Cobalt is another one of our long-term adoptables. He was adopted several years ago and then returned due his human’s health issue. Cobalt is super social, and loves to shove his giant head into new people to be pet. He is extremely playful - loves chew toys and chasing balls in the yard - and also going for walks. Cobalt is seven years old and well-trained, but he is a lot of dog. Not only is he big (75lbs), but also stubborn and dramatic, so he needs an owner who can give him confident direction. Cobalt is a great walking partner, and needs daily exercise. He gets along well with other dogs, but sometimes his size and playfulness is too much for some. He cannot live with cats.

One of hour renewed goals these days is to focus on our long-term adoptable dogs. Petey is a super-friendly English Bulldog, who has a goofy and playful demeanor. He makes people so happy as he wiggles to greet them, and is very enthusiastic about training exercises and going new places. Sadly, he is growing up in foster care, and has been waiting for his own family for several years. We took in Petey during the pandemic, when he was dropped off at the shelter for euthanasia as a small puppy because the breeder couldn’t sell him. Petey suffers from spina bifida, which is a spinal issue. It does not slow him down when playing or cause any discomfort, but it does leave him unable to control his bowels. A combination of vet-directed nutrition, a structured schedule (eating and outside at the same time everyday), diapers, and kennels, minimize the associated care, but obviously he needs a very special commitment. Caring for Petey also requires financial support. We have taken on three annual vet visits since we took him in, one recent emergency room trip, plus ongoing costs of care (food, supplies, meds as needed, etc…). In hopes of maximizing his chances for adoption, we have also waived his adoption fee. If you feel strongly about giving dogs like Petey a chance, please consider a donation and/or promoting his adoption profile! We’d be happy to set up a meeting immediately with anyone who submits an application. Thank you

As the year comes to a close and you consider your charitable donations- we hope you’ll think of Darla! Darla was adopted, then returned through no fault of her own. She was showing signs of pain that at first glance seemed behavioral- it ended up being a cruciate tear. We worked with her vet in an effort to avoid surgery, and she has responded very well to treatments with platelet rich plasma. This took us down from paying thousands to just $500!

Our rescue depends on donations from bully lovers like you to cover these treatments for dogs. We appreciate you so much already & hope for your continued support!

Thor is a young lowrider bully mix who has never met a stranger. He will wiggle over to everyone for pets when on a walk, and is definitely more of a welcome party than a watchdog. Thor enjoys training exercises, and is currently mastering recall. HE also loves to ride shotgun with his head out the window. Thor is young (1-2 years old) and still gets hilarious zoomies, but most of the time he is very chill and relaxed. He is crate and house trained, and will adjust relatively easily to his new home. Thor currently lives with other dogs, but would do best as an only pet or with only female dogs. Unfortunately, due to chronic ear infections that were never treated, Thor is going to need some pretty serious surgeries. Though covered by the adoption fee, this will leave him with significant hearing loss. Given his happy go lucky good nature, we don’t expect it will slow him down much though! Meet Thor tomorrow at

Titan is a 1 year old American Bully who is an absolutely delightful wild thing. He loves to zoomie in the yard, chase balls, press his nose looking out the car window, and will love any adventure you can offer. He is eager to please and sits on command, but really he just hovers his cute butt an inch off the ground while his tail nub buzzes. In the house, Titan is a velcro dog who will follow you around and sleep at your feet. He is very cuddly and entertaining, but needs more exercise and stimulation than some of our other adoptable dogs. Titan loves other dogs, but plays very rough and often doesn’t understand dogs’ body language, so for now he should be the only dog in the home and also he is not quite ready for small children. Titan has a huge personality inside a compact body, and would do best with active people who are committed to training him but letting him continue to be so silly and ridiculous. Meet Titan on Saturday 12/21 at the NOBR December Adoption Event!

The NOBR December Adoption Event is THIS SATURDAY from 1-2pm at Zony Mash Beer Project! Whether ready to adopt, or just saying hi, this is the best time to meet the dogs and ask questions about adoption. Please leave your current pets and children under 14 at home. We will set up a private meeting for your whole family if you submit an application.

Brutus! This handsome bulldog was extremely down on his luck until just recently. He was found on the side of Veterans Blvd emaciated, weak, and desperate for human help. We think he was dumped but can’t be sure. Brutus was just 21lbs- he is now 34lbs and we are still looking to put weight on him. As Brutus gets healthier though, he is adapting extremely well (and quickly) to home life. He is super easy going, and has such a gentle chill presence. Brutus is confused by toys, but not the joy of a belly rub and massage. Unlike some of our others who crave exercise, napping in the sun is more preferable to Brutus than a long walk in the park. Brutus would be the perfect couch companion for people who are homebodies, or he could serve as a loyal navigator sitting shotgun. Brutus is 4-5 years old, and does require a little extra care as he is still dealing with some wrinkle and skin issues after years of neglect. Brutus generally gets along well with both dogs and cats, but as a dog who has not had consistent access to food and water, he can get a little protective of this so he’s not a match for every pet. Brutus obviously deserves to be spoiled and then some! It is obvious that his past makes him appreciate love and attention that much more, and he will fall madly in love with new family. Come meet Brutus at the NOBR December Adoption Event and please support his medical care by buying a calendar!

Hippo! Despite his mean mug and tough guy look, Hippo is a sensitive and gentle bully who needs a patient and loving home. Hippo is barely a year old and still very puppy-like. He responds to baby talk and butt scratches, and has gotten great advice from NOBR alums Rocko and Billie Jean who have been showing him the ropes in foster care. Hippo loves to play with other dogs, and can’t understand why sometimes they are a bit intimidated by his broad posture. Though young, Hippo has quickly mastered his manners, including being housebroken and calm in his kennel. Hippo bonds tightly with people once he gets to know them, and will quickly become your shadow, space heater, confidante, and BFF. We don’t know what happened to Hippo early in life, but he definitely had some negative interactions with people. He is weary of strangers and getting pet over the head, but then lovingly melts once he feels comfortable. This is something that will rapidly improve over time with positive reinforcement and increased confidence, but also requires a family who can help guide slow introductions. For now, a home with no small children is best. We would also love for Hippo to go to a home with another dog that can be a good role model for him. Support Hippo by buying a NOBR calendar and come meet him at the NOBR December Adoption Event!

Olive is the sweetest little English/Frenchie mix baby. At a bit under a year old, she’s full of puppy enthusiasm and playfulness. But don’t worry, she’s just as happy lazily snuggling with her pack. Olive is great with other dogs and knows how to moderate her play as needed. If another dog doesn’t like playing, she will happily cuddle-up to them instead. Olive would do best in a home with canine siblings. That said, if her human(s) have lots of time to interact and snuggle with her, that’s more important than anything. Physical affection is her top priority. Her foster family calls her a top-tier snuggler! She’s also very funny. Her favorite way to watch TV is to climb on the back of the couch and perch her chin on the shoulder of one of her humans. Olive can be a bit stand-off-ish with people at first, but she warms up very quickly. She takes a little longer to warm-up to men than women. It doesn’t take her long, but a little patience will be needed. She does love attention and affection though, so as her positive experiences with people increase her stand-off-ish-ness will improve. She is a puppy, so she is still house-training and learning some basic manners. She will require the same degree of patience and tolerance that any new puppy will. Thankfully, Olive doesn’t have any known health issues, and her cherry eyes will be surgically corrected prior to adoption.
All that said, if you’d love to adopt a snuggly little velcro baby, Olive may be the dog for you! Her foster family swears that she is one of the sweetest and most physically affectionate foster dogs they’ve ever had! Meet Olive at the NOBR December Adoption Event!

Special thank you to Lydia and NOBR alums Valerie and Bartholomew for fostering Olive and helping her so much! For those of you wondering how they could let her be adopted when she literally fits in so well, it’s because we know she will continue to thrive with her own family, and Valerie and Bart’s love will be of great benefit to their next foster dog once Olive is adopted.

Fiona is a teddy-bear-like puppy who is happy literally all the time. Her charmingly stocky build is constantly buzzing and wiggling back and forth as she follows you from room to room. Fiona would actually prefer to be touching you, and has a knack for holding hands and falling asleep on feet. She will totally match your vibe- whether it's time for a walk or to snooze on the couch. She is barely a year old and still a puppy, so needs a home that is patient with training and enthusiastic about positive reinforcement. Fiona is incredibly sweet and gentle with kids, dogs, and cats. However, she contracted CHV at a breeder, which is almost surely the reason she was surrendered. She is "healthy" and this virus is typically only a risk to unvaccinated puppies and severely immunocompromised dogs, but she may not be a match for every home. Meet Fiona THIS SATURDAY at the NOBR December Adoption Event!
