Norcal Bully Breed Rescue is a foster based 501(c)(3) rescue dedicated to helping bully breeds that are in need of assistance, whether they be shelter dogs, strays, or owner surrenders. We do not operate out of a facility, rather rely on foster homes to care for the dogs that we take in. We are only able to take in dogs if we have a foster home available.
The first step in our adoption process is completing an adoption application. After we received a completed adoption application we review the answers and may reach out to you to clarify responses or ask additional questions. The next step in the adoption process is a home visit where we visit your yard and make sure there aren't any areas that could cause your new dog to get loose. Once the home check is complete we set up a meet and greet with the potential adoptive dog; we require that you bring any dog you already have in residence to meet the potential adoptive dog so we can ensure it's a good match. We assess each individual application and need to assess the specific situations of renters or anyone living out of the area so please understand our need for correct and up front information. Our adoption fees are set based on the dog. Adult Adoption Fee: $200, Puppy (Up to 1 yr old) Adoption Fee: $350. Our adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vaccines (age appropriate and up to date at the time of adoption), microchip, and deworming (if necessary). Once an application is emailed please allow at least 24 to 48 hours for a reply. Thanks in advance.
I was a volunteer, and they basically give you a dog with no help. Your kind of left to do your own thing. I ended up no longer fostering for this rescue.
As this was my first time using a animal rescue I sadly found probably the worst place to go. I did find the dog I wanted but the people there couldn't of done a worst job throughout the whole process.. I'll explain one pet and know it got nothing but worse after. We did find the dog we wanted on Tuesday and contacted them and let them know we are out of town and wanted to pick up the pet on Sunday. They said no problem so we made car and hotel reservations and took off work for the weekend. So the night before we were leaving they called us and let us know that she wasn't spayed yet and we wouldn't be able to get her til next weekend. Why this dog was advertised as ready to go on their website and no one told us til the night before blows my mind due to the amount of time, money along w days off we were taking to save this dog. Of course we were very pissed at them and disappointed that we were unable to get this dog since she is 9 hours away from us and I can't set my schedule up to take 2 days off to make this trip again for a while. I do believe I would be saving this dog from THEM!! Everything from then on was a nightmare. So trust me and save yourself a terrible experience and go with another animal rescue. I got another dog we fell in love with and paid 175 instead of 350 which also was super expensive for a non profit.
