Story
Meet Phoenix!-2 year old bulldog mix (breed is simply a guess!)-Weighs around 50lbsPhoenix recently spend some time in a foster home with a dog savvy adult and her resident, male dog. The foster reports that she did great in the car and was very well behaved on the trip to the house. She met the resident male dog and was polite. Her foster parent took her on a walk around the Santa Cruz Harbor. She did great on leash and walked nicely past dogs (small and large) and was gentle with people who she said “hi” to along the way. She was chill as a cucumber with bikers riding by and understanding that not every stranger wanted to be her friend. Back at the house, Phoenix enjoyed hanging out in the yard and sunbathing. She also snuggled up with her foster parent and gently rested her big head in her lap. We do not have any history of Phoenix with cats or children. Based on Shelter observations, Phoenix appears to be house trained but may need a brush up in her adoptive home. Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Story
Salem was adopted in December but the owner unfortunately cannot keep her so she is currently staying with me (her previous sitter and now foster mom) and I’m heartbroken that I am not able to keep her myself, but would love to remain her sitter if ever needed. She needs to be with an experienced dog owner who has been around special needs dogs. She is so sweet and chill, but is reactive to some dogs. - 5 years old (roughly) - 60lbs - Spayed - Potty trained, will cry when she needs to go - Kibble diet (Science Diet) - Good on car rides with hammock and bungee seatbelt - Beautiful, sweet, smart, silly, playful, chill - Loves walks, playtime, and hanging out on the couch - Good on walks with a pinch/choke collar and will only pull if you let her If you are looking for a constant companion who will love you to death but has some PTSD, then Salem is your girl. She needs an adopter who will be patient and kind. She is so easy to love and deserves to be loved back.

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos
Pleasanton, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Violet is the most joyful and lovable gal! She is SO happy to be alive and makes sure you know how grateful she is every second! Having a bad day? Violets smile will light up the WHOLE room. She is a cuddly girl that is happy to be around her person and will be happy to do anything with you! Want a chill day on the couch? Vi approves! Want to take a 3 hour hike? Vi also approves! She is a very adaptable gal! Violet is searching for her new bff! Could that be you? Violet is a smaller pittie mix, around 55lbs and is all muscle! She is a young dog but clearly has been bred multiple times. She has done great with other dogs her size or bigger with slow introductions. Violet is fully potty trained, leash trained, crate trained, and will happily nap in her crate if you need to leave her home while you go out. She is energetic and loves to play just as much as she loves to snuggle! Violet has some prey drive to small animals so no small dogs or cats. Because of how jumpy and mouthy she can get when she plays or gets excited, we believe she would do best and thrive in a home with kits 10+ only. She has been working on this with a trainer and has improved so so much! Violet has spent 6 weeks with a credible balanced trainer @boooshank (IG) and has made a lot of progress and learning to slow down and think before just acting, which is HUGE for her. She has struggled with being bale to control her impulses because of her prey drive but with working with @boooshank, she has been able to let the chickens be friends and not want to eat them when walking by! Whoever takes a chance on Violet gets a lot of AMAZING training perks from her trainer Lee! Violet comes with lifetime assistance from him, group classes for her whole life and 1:1 lessons, boarding options and priority swimming pool slots! Violet is currently being fostered in Woodland, CA. If you would like to meet Violet, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.californiabullyrescue.org/adopt.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Nugget is an introvert's best friend! He's medium energy, loves going out for walks and he walks well on leash, is crate trained, and respects established thresholds. He enjoys sunbathing, splooting, rolling around in the grass, chasing the water hose / sprinkler, napping after exercise, and is very food motivated. Nugget is slow to trust - he needs time to get to know you and does best in a calm, structured environment. While Nugs is not a social butterfly, when he bonds with someone he bonds for life. Once he trusts you he turns into a giant cuddle bug who melts when given affection. Nugs is dog friendly, and responds well to slow introductions. If you would like to meet Nugget, please fill out our adoption application on our website www.cabullyrescue.org/adopt Location: Lakewood, CA
