Eleanor's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>Hi, I’m Eleanor!<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?<br/>I’m a darling little girl. <br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?<br/>Great question! The best estimate I’ve been given is that I am between one and two years old as of the end of 2025. <br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU? <br/>I'm a French Bulldog.<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? <br/>I'm a petite, perfectly-proportioned, 14 pounds. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? <br/>I am a stocky little tri-colored potato with huge ears, an adorable underbite, and a darling tongue that is sticking out of my mouth a teensy bit most of the time. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? <br/>I love my kibble and have just discovered the most AMAZING delicacy… mini marshmallows! Yummy!<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? <br/>I am the sweetest little nugget. My preferred position is snuggled up with a human, seconded by playing with a doggy friend. I want to please and am enjoying learning new things. <br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: <br/>I wake up and do a biiiiiig stretch before I head outside for potty time. I spend a good portion of the day napping with a human while they work from home or playing with my dog friends. After dinner, I love to play ball or just run around with the other dogs in the yard. Then it’s sleepy time after a very fun day! <br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? <br/>I’m just getting used to playing with toys. My favorites so far are chew toys, like Benebones. <br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? <br/>I am a work in progress now that I’m safe in my foster home. No one in my past spent the time to teach me anything, but, hey, if you’re willing to hand over a few of those tasty marshmallows, I’d be up for some training time! Let’s have some fun!<br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU? <br/>I’m a pretty brave little girl. I haven’t found anything scary since I’ve been safe in foster care. <br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?<br/>I should be in a home with older kids because I really am so teeny tiny that little kids may not understand how to keep me safe. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS? <br/>I do! I think they see me as one of their own because I’m just their size. <br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? <br/>Yes! I get along great with the resident dogs at my foster home. <br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? <br/>Snuggled up with a human, snoring! Either in the sun or under a blanket, dealer’s choice there.<br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? <br/>Now that NorCal Bully Breed Rescue has taken such great care of me, I am in perfect health. <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 her two sons, age 10 and 15. There are also two resident dogs, two cats, a tortoise and six chickens. I spend the most time with my foster mom since she works from home, but I really love to play with everyone else outside in the yard. <br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? <br/>I hang out in my crate. It’s a safe place and the resident dogs have crates right next to mine so I am not alone. <br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? <br/>At bedtime I sleep in my crate. During the day, I sleep on the couch, on the chair, in the sun, on the other dogs… I really excel at naps. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?<br/>It is still new to me, but I love to smell all the smells, hear all the sounds, and see all the things, so let’s go!!<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>Not really. I do take a little time to warm up to new dogs and am not shy about telling them to give me space. That’s not really a bad habit, though, it’s just me setting healthy boundaries.<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? <br/>Yes! I have been a very good girl, and I even potty outside when it is RAINING! Foster mom was proud of me for being so brave. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER? <br/>I don’t hate the rain, don’t love the bath (who does, right?), and am a Frenchie who should not be partaking in water sports to keep me safe. Hmm…that’s about all I’ve got on the topic of water. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? <br/>I love that I am safe and have friends and toys! I love that I get so much attention. Feeling like part of the family has been wonderful. <br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>I’m SO ready to start the next phase of my life with my forever family! Let’s do this! <br/><br/>If you are interested in Eleanor, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - https://www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org/adoptables/eleanor<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.<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 for understanding!

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.)
