Belle's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? <br/>Hi there, I’m Belle! <br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? <br/>I’m an adorable girlie girl.<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU? <br/>Probably about a year old as of December 2025.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU? <br/>I’m a petite lil bully mix.<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? <br/>Like I said, I’m a petite lil lady, just over 40 pounds.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? <br/>I’m white and reddish brown in color, and I have a cute, perfectly round spot right on the top of my head between my ears. I am a lowrider with a longer body, broad shoulders and short little legs. Foster dad says I have an adorably wrinkly nose. And foster mom adds that I have some cute little beauty marks on my snout. Wow, I’m blushing! <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? <br/>I eat my dry kibble for breakfast and dinner, and I really enjoy snacks of all kinds, from simple dog biscuits to peanut butter, baby carrots and bits of apple. <br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? <br/>Big! Foster mom says I am a perfect mix of silly, sweet, and spunky - teehee!<br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY?<br/>I like to start my day with biiiiiig stretches when I get out of my crate, followed by some cuddles and belly rubs before going potty and having breakfast, then maybe a little sniffing and exploring around the back yard. Then I like to nap, sunbathe and play with toys throughout the day while my foster parents are working. After that, I expect some quality snuggle time, followed by dinner, then a little more play time and - you guessed it - more snuggling before bed.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? <br/>I don’t discriminate when it comes to toy selection, but I really love soft rubber bones and balls. I especially love chewing on a Chuck-it ball after dinner. <br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? <br/>I only know sit right now, but I could probably learn more!<br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>Not much of anything scares me - I may be small, but I’m very brave! <br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? <br/>Just briefly, at a recent adoption event and also out at a brewery with my foster mom and dad. I LOVED all the attention they were giving me and really leaned in for pets. I think I’d enjoy being part of a family with kids! <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS? <br/>What are cats?<br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? <br/>Because of my size, I feel the need to act tough at first, but with slow introductions I do like other dogs. I’m still learning how to play, but for now, I’m totally cool coexisting (and even cuddling) with my foster fur sisters who are very tolerant and patient with me.<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br/>That’s easy! I would be at home on the couch snuggled up to my humans. <br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? <br/>I have a bit of a wonky back end that I take joint supplements for. The vet also says that I have something called a heart murmur. These things don’t really slow me down too much, but they are something to keep an eye on. To help, it would probably be best if I lived in a single story home, and I’m definitely not suited for a lot of physical activity.<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 dad plus two foster fur sisters. I love them all, but I love to cuddle with foster mom and dad the most.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? <br/>In my crate. But my foster mom and dad both work from home so I don’t have to be alone very often, and not for long periods of time.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? <br/>I sleep in my crate, too… I’d rather sleep in the human’s bed for sure, but I do just fine in my cozy crate and sleep through the night! <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? <br/>Yes, I love it! When I see my leash, I trot straight over to the front door. And I can’t move too fast so I’m really easy on leash and not reactive to other dogs, bikes, etc.<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>I have a big personality and I know what I want… so sometimes I can be a bit demanding. Like when I NEED to be snuggled, and when my foster parents are eating… I tell them they should be sharing by using my voice to remind them that I’m nearby! I also like to go outside and talk to the other neighbor dogs, but I’m learning to use my voice less.<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?<br/>I am potty trained! There’s a doggie door in my foster home so I just go outside whenever I want. I might have a few accidents in a new home though, until I figure out a new routine, so please be patient with me.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER?<br/>I don’t really mind the rain or bath time… so far so good.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>I love that they welcomed me into their home and gave me time to get comfortable and feel safe. And I LOVE that they let me on the couch and cuddle with me all the time… I’m a master cuddler! <br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?<br/>Would you please take me home with you and show me what it feels like to be safe and loved? I know we will have SO much fun! <br/><br/>**BELLE’S ADOPTION FEE IS $300.**<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Belle, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org<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.)
