Tippy's Story

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>Hiya! I am Tippy!<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
<br/>I am a lovely lady.<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?
<br/>I was born in 2018.<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
<br/>I am a pit bull mix. <br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
<br/>I weigh 51 pounds.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
<br/>I have a beautiful black coat with reddish brown hues in the sun, a white patch on the chest, stunning amber eyes, ears for days, and a larger than life smile. I am on the smaller, leaner side for a pit bull. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>
In addition to my kibble, I love savory treats like chicken and fish, or maybe a quesadilla. (Haha!)<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?<br/>I have the personality and energy of a much younger dog. You would never guess I am eight years old based on how active and fit I am. I am always in a good mood, ready to play or cuddle, sweet and gentle with the humans around me. <br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
<br/>My perfect day includes walks to smell all the roses, playing fetch with myself and my favorite ball, napping next to my humans while getting belly rubs.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? <br/>I LOVE BALLS! My favorite one is just the right amount of squeaky and bouncy so that I can play a game I call "smack it, flip it, catch it, repeat.”<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? <br/>I am great at sit, wait, fetch, and taking treats very gently. <br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>
Losing my ball. <br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?<br/>
Yes! I have been around some family friends that are eight to 11 years old, and I meet other children on my daily walks that love to say hi and give me pets. I love humans! <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS?
<br/>When I see them on my walks, I generally leave them alone, but I will take a pass on having cats for roommates, thanks. <br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?<br/>
Well, I am selective about other dogs. There are other dogs in the house with me, but we do not hang out together. I leave them alone when I pass their crates, or when they pass mine. When I am on walks and see dogs, I get a bit anxious if they are too close to me. I would prefer to be the only pet in the home, please. <br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
<br/>Going on walks or sniff spots, and getting cuddles from my very own humans. <br/><br/>HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?<br/>
I am fit as a fiddle! Nobody believes I am already eight years old! <br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
<br/>I live with three adults, and there are other young adults that come and go often. I love my foster mom because she feeds me and takes me for walks, but I will toss her aside like yesterday's kibble when her son comes home. He is my favorite human and gives me belly rubs. What can I say, I love men. <br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
<br/>I hang out in the primary bedroom. I have a crate in there that is open for me to come and go out of<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
<br/>I am happy sleeping in my crate or in a bed with one of the humans. <br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?<br/>
I love walks and love to sniff allll the things when I we go out. I am very good at sitting and waiting at corners when cars need to go by, or when humans need to pass by. <br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>
My foster mom says I am perfection. I do not chew things I shouldn't. I am not destructive at all, so she trusts me to hang out in her room during the day while she is working downstairs. <br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED?
<br/>Yes! I am fully house trained and crate trained.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER? <br/>I do just fine with baths! I enjoy being pampered and getting a little extra love. But what I really love is SWIMMING!! OMG the pool is my most favorite thing ever! I am very good about wearing a life jacket of course. <br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>I love that they love me, take me for walks and let me sniff all the things, provide me with an endless supply of balls, and they keep me safe. I just love being with humans. <br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER? <br/>I may need to be an only dog, but I promise I'm worth it. We will have a super fun life together! Will you please take me home with you?<br/><br/>**The adoption fee for Tippy is $100.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Tippy, 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

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.)
