Description
Dog Breed: Boston Terrier (medium coat). Meet Rocky, the Boston Terrier! Rocky came to the Shelter by no fault of his own (his previously guardians were unable to continue caring for him). He lived with another dog in his previous home (a female, older dog of similar size). Rocky spent the majority of his day outdoors in his previous home and slept indoors at night in a crate. His favorite snack is apples and he enjoys going for walks. Rocky has been around children in the previous home and did well with them. Since arrival at the Shelter, Rocky has been observed to be eager for attention and loves to play fetch. Rocky enjoyed riding in the car in his previous home. He also knows âsitâ, âdownâ and âupâ and would love to bond with his new family through positive reinforcement based training. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ 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 locationâs 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 âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd 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.

Breed overview
Boston Terrier
A.K.A.: American Gentleman, Boston Bulldog, Roundheads, Little Blue Boys, Tuxedo Terrier
Overview:
The Boston Terrier, affectionately known as the "American Gentleman," originated in the late 19th century in Boston, Massachusetts, making it one of the few breeds developed in the U.S. Physically, they are compact and muscular, typically weighing between 12 and 25 pounds, with a distinctive "tuxedo" coat pattern—black or brindle with white markings on the muzzle, chest, and often a blaze between the eyes. Their expressive, round eyes and erect, bat-like ears are hallmark features. Temperamentally, Boston Terriers are friendly, intelligent, and lively, known for their charming personalities and unwavering loyalty. They adapt well to various living situations, making them excellent companions for both families with children and individuals in apartments, as long as they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Regarding health, they are a brachycephalic (short-nosed) breed, so care must be taken in hot weather to prevent overheating, and they can be prone to eye conditions and patellar luxation. Overall, their delightful nature and manageable size make them a beloved choice for many.
