Story
Meet Socks, the leggy mixed breed. Socks came to the Shelter after her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. This energetic gal is needing an active adopter to meet her day to day needs. She can be jumpy and mouthy (especially when excited). These behaviors can be overwhelming for children or people inexperienced with dogs, especially since Socks is a larger sized dog. Socks has attended playgroup at the Shelter and has enjoyed wrestling and running around with other large sized dogs. She can be a tactile player (pawing at the dogs and jumping on them) so any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption to ensure that the dogs jive. Staff have observed that when another dog is present, Socks is less likely to jump and mouth on people. Due to this, a home with a canine companion is highly recommended moving forward. Socks was outdoors previously and should transition to indoor living as she wants to be with people and a part of the family. Adopters should be patient with Socks to help her transition to her adoptive home and learn life skills and manners (like leash walking and potty training). Good news is that Socks is HIGHLY food motivated and super smart so she is up for the challenge of bonding with her new people through learning. Socks` adoption fee has been sponsored by the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter Foundation`s Leave No One Behind fund - a fund that draws adopter`s eyes towards animals that have been waiting a little bit longer than average for the right adopters to come along and bring them home.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 Rudy Meet Rudy, a handsome 2-year-old sable Belgian Malinois weighing in at 80 pounds! Rudy is a big, strong, energetic boy with a huge love for people.His favorite thing? People! Rudy absolutely loves human companionship and is happiest when he’s spending time with his person. He’s incredibly intelligent and eager to engage, but he’s also a young Malinois who needs structure, guidance, and continued training to help him become the best dog he can be.Rudy is very strong and active, so he’ll thrive with an experienced adopter who understands working breeds and is ready to provide him with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, boundaries, and positive training. He has a lot of potential and would love having a job to do and a person who enjoys working with him.When it comes to other dogs, Rudy is selective. He may not be the right match for every canine companion, so thoughtful introductions and careful management will be important.Rudy has all the makings of an incredible companion for the right person. He’s smart, affectionate, energetic, and absolutely loves his humans. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you active, challenge you to learn together, and give you plenty of devotion in return, Rudy could be your guy.Rudy at a glance:2-year-old sable Belgian Malinois80 lbsLoves people!Very intelligentNeeds continued training and structureVery strongActive and energeticSelective with other dogsBest suited for an experienced, active adopterCurrent Adoption Hours:Tuesday-Saturday1PM-4PM 160 Hitchcock Rd, Salinas, CA831-769-8850 Adoption information:Adoptions are first come first serve and if you currently own a dog, you are required to bring in for a dog to dog intro.

Story
We rescued Kali when she was between four and six months old, and she has brought so much love to our family for seven years. Kali is incredibly sweet, intelligent, playful, and strong, and she truly enjoys interacting with people of all ages. We have been fortunate to create many wonderful memories with her at the beach, at home, and on our various trips. Unfortunately, our family has become very busy, and because Kali is a rescue dog, she struggles with separation anxiety and becomes distressed when left alone. This breaks our hearts because we want the absolute best for her and realize we are currently unable to provide the dedicated attention she needs. We sincerely hope to find the right home for her where she will feels safe and continue to share all her love to everyone round her.

Story
Meet Bruno, the Shepherd mix puppy. Although Bruno arrived to the Shelter as a stray initially, we have learned a lot about him during his time at the Shelter and during visits to volunteer`s houses for enrichment. Bruno is an engaging pup who would thrive with an active guardian that provides daily mental and physical stimulation. He is now a regular play group attendee and definitely benefits from the socialization of hanging out with other Shelter dogs. Some of his friends include (also adoptable): Kenai (male husky), Socks (female herding breed), Ziya (female pittie), and Anastasia (female mixed breed). Bruno would love an adoptive home with a canine play mate. Any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter before adoption to see how the dogs interact. A volunteer who took Bruno on an adventure day reports he is eager to please, curious, affectionate and responsive. He is super easy getting in and out of the car and calm during the ride. He enjoyed a nice long walk at a local park and did well meeting a variety of people and dogs. He will respond to `stop`, `come` and `sit` on cue. After the adventure, when saying goodbye to him, the volunteer reported he climbed into his lap with affection - a true sweetie!Bruno`s adoption fee has been sponsored by Santa Cruz Animal Shelter Foundation`s Leave No One Behind fund - a fund that draws adopter`s eyes towards animals that have been waiting a little bit longer than average for the right adopters to come along and bring them home.The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption.
