? I don’t have much in the way of “not so great” habits at this time. I stay off the furniture unless invited, I take food gently when it is offered, and I don’t react when another dog is pestering me outside my crate… What a good boy!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
Yes, I am! I will need you to show me where you want me to potty, and be patient with me as I learn my new space, but I will figure it out quickly.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I haven’t had a lot of experience with swimming, but I am a good boy so I will tolerate a bath, even if it’s not exactly my idea of a good time.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
A friend and I were cruising the neighborhood and found our way into a convenience store on a really hot day. The nice people saved us and contacted NorCal Bully Breed Rescue to take care of us. Now NorCal Bully Breed Rescue is helping us find a loving forever home. Would you please take me home with you and show me what it feels like to be safe and loved?

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.
