Rocco's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? <br/>Hi there! My name is Rocco!<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? <br/>I am a very handsome boy.<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU? <br/>Although we don't have an exact birthdate, the best estimate is that I was born sometime in late 2025.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU? <br/>Cane Corso<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? <br/>56 pounds<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? <br/>I am such a good looking dude, if I do say so myself! I have a brindle coat, cute little ears, and a short tail that I love to wag. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>I love my kibble! Small pieces of watermelon are delicious too. <br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? <br/>I am the sweetest pup. I love to play and nap and get lots of attention. <br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: <br/>Play. Eat. Nap. Repeat. <br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? <br/>I like toys that are easy to carry around in my mouth. <br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? <br/>I know what the word No means. <br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU? <br/>Sudden loud noises sometimes scare me. <br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? <br/>Yes, they love me and I love them. I have played with kids who range in age from three years to 16 years. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS? <br/>What is a cat? My foster family has a chicken that I like to chase around a little bit, but I am such a good boy and have never laid a paw on her. <br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? <br/>I love them so much!<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? <br/>Hanging out with my family or napping in my crate. <br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? <br/>I am overall very healthy. I have a neurological disorder called Canine Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CCH.) It makes my back end wobbly, and I sometimes have small seizures. Although I can get around fairly well on hard floors, I am more stable and comfortable on carpet or grass. My depth perception isn't great, so I bump into things sometimes and walking down steps is a challenge. But I don't let it stop me from having fun and running around. When I fall down, I get right back up again! Life is an adventure!<br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? <br/>I live with my foster mom, dad, brother (16), sister (13) and their Frenchie. I love them all, but my foster dad is probably my favorite. He is so fun to play with in the mornings!<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? <br/>I love hanging out in my cozy crate!<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? <br/>I sleep in my crate. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? <br/>No, but I like to be pushed in a doggie stroller. It is so fun to see all the goings-on out in the neighborhood!<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY NOT SO GREAT HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? <br/>My foster mom says I am a naughty boy when I bite at her plants, especially when I pull them out of the pot. And, when I get really excited during playtime, I can mistake an ankle for a toy. All it takes is someone giving me a toy to correct my mistake. I am still pretty young and getting used to all the new things I am encountering from day to day. <br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? <br/>Im still working on it. My CCH makes this harder for me. I usually wear a belly band (pee-pee diaper) in the house. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER? <br/>I do! I think the hose and sprinklers are fun, and I can swim. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? <br/>My foster family has spent a lot of time figuring out what accommodations I need. They have been really patient and loving. I know I am safe with people who care about my well-being.<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>I am really excited to find my forever family! I know the right person or people will come for me, and we will have the BEST time together forever and ever! I am looking forward to meeting you!<br/><br/>** ADOPTION FEE IS $ 300**<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Rocco, 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.)
