Description:

⭐️⭐️⭐️DOG AND CAT FRIENDLY!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️ What is your name? Lincoln How old are you? About a year old. Are you male or female? Male How much do you weigh? I’m a tall, slim 75-pound pup. What do you look like? I am a very handsome boy, if I do say so myself – my foster mom tells me that all the time too! My coat is grey with a white chest and my ears are floppy but bounce rather nicely when I run. I am strong and tall and slender, and always have a big happy grin on my cute face. What do you like to eat? I am a good eater and usually clean my bowl quickly of dry kibble (usually Purina meat variety mixed with IAMS chicken kibble and a spoonful of Rachel Ray or other yummy wet food mixed in). My foster mom spoils me. What kind of personality do you have? I’m a big, goofy love bug who hasn’t met a person or dog I don’t like. I would adopt everyone as my family if I could and play all day long. Describe your perfect day: A trip to the dog park with my family and playing in the creek. What is your favorite toy? A big juicy bone, though I do love the big, knotted rope with which I play tug of war with my little foster brother dog pal. Do you know any tricks? I know how to “sit” and am working on learning other lessons my family is teaching. I’m a quick study but a little patience is needed as I’ve still got puppy brain at times. What scares you? Gunshots, firecrackers/fireworks, loud lawn equipment such as weed whackers. I think I can get used to the lawn equipment but will take some patience with the bangs from gunshots and fireworks. Have you been around children? Do you like them? I love everyone, including children. But I’m a very exuberant big boy, so best around older children and adults. Do you like cats? I do. I wish they liked me as I’m super fun and I’d like to play, but I’m very big and exuberant and the few cats I’ve been around just ignore me or find somewhere else to be. Slow introductions and acclimation for both of us would be best. How do you feel about other dogs? I LOVE other dogs – I could play and play and play until bedtime! I make all kinds of friends at the dog park. If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be? At the dog park with my family and dog buddies. How is your health? Really good. I’m still very young so am in great shape. I sometimes have a little trouble with my ears but ear ointment from the vet easily takes care of that. Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion? My foster mom and a chihuahua who is a youngster like me but a few months older. We grew up together. Where do you hang out when you are home alone? In the backyard with my toys and my foster brother dog pal or in my crate if I’m sleepy. Where do you sleep? In my own crate which I love. Do you like walking on a leash? Yes, I’m a good boy on a leash though I’m very strong, so need to be sure whoever walks me can handle my muscles. Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard? I sometimes dig a small hole for a special bone and if left on my own too long, may find something to chew that’s not my toy. But I’m overall a pretty quiet dog, even when seeing cows in the field in back of my house for the first time. They were interesting to watch, but I didn’t want to bark at them or chase them. Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside). I usually spend most of my time outside and am semi-potty trained, though need a bit more time with training. Though I sleep through the night in my crate with generally no accidents. Do you like playing in water? I LOVE a good creek to wade around in or a small kiddie pool to walk in. What do you love about your foster family? How much they love me and are teaching me good manners and other fun things. And that they always want the best for me! If you are interested in please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org At this time we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas. For more information on what that means and why that is, please click on the following link:https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=n Thank you so much in advance for understanding!!Adoption process*** 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.)Shelter locationOur adoptable dogs live in foster homes and meet and greets are done by appointment. Monthly adoption events are held at the Roseville Pet Food Express store at 1009 Galleria Blvd in The Fountains Shopping Ctr. These events take place on the first Friday of each month from 6-7:30pm.
