My personality

My story

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

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
My name is Prada, because I’m fancy.

ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I’m a girl!

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am around one year old as of the end of 2024.

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am the most beautiful bully mix you’ll ever meet!

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am about 64 pounds of perfection!

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have the most fabulous coloring. “Stunning” is a word I’ve head uttered by humans when they look at me. My coat is grey, white and black, but I almost look blue. I’m told they call it a Merle coat, which is extra fancy and unique. I’m also the most perfect size of not too big, not too small….I’m just right!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Christmas pillows. Wait … scratch that!!! I eat kibble and love dog treats. I take them gently, even though I get so excited and wiggly, I can barely sit still.

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am shy at first but warm up fast. I really love to give kisses and hugs. I’m sort of a lap dog because I always want to be as close as possible to my human. Keep in mind I am still a puppy so while I’m calm in general, I do love to party! Then we zoom, zoom, zoom!!!!

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
Oh that is easy! Food, maybe a short walk, toys, toys and more toys. Snuggle time after the human is home from work, and then a yummy treat in my crate for bedtime.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love all toys! Chew toys keep me busy and happy.

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I can sit, although my sit comes with the aforementioned wiggles. I’m young and aim to please, so you can teach me more. I might require snacks!

WHAT SCARES YOU?
Loud noises, like the Roomba that cleans the fur floor. That thing is crazy!

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I sniff them and then immediately expect belly rubs and loving. I might knock little kids down with my excitement, so play time should always be monitored, of course.

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Not too sure what a cat is.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I seem to enjoy the company of other dogs. I’d likely do well either with or without dogs in my forever home. I recently met a dog named Squish. We had so much fun walking and playing in the yard! Then we snuggled on the couch and our dog beds. Slow introductions are always best with new friends. Please set me up for success!

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I love to be anywhere with my humans!

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am a strong, healthy girl. I had a bum leg at the shelter, but that has healed. You can still see it a little bit, but I get around well!

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
My foster mom, who is my absolute favorite … except at bath time. The resident dog in my foster home is not dog friendly, so we crate and rotate and don’t bother each other. My buddy Squish and some other dogs come and go. Lots going on around here!

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I hang out in my crate, aka dog condo.

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
In my condo. I did get to sleep in bed a couple times with the human lady. I slept the whole night and wasn’t snoring or punching her with my paws. Woo hoo! Maybe that means you will let me sleep in your bed with you?

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes, I love going on short walks around the neighborhood. I’m building distance now that my leg feels so much better!

DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Not really. I am still a puppy, so part of what I need from you is to show me what is “not so great” since I don’t know yet!

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
I was likely left outdoors at my previous home, so potty training is still a process. I need a routine and patience as I learn what you want me to do at your house. Bonus, I don’t go potty in my crate, so if you leave, that is the best place for me to be.

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
Too cold for that! My foster mom tried to get me into the bathtub one day, and I was like “heck no!” But once I got in and had warm water and bubbles, I was chill. Not gonna admit to “liking” the bath, though!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I have all the basics and tons of love and patience. It’s pretty simple and I am easy to please.

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was at the shelter for a month with a broken leg until I was rescued by NorCal Bully Breed Rescue. After getting out of that place, I’ve been able to heal and now that is all behind me. I’m ready for my forever home and lots of snuggles. Do you want to snuggle with me?

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.
