Teddy's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? <br/>Hi there! I am Teddy.<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? <br/>I am a darling boy.<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU? <br/>We estimate I was born in mid-2024. <br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU? <br/>I am a French Bulldog. <br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? <br/>24 pounds<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? <br/>I am the cutest one-eyed fawn-colored Frenchie you will ever see. I am a stocky little dude with big ears and a personality to match!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? <br/>I love my salmon food! My favorite treat is frozen pumpkin puree with blueberries. Strawberries and any dog treats are good too. Okay, So if I am being honest, I will eat whatever you offer!<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? <br/>I am very sweet and happy, with a bit of anxiousness at times. I follow foster mom around everywhere and get a little stressed when she leaves me in a different room. But I am very playful with my canine foster siblings, and I get so wiggly and excited when my humans come home! <br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: <br/>Lots of food and treats, some obedience training (I like to show off what I know and get treats), some wrestling with my foster siblings, followed by napping next to my foster parents.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? <br/>Oh that is an easy one... my favorite toy is the one someone else is playing with!<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? <br/>I can sit, and I am working on “stay” and my recall. I am good at “leave it” and “let’s go” to redirect my attention as needed. I also know “in” when it is time to go in my crate. I am a smart (and food-motivated) boy!<br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU? <br/>I have been scared to be left alone, so I cry sometimes when my foster parents leave the room. As I have become more comfortable at my foster home, I have gotten braver about being in my crate, but I will probably be a bit nervous again in a new home. With your patience, time, and consistency (and treats!), I will become more confident.<br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? <br/>No, I have not. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS? <br/>No, thank you! There are some cats in my foster home, and I bark at them and will chase them if they come close enough. <br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? <br/>I am a bit particular about my dog friends... I love my bossy foster sisters, but it took a long time for me to be okay with my submissive foster brothers. After a lot of very slow introductions, I can now play with all my foster siblings, but I still prefer dogs with a stronger personality. Please set me up for success with patience and slow, structured dog introductions. <br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? <br/>Wherever my humans are.<br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? <br/>I had a bad eye injury, so it was removed, and now I feel so much better! I am generally pretty healthy, though. <br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? <br/>My foster parents, several foster dog siblings, and cats. My foster mom and dog sisters are my favorites, probably because my mom is home with me more and has spent lots of time trying to help me feel comfortable and safe. My foster sisters play with me for hours every day and I just love it!! I get so excited when my foster dad comes and I jump all over him.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? <br/>In my crate.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? <br/>I sleep in my crate.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? <br/>Yes, but I get super excited if I see other dogs. I am working on socializing and going out to more places.<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? <br/>I am doing a lot better now, but I used to get very anxious about being closed inside my crate. So that is something that you and I can work on together when I come to your house, okay? I also need some space when it comes to my food and my stuff. Please keep other dogs away from my toys, my food, and my crate until I am comfortable enough that I can be sure my stuff will not get taken away from me. <br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? <br/>Yes! I learned how to use the dog door almost immediately.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER? <br/>I love my doggy pool and go in it every day! I definitely do not love baths, though.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? <br/>I love how much my foster siblings play with me and how patient my foster parents have been. They really showed me what it feels like to be safe and loved, even when I was scared and required extra work.<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>I am really excited to meet you! I think we will have a lot of fun together, with playtime and cuddles and some other adventures. I hope you feel the same way! Will you take me home with you? <br/><br/>** The adoption fee for Teddy is $1,000 (for: eye removal and neuter surgery, current vaccines, microchip, monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention)<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Teddy, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org<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 (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.)
