Story

Meet Luna, the 6 month old Belgian Malinois mix. Luna came to the Shelter after her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. She lived primarily outdoors with her sister Sassy (who is also up for adoption at the Shelter). Luna and Sassy sometimes get in squabbles over resources like food, toys and treats so we are looking to rehome them separately. Luna has met other dogs at the Shelter (including her new BFF Nico) and enjoyed running around the yard and playing. A home with another dog may be a fit after a meet and greet paired with a slow, thoughtful introduction (especially around fun things like toys and treats). We are not recommending Luna to live in a home with small animals, cats or young children. Adopters for Luna should do some breed research prior to adoption to make sure they are up for the day to day above average mental and physical stimulation that Luna will need to be a good canine citizen. She is still learning life skills and manners (like potty training and leash walking) as well as age appropriate socialization. Adopters should plan to bond with Luna through positive reinforcement based training. Luna is available for pre-adoption. Come meet her, fall in love and take her home after her spay surgery. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw!Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Meet Lassie, the 6 month old Belgian Malinois mix. Lassie came to the Shelter after her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. She lived primarily outdoors with her sister Luna (who is also up for adoption at the Shelter). Luna and Lassie sometimes get in squabbles over resources like food, toys and treats so we are looking to rehome them separately. Lassie has met other dogs at the Shelter and seems a little overwhelmed by them.

Rosalita

German Shepherd Dog

Female

Cupertino, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you want a 5-year-old, confident, beautiful, black and tan, playful, female German Shepherd, look no further because today is your lucky day! Rosalita was initially was rescued at the age of 9 months old when her owner found her abandoned at the school where she taught. Rosie was not a good fit with the small dog in residence so she came into rescue and was adopted by a nice person with no other dogs. She lived there happily, chasing balls and butterflys, until her person passed away. Now she's back in rescue. She likes adults and children, is intelligent and food motivated. She can sit, heel, and wait for release before eating which, given her attraction to food, is a very difficult trick. She is crate trained, housetrained and walks well on a leash. She does have a dislike for the mailman and is happy that he leaves when she barks. Rosalita loves toys and will entertain herself with or without anyone around. She is always up for adventures in the car and is usually pretty good, especially if riding on the passenger side. She can sometimes get agitated by other dogs on leash, and sometimes doesn't care, the smaller ones are the worst. She will chase cats, for the fun of it. She is a Level 3 dog.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Guten Tag (Hello in German) I am Josie, a very smart, 70 lbs., three-year-old girl, with classic GSD coloring. My fosters have been very patient with me. When they have guests, I love to meet and play with them. I was enrolled in a training program to improve my behavior around other dogs while on walks. I have improved, but still need practice. I understand heel, stay, and sit, the basics of being a good girl. I am working on being a better passenger, learning to relax and not get overly excited. Some of my favorite things are walks, playing with my toys, and napping in the sun. I love when my foster parents say, “Get a toy, Josie, and let’s play.” I run over to my toy box and throw a few out until I find my favorite. I have access to the yard through a doggie door, so my foster parents don’t have to get up to take me out to relieve myself. At night, I am not crated, although I have access to it. I quietly check on my family. I am very good at getting into my crate when they need to go shopping or to other appointments. I just nap and wait for them to return with lots of kisses. My best home would be with active people. I have never been around children, so I cannot say how I might behave. It will be best for me to be the only dog. I am really looking for a committed family because I know I have lots of potential and want an opportunity to prove how loving and wonderful I can be. If I sound like the girl you are looking for, I would love to meet you. You can ask my foster parents any questions you may have about me. I know they will miss me, but we are all excited for me to find my forever family.July 28, 2026, 2:26 pm
