Bella's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>I am Bella!<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?<br/>I am a little girl. <br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?<br/>We are estimating that I was born in 2022.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU?<br/>I am a French Bulldog with a big personality packed into a compact little body.<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?<br/>I'm a perfectly-sized 20 pounds of precious. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?<br/>I have beautiful blonde fur, adorable bat ears, and a face that makes people smile wherever I go. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>I LOVE kibble. Seriously, meal time is one of my favorite parts of the day. If you open a bag of food, you immediately have my full attention.<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?<br/>I am sweet, affectionate, and people-focused. I love being around my humans and soaking up attention whenever I can get it. Whether we're hanging out on the couch, going for a walk, or playing in the yard, I'm happiest when I'm spending time with my people.<br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:<br/>My perfect day starts with breakfast, followed by some quality time with my humans. Then I'd love a game of fetch or a nice walk around the neighborhood. Throughout the day, I'll happily accept pets, belly rubs, compliments, and snacks (not necessarily in that order). After dinner, I'd love to relax near my humans before settling in for a good night's sleep.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?<br/>Anything I can fetch! Balls are my favorite!<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?<br/>I know how to expertly retrieve a ball and bring it back for another throw. I'm also pretty talented at getting people to stop what they're doing and pet me. Pro-level on that one. <br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>So far, we haven't found much that scares me. I tend to be a confident, happy-go-lucky girl who takes life's adventures in stride.<br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?<br/>I enjoy people of all ages, especially those who are kind and respectful. One thing to know about me is that when I'm playing fetch, I can get pretty focused on the game and may not always notice that a small child is nearby. Because of that, I would do best with children who understand dog boundaries and can give me a little space when I'm in full fetch mode.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS?<br/>No cats for me, please. I'd be happiest in a cat-free home.<br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?<br/>I currently coexist well with another foster dog, but if I'm being honest, people are my favorite. I don't need a canine companion and would be perfectly happy being the center of your world. That said, I can peacefully share my home with another respectful dog.<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br/>Right next to my humans-whether that's on the couch, in the backyard playing fetch, or out for a walk together.<br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?<br/>When I arrived at the rescue, I had some significant skin issues that needed attention. Thanks to excellent veterinary care, a few prescriptions, and lots of love, I am doing very well. My skin condition, although chronic, has improved dramatically, and I feel better every day. I will likely need to be on long-term medications for my autoimmune skin condition and an eye issue as well. But as long as I have the meds on board, I am comfortable and can live a full, comfortable, fabulous life!<br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?<br/>I live with my foster mom and foster dad, and a canine foster sister. I love both humans equally. Honestly, anyone who gives me attention instantly becomes my favorite person. Why choose just one?<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?<br/>I spend my time relaxing in my pen and waiting patiently for my people to come home.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?<br/>I love having a comfortable place to curl up and get a good night's rest in a pen near my humans.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?<br/>Yes! I walk very nicely on a leash and enjoy exploring the neighborhood with my people.<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>My biggest "issue" might be that I'll happily remind you when it's time for attention. Otherwise, I'm a pretty easy-going girl.<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?<br/>Yes, I am house trained.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER?<br/>Water is great for drinking, and I always make sure to stay hydrated. I tolerate a bath well but I would rather not.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>They give me everything a dog could want-good food, lots of love, walks, and plenty of attention. Most importantly, they helped me heal and showed me how wonderful life can be.<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>Today, I'm healthy, happy, and ready to find a forever family who will continue to spoil me with attention, games of fetch, and lots of love. Wanna be my human? <br/><br/>** The adoption fee for Bella is $750 (for: spay surgery, dermatology and eye specialist diagnostics and treatment, current vaccines, microchip, monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention).<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Bella, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org<br/><br/>For information on why our Bulldog fees are set as they are, please click on the following link:<br/>https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5004742079644959&id=333019703483910&mibextid=qC1gEa<br/><br/>At this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).<br/><br/>For more information on what that means and why that is, please click on the following link:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=n<br/><br/>Thank you so much in advance!

NorCal Bully Breed Rescue's Adoption Policy
**We are currently only adopting out to the immediate Sacramento area which includes Sacramento County, parts of Placer County and parts of ElDorado County. We currently hold adoption events once a month at the Pet Food Express store in the Roseville Fountains. Please check our Facebook page for announcements! ADOPTION PROCESS: The first step in the adoption process is the completion of our online adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org. **Your application will not be reviewed if you do not live with the immediate Sacramento area which is Sacramento County, parts of Placer County or some parts of Eldorado County) 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 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 to 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 one 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 dog aged 1 year or older. (French/English Bulldogs have significantly higher adoption fees which are explained on our website.)
