ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a beautiful little girl.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am about one year old as of the end of 2024.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a pit bull mix.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I currently weigh 53 pounds. I am quite petite for a pit bull, but I am a growing puppy!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have a gorgeous, shiny black coat with a white chest. And my nose is the cutest thing! I have a little white patch of fur right on the top of it! I’m the most adorable pup, if I do say so myself!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I enjoy my kibble, but I am not picky about the foods that I eat and will not turn down a peanut butter-filled Kong if you felt so inclined to give me one!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I love to get cuddles from the humans. Oh, and I really love to run around in my backyard with my foster brothers. I am sweet, silly, and spunky… such a fun young pup!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day is full of activity. I would get some good food to grub on. Then after digesting, I would enjoy a long walk. I will play with my foster brothers. And then get some time to chew on a tasty bone. This perfect day would, of course, include more food and lots of cuddles with the humans before a good night’s sleep.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
My favorite toys are flavored bones.
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
Yes! I am a young pup still, but I already know “sit” and “in your crate.” I am still trying to perfect “stay” and “lay down.” I am very smart and am willing to learn any trick. As long as you have treats, you will have my attention.
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I am a very brave little girl! Fireworks didn’t even bother me! I can be a little nervous around new people sometimes, so I would prefer slow introductions (with treats please!)
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
Yes, my foster mom’s nephew is 7 years old. We get along great and love to play together.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
No, thank you. I prefer my friends to be of the canine persuasion.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I love playing and running with other dogs. I spend most of my time with my two foster brothers. I am still young, and I am still learning how to respect others’ boundaries. Please set me up for success with slow introductions when I meet new dog friends and I just know we will have so much fun!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
If I could be anywhere in the world, I would be chomping on a tasty bone while relaxing with my humans.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
My health is fantastic! I am neutered, fully vaccinated, and have no medical issues to worry about!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and dad, two resident dogs, and another foster dog. My closest companion is one of my older foster brothers. We play and run around together in the backyard.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
When I am home alone, I hang out happily in my crate. I am a very good girl!
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate at night. Oh, and I have spent two nights out of my crate before and I was well behaved overnight!
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes, I love walking on a leash. I am learning proper leash manners more with every walk.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
My foster parents are helping me learn how to be a good dog. Sometimes I bark at strangers in front of the house, but I’m still young and some of my habits are just because no one has ever taught me what I should be doing. With patience, I am very trainable!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
I am completely house trained and I will ask to go potty outside.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I am not the biggest fan of water, if you must know. I’ll stick with solid ground, thanks!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
My foster family has shown me what it feels like to be loved and I have so much fun playing with my foster brother.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was saved from neglect, tied up on a short chain in the front yard, not really having much fun. My foster parents took me in and NorCal Bully Breed Rescue helped get me ready to find my perfect forever home. I am so excited to spend my life feeling safe and loved. Will you take me home with you and love me forever?

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.
