    I had a great experience with Lucky Farms. They spend a great deal of time making sure the fit is right for both the family and the dog, and making sure the family understands the commitment a giant breed dog requires. You just know their top priority is the health and safety of their dogs. I couldn’t be happier with my rescue pup from them!

    Sacramento

    NorCal Bully Breed Rescue is a foster-based rescue located in the Sacramento, California area. We do not have a facility that we operate out of, meaning our dogs are not kept in a shelter-type environment. Rather, our dogs reside in loving foster homes which provide them with the love, patience, and understanding required to allow them to become the very best that they can be. We specialize in pulling dogs from local shelters who would otherwise be considered “unadoptable”, for any variety of reasons: • They may have sustained a major medical injury that needs immediate medical attention that the shelter is unable to provide. • They may be a pregnant mama dog that can’t be adopted out and just needs a safe place to have her pups. • Or they may just be fearful and not showing well in a shelter environment. • These dogs just need a loving foster home to allow them to shine and show their true potential! Our ability to save these dogs is based entirely on donations from our amazing supporters, and on volunteer foster parents who open their hearts and homes to these dogs during their most desperate times. We allow them to show their true personality at whatever speed is needed for that particular dog. We don’t rush them. And we don’t force them to interact with other animals until they are ready. This allows us to get a true read on each of our dogs. To discover their likes and dislikes. To find out who and what they are compatible with. And to find them the best forever home for their specific personality.

Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't. For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”
