Story
Penny is a 12 week old shepherd-mix who has been living it up with her three siblings and three resident dogs (in foster care) for the last two weeks. Penny is a smart, active, and confident girl. Among her siblings, she`s usually the head of the pack, curious and lively. In addition to being extremely clever, Penny is very affectionate and eager to connect. Penny will need daily exercise, potty training, and a regular structure around which she can integrate into her new family. She would love a dog sibling and is untested with cats. *Puppies can be extremely mouthy, and Penny and her siblings are no exception. 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.

Story
Meet Portia, the Belgian Malinois Siberian husky mix. Portia arrived to the Shelter as a stray so we don’t know much about her life before the Shelter. After a day of decompression, she was relaxed and ready to interact with staff and volunteers. Staff have reported that she enjoys sniffing around the exercise yards and then checks in with her person and often getting excited. During her dog to dog interactions, Portia has had a spectrum of reactions – interested in sniffing and then playing with some while taking a bit more time to warm up to others. We suspect that Portia had some limited dog socialization experience prior to arrival at the Shelter so adopters should be patient with her as she settles into the home. High traffic areas like dog parks and beaches may not be good for Portia from the get go. She may enjoy a canine companion in the home provided they meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Portia has enjoyed digging at the Shelter and finds it enriching. Adopters may want to consider a dig pit (like a big, deep sand box for dogs) to give her safe, appropriate outlet for that behavior. We do not have any history of Portia with cats or children.Portia`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption.

Story
Meet Milo, the German Shepherd. Milo came into the Shelter after his previous guardian was unable to continue caring for him after moving from a ranch to an apartment. Milo primarily lived outdoors in his previous home and has experience around horses, chickens, sheep and other dogs. It took a few days for Milo to warm up at the Shelter but he has been social and amiable after a decompression period. Milo has met a couple of dogs since his arrival at the Shelter and has done well. Another dog in the home may be a fit provided there is a meet and greet at the Shelter prior to adoption as well as a thoughtful introduction in the home. Although Milo has primarily been outdoors, we anticipate he will likely adapt (and ultimately enjoy) being a part of the family with some outdoor lounging on sunny days.

Story
Meet Pumpkin: From Feral to Fabulous. When Pumpkin first arrived, she was a ghost of a dog—shut down, unsure, and utterly heartbroken. She was 9 months old when we saved her and her sister from a high-kill shelter in LA. They were the tiniest dogs we'd ever seen. They were like real-life stuffed animals. When Pumpkin first arrived, she was only 24 lbs at 9 months old! She was so shut down, avoiding eye contact for the fear of being noticed, and moved like a shadow, silent and scared. But even then, there was a spark in her eyes, a tiny ember of hope. Now, at ruffly 1 y/o, this Malinois mix who had only learned that the world was a scary place is now thriving in her foster home. With time, patience, and the gentle guidance of her foster fur siblings, Pumpkin is learning what it means to feel safe. She’s learning that hands can offer LUV, that voices can be kind, and that not all humans are to be feared. Her progress is nothing short of remarkable—day by day, step by step, she’s beginning to let LUV in. Pumpkin LUVS other dogs. They are her comfort zone. Her role models and her security blankets. A confident canine friend in her furever home will help her continue to blossom. She’s still shy with people, but give her time and space, and she’ll reward you with the most beautiful kind of loyalty and LUV. Pumpkin is ready for a family who sees past her ruff beginning and into the heart of a survivor. Someone who will celebrate the little wins: the first tail wag, the first nuzzle, the first moment she chooses you. She’s not just learning to live. She’s learning to trust. And that makes her story one of the most beautiful we’ve ever told. Pumpkin is looking for a forever home with: -- Another friendly dog (or dogs) to show her the ropes -- A calm, patient environment -- A family that believes in second chances Currently located in San Diego but can be transported to the Bay Area! This is Pumpkin’s redemption story. Want to help her write the next chapter? Fill out an application to meet Pumpkin and your new furever LUV! All Mutt Luv Rescue pups receive a full health checkup, heartworm and parasite testing, are fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before adoption.
