Sierra's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>My name is Sierra! <br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?<br/>I am a girl... the cutest girl ever! <br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?<br/>I was born in early 2026.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU?<br/>I am a staffy mix—the most adorable of all the breeds, in my opinion!<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?<br/>I am about 40 pounds of puppy love, and I still have a little growing to do!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?<br/>I have a beautiful black-and-white coat with unique tan stripes down my back legs. I like to think they make me extra special!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! <br/>If it is food, I am interested. I am definitely not a picky girl! <br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?<br/>I am a silly, sweet girl with long puppy legs that have not quite figured out how to work together yet! I can be a little clumsy, but that is just part of my charm. I love snuggling with my foster parents just as much as I love playing and being goofy.<br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:<br/>Wake up, eat breakfast (the most important part, obviously!), go for a nice walk, play for a while, take a puppy nap, play some more, enjoy dinner, and finish the day with cozy evening snuggles on the couch. Honestly, that sounds pretty perfect to me! <br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?<br/>I LOVE my Dogwood stick! I am a super chewer, so I need tough toys that can keep up with me.<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?<br/>I know how to sit, lay down, and look ridiculously cute. I am pretty sure that last one is my best trick! <br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>I am a pretty brave girl, and loud noises do not bother me. Baths and nail trims, on the other hand? Hard pass! I am still working on those.<br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?<br/>I live with a 13-year-old foster brother, and I like him! Since I am still learning to keep all four paws on the ground when I get excited, older kids who understand puppy energy would probably be the best fit for me.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS?<br/>I have not met a cat up close yet, but I sure am curious when I spot one on our walks! My feelings about living with a cat are still a mystery, so I would need a proper introduction.<br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?<br/>I get SUPER excited when I see other dogs on our walks! I love playing with my foster sister, too. She has been helping me learn how to be a good girl, and we have so much fun together. I am still learning my doggy manners, so I will need some guidance as I grow.<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br/>Right beside my favorite people, wherever that may be. I am happiest when I can be with my humans!<br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?<br/>I am a healthy, happy puppy and ready to find my forever family!<br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME, AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?<br/>I live with my foster mom, foster dad, and my canine foster sister. I spend a lot of time with my foster mom, and between you and me, she is pretty much my favorite person. My canine foster sister is also one of my best buddies. We love chasing each other around and playing together!<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?<br/>I have my very own crate where I relax while the humans are at work. I am comfortable in my little space and am happy to hang out there while they are away.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?<br/>Sometimes foster mom lets me snuggle in her bed for a little while at night, but I mostly sleep in my crate. I am a good girl and sleep through the night!<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?<br/>I LOVE going for walks! There is so much to see, smell, and explore. I am still learning how to walk nicely on a leash, though. The world is exciting, and sometimes it is hard to contain myself! With patience, practice, and a little guidance, I know I will keep getting better.<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>Well, I am still a puppy! When I get excited, I sometimes jump up on my foster mom to say hello. I am working on keeping all four paws on the ground, but I will need my forever family to help me practice. We can bond through our training!<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE-TRAINED?<br/>Yes! I am house-trained, I know the word “potty,” and I have become an expert at using the doggy door. Look at me being all grown-up!<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER?<br/>I think it is safe to say I am more of a land-loving girl! Foster mom took me to the lake with my foster sister, and all I was interested in was dipping my paws in the water. That was enough lake adventure for me. I will happily leave the swimming to someone else!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>I love chasing my foster sister around the yard, playing until I am ready for a break, and settling down on the floor with a good chew toy. Most of all, I love being around my people and feeling safe and loved.<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?<br/>I love riding in the car because it usually means I am going somewhere new. I am an active, curious girl who dreams of growing up alongside my very own person. <br/><br/>I am still young, so I will need a family who can be patient with me, help me learn my manners, and give me plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and grow into the amazing dog I am meant to be.<br/><br/>**The adoption fee for Sierra is $300. **<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Sierra, 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 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.)
