My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am a OLD LADY that has Arthritis and Knee and Leg trouble. So not great on being Steady and times.

Rose is Black with tan legs and I small white area on chest.
She is shy with new people (Jerky treats lets her warm up faster). Not all treats will do. Will remember them for later visits. Acts like a Guard dog at my Chain Link gates. Any person or animal who walks by gets barked at. Sometimes with hair raised. Will barrel past you when she is rung from one side of the house to the other and to back when she sees the Squirrels on the power lines.
Unknown on kids.
Likes other dogs when introduced.
Unknown about cats.
Wants to catch and kill the Tree Squirrels around my house. They run on top of wood fence and power lines. Jumps up high on fence. But no try to jump over the fence. I know of 2 Blue-belly Lizards that she dispatched.
Loves car rides.
Ok on a leash (pulls some). Need more work.
Mostly House and Kennel trained, but will growl at anyone she does not know that comes up to Kennel look at her. Never bitten, but not sure if a unknown person tries to take her out of kennel. Usually rattles the kennel when she has to go out. When in the house, usually comes over to touch then head to the back door to go out.
Inside at times (usually at night) and outside dog.
Needs a splash pond to run through and lie in. If you don`t she will put her face and front feet in her water bucket. She gets hot with all her running around in the back yard and the Valley heat.
Chews on wood, plastic and other things, will dig if left outside awhile without a person. Plush toys, tennis balls are out (they won`t last).
I give her Super Poop to keep her dog poop better than COW POOP style.
Will bark to the neighbors dogs through the Wood fence. I put up sheets so she could not see them. But she can still hear them.

SO she NEEDS a job to do with you. OR she will create a job.

I took her in and got her fixed because her previous owner was moving into a tiny apartment and the City Pound were on taking in any more dogs. I was hoping that a couple of rescue people I knew would help after her fixing. They could/would not take her. Has had her puppy shots also. Just got her 3yr Rabies shot on Oct 01, 2025.

Additional adoption info

In the Central Valley, we have an over abundance of homeless and unwanted pets. There are simply too many companion animals and not enough homes! But you can help. One way to start putting an end to pet overpopulation is to adopt your next pet from the Central California SPCA. In doing so, you immediately give a home to an animal that didn’t have one, and you reduce the overall number of homeless pets in our community.

You are saving a life and enhancing your own. You are also helping to support the nearly 2,400 animals that come through our doors each year.

Please note that these are sheltered, homeless animals that are not always perfect in every way. They may need extra time to adjust or have unforeseen behavioral or medical problems. While we strive for successful placement by providing as healthy, well socialized animals as possible, we can only provide any history we have received, collected, or observed from staff or volunteers during their stay.
