Happy Tails: Rosie Posie

At just two months old, Rosie Posie had already been through more challenges than any puppy should. This adorable Terrier-Pit Bull mix arrived at the San Francisco SPCA from San Francisco Animal Care and Control (SFACC), our city’s municipal shelter. Through our close partnership with SFACC, we transfer animals to the SF SPCA daily, helping provide the care they need, prepare them for adoption, and connect them with loving homes. 

Healing with a side of treats 

When Rosie Posie arrived, our Shelter Medicine team gave her a thorough intake exam and assessed several large, full-thickness wounds on her legs and shoulder. Her wounds needed extensive cleaning, treatment, and surgery. Rosie received bandaging and plenty of medical attention as she began her recovery.

But Rosie Posie? She had other priorities.

Despite everything she had been through, this little puppy was much more interested in treats and cuddles than her medical chart. Our staff and volunteers happily obliged. As her wounds healed, Rosie Posie filled her days with the important business of being a puppy: accepting snacks, soaking up the affection, and charming everyone she met. 

Next stop: home 

Once she recovered, Rosie Posie made her way to the SF SPCA Adoption Center, ready for the next part of her journey to a loving home. It didn’t take long. Before she knew it, Rosie Posie was adopted by a lovely couple who were ready to give her the happy, healthy life she deserved.

Rosie Posie’s journey from SFACC to the SF SPCA and, finally, to her new home is one example of how our Source to Home team supports animals every step of the way. From medical care and rehabilitation to adoption and beyond, every part of that journey is made possible by a community that believes that all animals deserve a second chance.

For Rosie Posie, that journey ended exactly where it belonged: in a loving home, with lots of treats and cuddles in her future.
