WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi there! I’m your new best friend, Queenie!
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a girl.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I was born in early May of 2023.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a Pit Bull mix! In fact, I’ve got DNA results that show my specifics—I am 71 percent American Pit Bull, with another seven percent German Shepherd, seven percent French Bulldog (?!), and the remaining 15 percent is the most perfect mix of “your guess is as good as mine!”
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am 60 pounds of muscular fabulousness!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I have the most beautiful coat of caramel and white, with a smattering of black. My markings are beautiful (if I do say so myself), with a half white/half caramel muzzle and chunky black eyeliner. GORGEOUS!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Oh I am not picky at all. If you want to share, I will gladly partake. That food motivation makes me very trainable, by the way! Let’s do it!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I love zooming around the yard playing with my foster brother, chasing squirrels, and exploring the outdoor smells! I am cautious about new people, but if you help me understand that I am safe through slow introductions, I will warm up and be such a loyal, loving companion.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
After I wake up and take care of business in the yard, we go out for my morning walk so I can sniff and check out the neighborhood. The rest of the day is lots of playtime in the yard or the house with my toys. I love to go on car trips because we go to fun places where I can accompany foster mom inside the store or event. I love being included! At night I am super cuddly with the humans, or I am such a good girl hanging out in my bed with a chew toy.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love chew toys. Foster mom makes sure I have safe and healthy chew toys and they keep me occupied for hours! Can’t beat that, right? Fun times!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I am very smart! I am currently in an obedience class so I can learn the best behaviors like being calm around other dogs and people. I have also learned sit, stay, and lay down! So smart, right?? And, as I mentioned before, I am treat motivated, so if you bring the rewards, I am happy to learn the things you want me to do so I can earn the rewards!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I am uncomfortable with people trying to pet me if I do not know them. I am learning my good manners and I need you to help ensure that people have good manners around me too, please!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
I should be in an adults-only home, please.
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
I would prefer that my four-legged friends be of the canine persuasion, please. No cats, thanks.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I am particular about which dogs I want to be friends with. My foster sister is a labrador retriever and we get along great. But I am not a fan of the little dogs in my foster home. With any size dog, I need to have slow introductions to make sure I am set up for success!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
I am happiest anywhere that my humans are. Whether it is out on a walk, on a car ride for adventures, or just cuddling on the couch… with a human that loves me, everywhere is my paradise.
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I am in excellent health!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and dad, and there are three dogs here too. I love my foster mom the most because she has the food, but also because she is my hero for rescuing me. Of the dogs in the house, I am closest with my foster sister the labrador retriever because she and I are the same size and we have lots of fun running around and exploring the yard.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
If the humans leave for more than a couple hours, I am typically hanging out in my kennel. Shorter periods of time, I can stay in the living room like a very good girl.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I usually sleep in my kennel, but sometimes I hang out on my bed in the living room all night. Either way, I’m a good girl at night!
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Oh yes! I LOVE going for walks and I am a really good girl on leash! Foster mom is very impressed at how well I “heel” when we are on our daily walks. Yay me!
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Well, it’s not really a “habit,” but you need to know that I am dog selective and need slow introductions when it comes to meeting new humans. If you pay attention to my cues and don’t put me in uncomfortable situations, we will do great together!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yes, potty training was a breeze. I just need to know where you want me to go and I’m on it!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I have not been around water yet.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that they love me, of course! They saved me and brought me into their home to help me find a forever home. I am so grateful for a safe, warm, comfortable bed with food, toys, and a good friend to play with.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
My previous life was not ideal, as I was living with an unhoused person and then I ended up in a shelter, which was not fun at all. But now that my foster family is taking care of me and teaching me what it is like to be safe and loved, I am ready to move on from my past. I would love a family of my own who will love me forever. Will you give me a chance to be your best friend?

Additional adoption info
*** You MUST live within the immediate Sacramento area which includes Sacramento County, parts of Placer and parts of ElDorado County.
ADOPTION PROCESS:
The first step in the adoption process is the completion of our online adoption application. You will be able to fill it out online and email it back to us. If you have any questions regarding your application, we are here to answer them. If you do not live within our specified area, your application will not be reviewed.
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 a 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 go 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 on 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 dogs aged 1 year or older.
(French/English Bulldogs fees are significantly higher and are explained on our website.)

More about this rescue
NorCal Bully Breed Rescue (NBBR) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to helping needy animals in our community. While our focus is on "bully breeds," we don't discriminate and will very often help dogs of any breed, provided we have a foster home available. We take in dogs from local shelters with a focus on those with medical challenges and those whose behavior is declining due to the stress of the shelter environment. These are the dogs most often overlooked and in need of the most help.
NBBR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, our tax ID # is 46-3665141. Your donations are fully tax deductible and fund our operations and help pay our vet expenses.
NBBR is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless pets through the spaying/neutering of all of our rescued dogs and through education on the importance of spaying/neutering all animals. We provide information on low cost or no cost spay/neuter clinics in our surrounding areas.
Each dog that comes to us has been temperament tested, updated on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Many of our dogs have also been treated for various medical conditions including mange, heartworms, broken bones, neurological issues, and many others. One of our dogs can take anywhere from one month to one year to get ready for adoption and the cost for the dogs we take on can range from $100 to several thousand dollars. We take on dogs from shelters that are set to be euthanized for various reasons, including simply that they've been there too long, or they have a medical condition that precludes them from adoption to the public, making them "rescue only." This means only a rescue can pull them from the shelter, but also leaves us to be responsible for any costs to be incurred by said rescue dog.
We also take on strays and incur the cost of having them vaccinated, spayed, neutered and microchipped. We will help dogs who owners can no longer provide care by networking their dog, provided the owner can continue to house the dog. We insure a safe house for all of the dogs that we take on and provide all needed supplies for the foster homes that care for them until they are to be adopted. We also insure that they never end up in a shelter, running the risk of being euthanized due to lack of space or due to becoming "aggressive" caused by the stress of being in a shelter environment.
