Story
Ginny is a very sweet girl. She was at a shelter and was a having a tough a time getting acclimated and was sadly getting close to euthanasia. After spending sometime with her and bringing my family around her we realized she just needed another chance. Ginny loves to play and loves her cuddles. She loves to be a part of your day. My wife says she just follows her around and loves to put her head or her lap anytime she can. She listens very well and has had some time around other dogs as well as cats. She does well with both. She shows interest in the cats but nothing more than a look. As for other dogs she loves to play and be part of the action. She sleeps with my daughter every night and does excellent with our 2 children. Another example of a dog put into 23 hours a day of isolation that just needed a chance. I adopted Ginny with the mindset of saving her life and finding her a forever home. Which she greatly deserves!!

Story
Meet Picasso, the handsome brindle pitbull mix. Picasso arrived to the Shelter as a stray so we don’t know about his life before the Shelter. It took a few days for Picasso to warm up but slowly, but surely – he started to befriend staff members. He went from quiet and reserve to more engaging – galloping around the exercise yards and even sometimes sitting on a chair on his own. Picasso has met some dogs at the Shelter and greets in a fairly forward manner. He is interested in interacting but sometimes his hormones get the best of him (resulting in some humping). Any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Picasso may not be every dog’s cup of tea due to the mounting behavior. Adopters should avoid high traffic dog areas and prioritize decompression after adoption before Picasso meets a bunch of new pups. We do not have any history of Picasso with children or other animals. Picasso is available for pre-adoption. Come meet him, fall in love and take him home after his neuter surgery. Picasso`s adoption has been sponsored by a generous donor!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
Lovey Dovey may be a senior dog in years but has the pep and love of a much younger dog. She has been living it up in a foster home but is looking for her adoptive home. Here is the low-down on this sweet girl:-Relaxed when left alone free roam in the house while foster parents work full time-Potty trained-LOVES to cuddle on the couch-Great on car rides-Enjoys walks but a bit strong on leash-Enjoys playing with toys-Would do best in a home without small animals (cats, rabbits, etc)-In foster w/ a male dog around her size. Can be selective with her dog friends (prefers quality over quantity). Any resident dogs to meet prior to adoption. Dovey’s adoption fee is sponsored thanks to the Silver Whisker’s Society – a fund aiming to get often overlooked seniors out of the Shelter.

Hello, I'm KORA, and if you're on the lookout for a lovable, active, and super-smart gal who can be your workout partner and couch warmer all in one, then your search ends here! I had a ruff start – rescued from a kill shelter, emaciated and pregnant. But, that's all in the past now, and all I want is a bright future filled with love. As a young adult pup, I'm seeking a family to call my own. I've discovered the joy of running around and playing in my foster home, and I know that's what I want in my forever home. I dream of a life without pain and sadness, and I believe the perfect family is out there for me. Some of my absolute favorite things include tennis balls, rubber balls – basically any ball! I'm super eager to learn and get along well with other dogs. My foster brother Rumpus is bigger than me, but he's gentle and has welcomed me into his family while I search for my own forever family. I'm all about love, and cuddling up with Rumpus or my foster family is the best feeling ever – it makes me feel so special. I would really like another dog to live with, I love my foster brother! Just one small thing – I have a high prey drive, so please, no kitties. They're just too tempting to chase. If you think you could be my forever person or family, head over to www.aarflove.org and complete an application. I'm hoping you are, and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Story
Meet Dom, an 8-year-old, approximately 65-pound sweetheart looking for a home of his own. Please call us at 831-769-8850 to request a meeting Dom came to our shelter on May 5, 2026, after his owner passed away and no friends or family were able to take him in. He spent well over a month in our care while receiving treatment for skin issues before he was ready for adoption. Shelter life was difficult for him, and he wasn’t doing well. Then Dom got the chance he needed: a foster home. He’s been with his foster for a couple of months now and is thriving. With good care and proper nutrition, his skin has cleared up. He’s settling into home life and showing us the sweet, easygoing dog he is and has always been. His foster describes Dom as a “go with the flow” kind of guy at home. He settles quickly and naps peacefully while his person is at work, but he’s always ready to join them for a walk or an adventure. Dom is house-trained, eager to please, and quick to learn. He knows “sit” and “paw” and is working on “stay” and “down.” He isn’t crate-trained, but he has free range of the home without accidents or destructive behavior.Dom loves toys and likes to collect them in a pile. When it’s time to relax, he’s happiest tucked under a blanket. He’s adorable and entertaining, and his foster shares new clips of him almost daily on Instagram at @luluslegacyfosters.Outside the home, Dom can become overwhelmed and excited around other animals, so introductions and a thoughtful match are important. He does best with friendly dogs around his size and isn’t a match for small dogs or cats. He walks nicely on leash.After losing his person and spending so long waiting for his chance, Dom is finally getting to experience the comforts of home. We’d love to see him find an adopter who appreciates his companionship, will continue helping him learn, and won’t mind sharing space with a toy collection—and maybe a blanket burrito or two.Thanks to donations made to Friends of Hitchcock Road Animal Services, Dom’s adoption fee is just $50. He’s available through Hitchcock Road Animal Services.
