Story
Meet Maple the Collie mix! Maple came to the Shelter after her previous guardians reported that she had a bit too much interest in chasing the chickens in the home and were unable to manage that behavior. Maple lived with other dogs and dog-savvy cats in her previous home whom she enjoyed playing with. She spent the majority of her time outdoors in her previous home, so she may need some patience in the transition to her new home in regards to things like potty training. Maple has lived with children, was reported to be sociable with strangers, and she does well riding in the car. 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
Looks like: Border Collie mix Female, 5 years old (estimated), 53 pounds Fern is looking for a home that will give her lots of exercise - a couple of runs daily would be ideal. If you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, Fern would love to be your gal. Fern has an active mind. She is learning the difference between what she is allowed to play with and what is off limits. She is very good at entertaining herself by dragging large dog beds around the house. She loves other dogs, and she is intrigued by cats, but doesn't hurt them. People outside of her usual pack are scary. She is skittish in places she doesn't know and jumps at sudden sounds. She currently lives in a remote area and will likely adjust once she has more positive experiences. Fern was found as a stray in a rural area of Monterey County, and sadly no one came looking for her. We can't wait for this beautiful girl to bond with her people and blossom in time!

Story
Meet Zaida! If you’ve been searching for a sweet, silly, treat-powered sidekick, Zaida’s your girl. This gorgeous border collie mix was rescued after being found on the side of the road, and she’s gone from rags to zoomies in no time. Now she’s living her best foster life and is officially ready to find her forever family! Zaida is basically the definition of main character energy. She loves being the center of attention, thrives on praise (and snacks, obviously), and has perfected the art of dramatic herding-dog stares. She’s not here for apartment life, this girl needs a yard to live out her zoomie dreams. Think of her as your personal Peloton instructor, but fuzzier and way cuter. She’s also a one-of-a-kind pup with her own quirks. Zaida has a condition called idiopathic head tremor syndrome (IHTS)—translation: sometimes her head and body do little wiggles of their own. It’s benign and just part of her unique vibe. Along with that, she’s on long-term meds to help with anxiety and OCD, which help her stay her sweet, snuggly, happy self. Zaida would do best with experienced adopters who understand herding breeds and are ready to keep her brain and body busy. She prefers to be the solo diva in the house but does fine with other dogs too. No tiny humans under 8, please, she’s still working on her social graces. ** This pet is a Foster-to-Adopt candidate! That means you can foster them for a short trial period to make sure they’re the perfect match for your home before finalizing the adoption. If you’re interested, please complete both a foster application and an adoption application so we can get the process started. ** Zaida is currently in a loving foster home. A meet and greet can be scheduled once an online adoption application has been submitted and approved by AFRP staff. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org to fill one out today!

Story
This is Hoover, male, also almost 7mths old. Fully vaccinated 1st full rounds of puppy shots Sept 19th and also born May 13th as his sister Daisy, they are litter mates. He however will be much larger in size! Probably around 70+lbs full grown. Loves to herd and chase everything and me. He is very strong willed, protective, clumsy, goofy personality, soft soul, clingy, loves to snuggle and give many kisses. Hasn't had a lot of out in the world exposure nor people and other dog socializing, but is getting knowledge and better with it everyday. He's a loyal guard dog who could benefit hugely in working on a farm, or agility training with consistent mental cognitive activities. Loves to nap and goof play with his human too. I believe he'd be great with other working dogs to follow in their lead and has already done great with friendly calmer dogs too after some time of warming up to them. Great on walks, but nervous with loud noises. He will be a great dog under the right handler.

Story
This is Daisy, she's the female runt. Almost 7mths old, born May 13th, fully vaccinated 1st full rounds of puppy shots on Sept 19th. Easily trainable, very smart, super goofy, loving yet spicy high busy energy. Recall great in a home base comfortable environment, can sit, sit pretty, wait (short period) and loves to chase and play with toys and stuffed animals. Getting better at potty training, still working on alerting me when need to go out to potty. However, good at using potty pads indoors over rugs. She is very playful and good with friendly calmer dogs after some time to warm up around them in a home base environment. Friendly to calm natured kids. In public around people and loud noises she is shy and timid, submits to being touched and say hello when being held. Getting better on leash walks and learning to release on pulling with a soft prong collar. When out in public my truck is her safe place. However, she will sniff, pee and calm down on walks when surrounding is calm.
