Rooster's Story

Weight ~ 52 lbs<br/>**Adoption Fee sponsored by Loren Morse, Realtor**<br/><br/>This is Rooster. And his ears rule the roost. He's a regal, tall, slender, and athletic 3-year-old mutt mosaic. At just over 50 pounds, behold a beautiful mix of breeds that we can only guess. In his previous home, he completed obedience training and was very quick to learn new things. He mastered basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, off, out, heel, come, and paw. He's also crate trained (he loves it), and potty trained. <br/><br/>Rooster is super sweet, loving, and very loyal to his people -- and has made many friends with our staff and volunteers. He's also made a few dog friends here at the shelter and is a regular participant in our playgroup program with dogs of his size or larger. That said, we've heard he can be a little TOO interested in cats and smaller animals. We also recommend a home without small kids (older teenage kiddos might be okay). <br/><br/>Rooster was in a foster home to get a break from the shelter. His foster did a great job working with him on all things dog, here's what they had to say about him: "Out and about, Rooster is full of joy — greeting old shelter friends with happy dances and enthusiasm, walking mostly on a loose leash, and recovering from excitement much faster than before. He is learning polite greetings on walks, trails, and beach outings (even if squirrels still tempt him).<br/><br/>At home, Rooster is an absolute dream: fully housebroken, trustworthy when left alone, cuddly, calm, and a champion sunbather. He settles quickly with visitors, takes treats gently, is easy to medicate, and loves nothing more than being close to his people."<br/><br/>Doesn't he sound like a wonderful dog? It's because he is! <br/><br/>If you'd like to meet Rooster, please call the Adoptions desk Tue-Sun 11-5 so we can coordinate a meet & greet!

Santa Cruz SPCA's Adoption Policy
The first step is to fill out an application on our website. Petfinder inquiries are not considered an application. Adoptions are conducted on a best-match basis. If we feel you are a great match for an animal you have applied for, we will reach out to you regarding the next steps to adoption. • If you're interested in a pet: Visit our website and fill out an application. We will send an auto-reply email with what to expect and be in touch if we will be moving forward in the process with you. Please be patient and understand response times are currently a bit lengthy. We cannot expedite the process if you call and email to follow up. * Dogs can have meet-and-greets and dog-to-dog meetings, however, we are unable to do so with cats. Kittens and puppies are not eligible for the 7-day foster-to-adopt trial periods, but adult cats and dogs are. Trials are at the discretion of staff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Check out adoptable dogs and cats on our website: spcasc.org • Complete the "Adoption Profile" Once you’ve found a well-matched furry friend, please complete our Adoption Profile form on our website. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. - It’s important that any current canine companions enjoy your new friend as much as you do. We facilitate dog-to-dog introductions outside our main shelter, on leash. For your own dog’s safety, we ask that you do not bring him or her into the shelter. If we move forward with your application and you apply for a dog and already have one, you will be asked to bring your current dog to meet your new potential dog to do a meet-and-greet.
