Story
Meet Libby, the adorable Pyrenees mix! Libby came to the Shelter by no fault of her own (her previous guardians were unable to continue caring for her). Libby was primarily outdoors in her previous home. She had some small breed dog friends in the previous home and has enjoyed meeting dogs since her arrival at the Shelter. Her previous guardians report that Libby loves car rides and did well at the professional groomer for “spa days”. Her favorite activities in her previous home were running, playing with toys, as well as playing with children and other dogs. Libby has some of her basic cues down such as sit and down and would love to keep learning with her new family. 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 Boston, the fluffy white Pyrenees! Boston came to the Shelter as a stray so we don’t know a whole lot about his life before the Shelter. Staff have observed that he has been affiliative, easy to leash and handle, as well as calm in his kennel. Boston has gone to playgroup with two similarly sized dogs (Libby and Elmo) and enjoyed romping around with them – playbowing as well as some light wrestling and chase. A resident dog in the home may be a fit after a meet and greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Boston with cats, livestock or children.

Salinas, CA – Meet Shelby Shelby is a beautiful 3-year-old Great Pyrenees who’s been with us for two wonderful years. We rescued her from a situation where her previous owner could no longer care for her.

Story
Moana is a 14mo 1/2 silver lab and 1/2 Great Pyrenees unaltered female up for adoption. I have met both parents and while she looks like other breeds she is indeed the above mix called a “Pyrador” Moana is an extremely loving girl with a ton of lab energy! She is crate and potty trained great with dogs and kids, but probably kids that are taller than her because she is at just the right height and keeps knocking down our younger kids hard. She needs to be able to get out and run to bring down that energy and with 4 kids a job and a house it’s just too much for our family.

Story
Adopt Athena! This beautiful puppy is a great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix. She was a litter of 12 and we are able to help eight of them. 4 were given away by the owners. The owners had several dogs who were not fixed and had an accidental litter. Athena is a very sweet dog who loves to play and will be a bigger dog as she grows. She’s going to be a loyal companion and has been around farm animals/dogs. She was great with kids and a very great temperament. She is located in San Martin California and we would love for you to meet her. To apply please use our adoption application located on our website.September 2, 2025, 8:41 am

Story
Meet Rambo, the Anatolian mix! This adolescent goofball is looking for an active family to help provide the daily mental and physical stimulation he craves. Staff observe that he is eager to interact – jumping up and leaning in for pets. He is still perfecting his manners and will thrive with a patient guardian who will help reward good behaviors through positive reinforcement based training. Rambo is a little unsure around new dogs and would prefer to not go to high traffic dog areas (such as dog park or dog beaches) while he is still gaining confidence. A home with a dog savvy dog may be a fit after some initial meet and greets at the Shelter. Rambo`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous Good Samaritan!The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption.
