Charlie's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi there, friend! I’m Charlie! ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I’m a boy! HOW OLD ARE YOU? I am around two years old as of September 2025. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I’m a bully mix. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am the most darling 40-pound house hippo! WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I’m one handsome little devil, if I do say so myself. I’m a lowrider with a beautiful grey coat. My best features are my big smile and fabulous blocky head! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I'm not too picky, I love kibble and mini marshmallows the most, though. Yum! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am a sweetheart. I love everyone I meet, dogs or humans! I just want to be invited to the party. I love cuddles and belly rubs, and playing with other dogs is the MOST fun thing ever! DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: That’s an easy question, because I am easy to please! Human and dog companionship makes any day perfect. Let’s definitely include some naps in the sun and playtime with my toys! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love chewing on my Bene Bone. DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know how to hop like a bunny when I am excited and how to use the furniture as my own personal obstacle course! Those count as tricks, right? WHAT SCARES YOU? I’m a pretty brave boy! HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I am a sweet guy, but maybe I’d be best with older children to make sure I don’t get overexcited and bowl over the littles! DO YOU LIKE CATS? They’re not as cool as dogs, but I’m fine sharing my space with them. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I love dogs! We have so much fun playing together. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Next to my human. I’m happy anywhere you want to go. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? Now that NorCal Bully Breed Rescue got me surgery to open my airway to help me breathe, I am feeling GREAT! WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and grandma, and an unspecified number of dogs (several fosters that come and go, I can’t keep track!) WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I am the best boy in my crate. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I am sleep very well in my crate. It’s my safe space. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? Can’t say I’m a huge fan of leash walking, actually. It’s still pretty new to me, so I might learn to enjoy it eventually. But early in my stay at my foster home, I’m not thrilled with the walks right now. DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? Not really. I don't even bark or cry! ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? Yup! I’ve been such a good boy, working hard to go outside when it is time to potty. I will need you to show me where you want me to go at your house, and I will figure it out with consistency, time, and patience. DO YOU LIKE WATER? I’m pretty thick and not really built for water sports. But maybe if you get me a life vest to keep me safe, we could explore the idea of a swim? WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that I am safe and have friends and toys! IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? I’m SO ready to start the next phase of my life with my forever family! Let’s do this! **CHARLIE’S ADOPTION FEE IS $500** If you are interested in adopting Charlie, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org 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).

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.)
