Story
Meet Zipper, the adult chihuahua! Zipper arrived to the Shelter with three other similar looking dogs as strays found outside the Target parking lot in Capitola. Despite being a bit nervous upon entry, Zipper has warmed up to staff and volunteers since his arrival. Zipper may enjoy a home with other animals with a slow, thoughtful introduction. Because of Zipper’s adventure at Target, we would recommend any adopters have Zipper safely contained and supervised in an enclosed yard when outdoors or on leash to keep him safe. Velcro could be adopted with his brother Zipper but is not required to be. If adopted together, their fee would be 2 for 1. 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!Now through February 15th, all adoption fees are reduced to $33 - come to the Shelter today to adopt your very own Valentine!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 Sherbert, the chihuahua terrier mix. Sherbert came into the Shelter as a stray so we do not know much about his life before now. Staff have observed hat he took some time to warm up but after a couple meet ‘n greets with a new person – is excited to see them, tail wagging and jumping around. He has been food motivated as well, which is a great tool for desensitizing him to new people. Sherbert has an endearing underbite and a little snaggle tooth. He has met another small sized female chihuahua and was a little hormonally focused. Any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption to ensure everyone is jiving.
