About Rosa

Meet Rosa, the playful pittie puppy. Rosa spent some time in a home where she learned commands like sit, stay, and give me five. This clever girl is eager to continue her training with positive reinforcement methods in her new home. Being a puppy, she's still mastering skills such as potty training, crate training, and leash walking. Adopters should be ready to invest time, energy, and humor into her upbringing. Rosa could thrive in a home with other animals, just as long as introductions are slow and thoughtful. Any resident dogs should meet her at the shelter ahead of adoption. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is providing a special incentive along with dog adoptions. Each newly adopted pup comes with “Pawsitivity Bucks,” a $200 training voucher for connecting with local behavior consultants. This gives newly formed canine-human pairs the chance to start their journey on the right paw. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
