Story
IN Santa Cruz! Meet Ranger, a 8 year old male Border Collie. Ranger is is typical border collie who is playful and super smart. Ranger came to us after his owner passed away. He was loved but didn’t get out too much. He was 1 of 4+ plus dogs and we think the dogs were left to their own devices. With this being said, Ranger can be nervous in public and is more of a homebody. RANGER IS GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS BUT needs to gain trust with them first. We would considereder him insecure resulting to him being reactive in public at times. Off leash, he is much more calm and at ease. He is otherwise aloof to other dogs. Ranger’s ideal home would be: -a home where he can be a priority -a home experienced with border collies or other herding breeds -owners that are understanding of his sensitives in pubic and manage him accordingly -would be best suited in a home as a home body Ranger is a fun loving border collie but he also has an off switch! He is perfectly happy relaxing on the couch hanging out with his owners. He also loved his foster brothers and sisters!! Ranger will make his people very happy but they also need to be understanding of his background and manage his environment. Ranger is; fully house trained, has good house manners, and is easy to live with. He also has some basic training under the right circumstances. Ranger is is neutered, up-to-date and microchipped. If you would like to learn more about this sweet guy, please submit an application https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Sterling is a PERFECT SIZE 31 pound young (1.5-2 year old) female border collie mix. She has healed beautifully from a broken leg after being hit by a car. She is housebroken and crate trained. She can be shy at first but warms up well to both adults and older children. She gets along well with other dogs and is ok with her foster cat. She may benefit from living with another dog for leash walking confidence. She gets nervous in the car but doubt she has been acclimated to car travel. She is VERY sweet and ready to learn anything new!

Story
This is Kairo. He is 3 years old and loves to play fetch! He loves hugs and love pets. Unfortunately I have to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome him due to moving and I won’t be able to bring him with me. I have already reached out to friends and family and no one can take him….I am heartbroken because he is so loving and so smart and loyal. He loves the park and playing with squeaky toys. He’s great with kids and would love to be part of a family. He enjoys pup cups and anything savory. His favorite time of the day is when he gets to go on a walk to the park to play fetch. He’s very calm in the house and doesn’t bark. He can loves to play with people but will enjoy playing with a ball or squeaky toy by himself. He’s very loving and always wants to gives people hugs and a few kisses. I’m looking for a permanent home for him with loving, caring, and patient owners who will give him all the love and attention he needs.

Meet Hip and Hop, two young puppies found stray by a good samaritan. These young puppies are estimated to be medium to large-breed mixes and would benefit from socialization and positive-reinforcement training. Unfortunately, we do not know much about them or their previous lives. They warm up to people who are also soft and affectionate, just like them. Hip and Hop are required to be adopted separately. Now through July 19th, adoption fees are reduced to $70 thanks to the BISSELL Pet Foundation`s Empty the Shelter event!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 Ben, the border collie mix. This guy is XL in size and is looking for an exercise buddy who will help him increase his daily step count as well as start an appropriate diet to get into his summer body. Adopters should work with their veterinarian to determine an appropriate weight loss plan for Ben so that he starts to feel more comfortable. Overweight animals having higher risks of increased medical risks so getting Ben to a healthier weight will be a priority for his next family. Besides his weight loss, Ben is an overall good boy. He has been easy going, quiet and generally good company. He is non-reactive when walking by other dogs and may enjoy an easy going canine companion. We do not have any history of Ben with children or other animals. Now through July 19th, adoption fees are reduced to $70 thanks to the BISSEL Pet Foundation`s Empty the Shelter event!Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week!
