Rosa is a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois mama who came into rescue after enduring instability, stress, and multiple environmental changes. She arrived with puppies, little structure, and no consistent training foundation — only survival instincts.

Like many working breeds, Rosa is intelligent, sensitive, and high-drive, but without the proper guidance, structure, and leadership, these traits can quickly turn into anxiety, overstimulation, and unsafe behaviors in a home environment.

We are raising funds to place Rosa into a 3-week professional Board & Train program so she can receive the tools she needs to succeed — and so we can set her up for a safe, stable, long-term future.

Why Rosa Needs Board & Train

Rosa has shown:

• Difficulty with boundaries and impulse control

• Stress-related behaviors due to repeated transitions

• The need for clear structure, consistency, and professional guidance

This is not something love alone can fix — she needs experienced training, daily structure, and real-world exposure guided by a professional.

Without this support, Rosa’s chances of a successful long-term placement are at risk.

Cost Breakdown

The total cost for Rosa’s 3-week Board & Train is $2,800.

As a rescue, we operate entirely on donations and are currently facing ongoing veterinary and care expenses for many animals in our program. This training is an investment in Rosa’s life and safety.
