Chonk's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? <br/>Howdy! My name is Chonk!<br/> <br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? <br/>I am a handsome gentleman!<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU? <br/>I was born on May 4, 2026.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU? <br/>I am the MOST handsome pit bull mix.<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? <br/>I am a strapping young man weighing 50 pounds. We do not know how much my dad weighed, so your guess is as good as mine regarding how big I will get.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? <br/>Oh so stunning! I have an amazing marbled coat that makes me a real head-turner! My eyes are soulful, and my ears are floppy and fabulous. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? <br/>I gobble up my puppy kibble that has all the nutrition I need to grow up strong and healthy!<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? <br/>If there is fun happening, I am right in the middle of it! I am so playful, from wrestling with another dog, chasing a ball, or chewing on a toy, to having all kinds of fun with water. <br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY <br/>My perfect day involves food, toys, water-related shenanigans, and playing with a dog friend. Oh, and naps, too! Gotta make sure I get lots of puppy naps!<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? <br/>I love chew toys and toys that have treats inside! It is so fun to figure out how to get the treats out!<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? <br/>I am a puppy, so I am always in the process of learning. I am working on “sit” and am proud to report that the command “go potty” sends me right outside!<br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU? <br/>I am a pretty brave boy! <br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? <br/>I like kids but, since I am a big boy, it would be best if I hang with older children so my puppy excitement does not bowl them over!<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS? <br/>I have not been around a cat yet.<br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? <br/>I love dogs! I have only been around my mama and littermates so far, but with safe introductions, I would enjoy having a playmate!<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? <br/>For a start, I want to be anywhere that my humans are. And then, to make it more perfect, I would love to have some water to play in, and a big fun stick to carry around and chew on!<br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? <br/>My health is great! No issues here!<br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? <br/>I live with my foster parents and my mama. My littermates were here too but they have either found forever homes or gone to different foster homes. Mama is my closest companion now. We have lots of fun playing. <br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? <br/>If the humans are away from home, I chill in my pen.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? <br/> I am cozy and safe in my pen.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? <br/>I am a work in progress. Foster mom kept me safe before I was fully vaccinated, so I am just getting started on the “exploring the outside world” phase of puppyhood. <br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? <br/>I have a curious streak that leads me to jump up to check out what kind of fun stuff is on the counters or kitchen table. I am also very excited to greet people and I jump up to say, “Hi!”<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? <br/>I am doing so well! I will need to learn a new routine of where and when to go when I come to your house, so please be patient!<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER? <br/>Love love love it!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? <br/>I love that they helped me, my mama, and my siblings get out of the shelter when we were little babies, and they made sure we were all safe and healthy and happy. Their love and nurturing helped us all grow into beautiful puppies with wonderful futures to look forward to!<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>I give my full heart into all I do. I am adventurous and the life of the party. I am a big goofball who just wants to play and be loved on. I hope you will bring me home with you so we can have lots of fun and cuddles!<br/><br/>**The adoption fee for Chonk is $500.**<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Chonk, 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.)
