Story
Meet Napolean, the chipper little fella of a chihuahua! He came into the Shelter as a stray so we don’t have much history on him. Staff report that although tiny, Napolean is confident and social – often at the front of his kennel greeting people with tail wags and eager whining. He tolerates being picked up and, once in the yard, bounding around and playing. He has enjoyed playgroup with similarly sized dogs and has even “held his own” with larger sized dogs. A home with another canine to play with may be a fit in the future after a meet and greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Napolean with cats or dogs. Although tiny, Napolean`s energy is mighty so he would likely do well in a home that is active and will take him out for adventures with them. 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 BITSY Bitsy is a spunky little sweetheart with a big personality in a tiny package. She loves to play, zoom around the house or yard, and then curl up for a nap in the coziest spot she can find. She’s silly, curious, and always up for an adventure, whether that’s exploring new corners of the room or tossing her toys in the air. Bitsy would be thrilled to have another friendly dog in the home to keep her company, though it isn’t required if her people are around most of the time. What she needs most is a loving, patient family who won’t leave her alone for long and will give her the chance to continue growing into her confident, happy self. If you’re interested in meeting Bitsy, please visit www.aarflove.org to review our adoption process and submit an application. Rescue dogs thrive with patience, structure, and love — and in return, they’ll give you a lifetime of quiet loyalty and gratitude. Please note: We receive many wonderful applications and may not be able to respond to everyone. If we feel you might be a match, we’ll reach out directly. Thank you for supporting rescue!

Story
Meet ARES Don’t let the warrior name fool you—Ares is a total softie at heart! He’s goofy, affectionate, and always ready for a snuggle after a good round of play. Ares loves people and other dogs, and he’s happiest when he’s right in the middle of the action. Like his brothers, Ares would do best in a home with another small dog to keep him company and help him burn off all that puppy energy. He’s pure love in a tiny package! Ares has tiny sharp teeth, so very small children would not be a good fit - we call them love bites, but still would not be good for the very young! He has a long list of "loves": everyone he meets, food, toys, and especially fluffy blankets! If you're ready to add this sweet boy to your family, visit www.aarflove.org to review our adoption process and submit an application. Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and lots of love—and in return, you’ll enjoy a lifetime of tail wags, kisses, and joyful memories. Please note: We receive many wonderful applications and unfortunately cannot respond to everyone. If we believe you're a potential match, we will reach out directly. Thank you for understanding and for supporting rescue!
