Birdie's Story

**THIS IS A COURTESY POST. BIRDIE IS NOT IN OUR RESCUE, BUT WE WANT TO HELP HER FIND A HOME. SEE CONTACT INFO AT THE END OF THE BIO.**<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>Birdie – because I am always in flight!<br/> <br/>ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?<br/> I am a young girl.<br/> <br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?<br/>I was born May 8th, 2025.<br/> <br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU?<br/>I am a Husky mix.<br/> <br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?<br/>A very willowy 37-ish lbs.<br/> <br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?<br/>I am a gorgeous girl with a red coat and beautiful brown eyes. And I have to mention my EPIC party ear! One of my big fabulous ears loves to stand up all on its own and really gives me such a fun look!<br/> <br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>I eat my puppy kibble for meals, but I get special treats of peanut butter, green beans, carrots, bananas and plain yogurt. Oh, and my absolute favorite treat is cheese!<br/> <br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?<br/>I would play all day if I could! I am very gentle and submissive – unless it’s play time! I am still learning about the world, but with consistency and encouragement, my confidence continues to grow. I am curious and open to trying new things. You can also touch my ears, my tail, my teeth, my paws etc, I am very easy to handle. <br/> <br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:<br/>Play time! I would choose playtime over food if I could! After breakfast, I would love to play outside with a canine companion until nap time. After nap time, let’s go on a long nature walk, as I really enjoy the quiet countryside, the birds and all the smells. Then it would be dinner time. After dinner, my perfect day would have another play session until it’s time to settle down with my humans before bedtime.<br/> <br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?<br/>I really like to chew on antlers, and sometimes I get peanut butter put on top! I am not really into toys, as I prefer to play with my foster brother!<br/> <br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?<br/>I know ‘’settle down,” “that’s none of your business,” “come here,” ‘’wait,” “say hi!,” “let’s go!,” and ‘’go potty.” I am still young but I learn quickly! <br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>I am still learning about the world. I used to be on alert on my walks in downtown, but have really been building confidence now that I am safe in a foster home. I bark when a new person comes in the house, but settle quickly. I’ve made great progress in both these areas! <br/> <br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?<br/>At my foster home, I have not been around children. However, I am very gentle and submissive, so I would probably be great with kids. <br/> <br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS?<br/>There are two cats at my foster home; one I do not bother as she’s grumpy, and one I really, really want to play with! We go nose-to-nose, but I am always leashed because I get too excited and want to romp with her! <br/> <br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?<br/>I love playing with my canine foster brother! On walks, I have learned that other dogs are OK and I no longer bark at them. I would be so happy to have another fun dog to play with in my forever home.<br/> <br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br/>Playing in the yard, playing in the grass, or playing at the park with a dog brother or sister!<br/> <br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?<br/>Excellent! I have a gorgeous coat, my weight is perfect, my teeth are super white – I am very healthy!<br/> <br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?<br/>I live with two cats, one dog, two 22 year olds and my foster parents. I spend most of the day in the office on my bed with my foster dad. In the early afternoon, I go for a walk with my foster mom, or we do a family trip to the levee. Late in the afternoon, I go to the rooftop to play with my canine foster brother – that’s my favorite time of the day!<br/> <br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?<br/>I am safe and comfortable in my crate.<br/> <br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?<br/>I sleep in my crate. I still wake up to potty, and will let you know, but afterwards will go right back to sleep. This should slow down as I get older. <br/> <br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON LEASH?<br/>I have been practicing my leash manners, and am doing great now! Originally, I was a bit wary of walking outside when we walk in downtown Sacramento, as there is a lot going on, but I am really starting to relax now, and can’t wait to show you how well I do!<br/> <br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?<br/>For a Husky, I am not too vocal. I bark when a new person comes into the house, because that’s what my canine foster brother does. I may take about 20 seconds to warm up to someone new, but after that I just want to play with you!<br/> <br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)<br/>Yes, we go outside every few hours, and I am really quick at going potty outside!<br/> <br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER?<br/>Not sure yet – it’s winter so we haven’t gone to the beach or river yet. <br/> <br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE US TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?<br/>I am a really good girl, super sweet and loving. My foster family found me under a car in downtown Sacramento. I was confused and scared. I was just spayed and am chipped, but the owner on file never responded. My foster family is teaching me so much about being a good dog! If my canine foster brother is in the room, I need to stay leashed as I just want to wrestle and play, so I am working on having better manners in the house. Other than this excitability, I would say I am pretty much perfect! I’m so excited to find my forever family. Maybe that is you? I’d love to meet you! <br/> <br/>HOW DO PEOPLE GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>Please reach out to lisacor03@gmail.com with any questions and put BIRDIE in the subject line. There is a nominal adoption fee. Thank you for considering Birdie.

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.)
