Lance's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>Hiya! My name is Lance!<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?<br/>I am a boy!<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?<br/>Best estimate is that I was born sometime in 2021.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU?<br/>French Bulldog + American Staffordshire Terrier mix.<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?<br/>Around 40 pounds.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?<br/>If I do say so myself, I'm pretty handsome. I'm about 20 inches tall and 32 inches long with beautiful brindle coloring, soulful brown eyes, and an adorable white patch on my chest. Oh, and do not get me started on my adorable smile! The best!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>Pretty much everything! My foster mom feeds me Blue Buffalo kibble with pumpkin, rice, or sweet potato to help keep my tummy happy and healthy.<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?<br/>I am a giant cuddle bug trapped inside a sturdy little bully body. My favorite thing in the world is being close to my people. I love laying next to you, staring into your eyes, getting belly rubs, and falling asleep while being petted. I get very excited when it's time for a walk and may do a few happy circles before sitting patiently for my leash. I enjoy naps on my dog bed, in my crate, or stretched out in a sunny spot. <br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:<br/>My perfect day starts with breakfast and a nice long walk. Then it's time for a nap, some belly rubs, and hanging out with my humans. After lunch, I'd love another walk, some time outside soaking up the sun, and maybe a chew bone. I'd finish the day with dinner, an evening stroll, and lots of cuddles before bed.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?<br/>My bone!<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?<br/>I know sit, stay, and leave it. I'm currently learning how to lay down.<br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>I'm still learning about the world, but I can be a little unsure in new situations. Having my people nearby helps me feel safe and confident.<br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?<br/>Yes! I love children and enjoy being around people of all ages.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS?<br/>I'm not sure yet. I haven't had the opportunity to meet any cats.<br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?<br/>I get very excited when I meet other dogs and usually want to play right away. Sometimes I bark when they don't want to play with me, but I'm learning better manners and how to stay calm when meeting new friends. Please set me up for success with slow introductions to other dogs. <br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br/>Wherever my people are. Whether we're on a walk, watching TV, or just hanging out at home, being with my family is my favorite place to be.<br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?<br/>My health is great! I do have allergies and receive a monthly allergy shot to help keep me comfortable and itch-free. Other than that, I'm a happy, healthy guy.<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 foster auntie. My foster mom is definitely my favorite person, but I love my foster auntie too.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?<br/>I relax either in my crate or on my dog bed, depending on how long I'll be alone. Since I spend most of my day snoozing, I'm perfectly happy as long as I have a comfy place to nap.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?<br/>I sleep in my crate at night. I'd love to sleep in bed with my humans, but I'm happy as long as I'm in the same room as my people.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?<br/>Absolutely! Walks are one of my favorite activities. I can be a strong puller, so I'm continuing to work on my leash manners.<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>I'm still learning a few things. I can get excited on walks and pull on the leash. I also get very excited around other dogs and sometimes bark when they don't want to play. And if you leave the couch or bed unattended, I may be tempted to see if there's room for me too. Luckily, I'm smart and eager to learn.<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?<br/>Yes! I am fully house trained and do a great job going potty outside.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER?<br/>Baths are not my favorite thing. My foster mom has to keep a close eye on me because I'd rather make a quick escape. I haven't had the chance to try swimming in a pool or lake yet, so I'm not sure how I feel about those.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>I love that my foster family works from home and spends lots of time with me. We go on several walks every day, they play with me, cuddle me, and make me feel loved. I just want to be wherever they are.<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>Since NorCal Bully Breed Rescue pulled me out of the shelter, I have learned what it feels like to be loved, cared for, and part of a family. Now I'm ready to find my forever home and spend the rest of my life loving my people as much as they'll love me. Are you ready to do this?<br/><br/>**LANCES ADOPTION FEE IS $300**<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Lance, 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.)
