Story

Meet Shadow, the 1 year old maltese mix. Shadow came into the Shelter after his previous guardian was moving and unable to take her dogs with her. Shadow arrived to the Shelter with his “sister” Luna Estrella. They could be adopted together but also could be adopted separately. In her previous home, Shadow lived with a 6 year old child and did well. He does not have experience living with felines. He used pee pads in his previous home for house training. Adopters should anticipate some time and patience transitioning from pee-pads to pottying outdoors. Shadow can be cautious of new people but with time and patience, he warms up. Adopters should prioritize decompression and acclimation as Shadow gets to know his new family and environment. As he gets comfortable and learns the ropes of his new home, adopters can slowly expand his social circle and routines. 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.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Murphy was my mother-in-law's dog. He was a rescue dog that she acquired almost 12 years ago. We are uncertain how old he was at the time she adopted him, but we believe he was under 3 years old. My mother-in-law is bedridden on hospice and we had to remove him from her home because he was guarding her and biting caregivers. He has been living at our home for the last six months and we have two dogs that he does not get along with. We can no longer keep him in our home and are looking for someone to take him in immediately. He needs a home with no other dogs or children. Murphy would do best with a single person or couple who lives a quiet life that has room for lots of love and attention for him. Murphy is quirky and would be happy to find a home where he can cuddle up and live out the rest of his life.

Story

Ozzy is an 8-month-old Maltese Terrier mix who came from a neighboring family. I took him in to provide a safe and loving environment while finding him the right permanent home. He is playful, affectionate, curious, energetic, and loves being around people. Ozzy is potty trained to go outside, neutered, and attends PetSmart Doggy Day Camp, where he does well around other dogs. He is still very much a puppy and is in his chewing stage—he loves chew toys and can tear his toys up, so he needs supervision and redirection. He can also get excited and bark at dogs or cats while on walks. I’m looking for a loving, responsible home that will give him exercise, attention, structure, continued training, and plenty of patience as he grows.

Story

Meet Tom Tom, the undisputed champion of play, self-appointed Toy Inspector, and professional speed-racer. If you have a squeaky toy, a tennis ball, or an active lifestyle, Tom Tom is already 100% convinced you two are soulmates.This handsome, energetic boy is packed with personality, endless enthusiasm, and a heart pure enough to melt a glacier. He thrives on staying busy, loves learning new tricks, and thinks brain-games are the best invention since the peanut-butter-stuffed Kong.What Makes Tom Tom So Special:Playtime Professional: His dedication to inspecting, tossing, and retrieving toys is a full-time job-and he takes his work very seriously (and hilariously).Smart Cookie: Tom Tom genuinely loves training time. He treats learning like a fun game and is always eager to show off how clever he is.Heart on His Sleeve: Beneath all that bouncy energy is a loyal, loving dog who just wants to bond deeply with his human.The Real Talk (Training & Care):Tom Tom is a bit reactive when encountering the big, busy world. He gets easily overwhelmed or overly excited around certain triggers, meaning he needs a patient, understanding partner who can guide him with confidence. The good news? He has already made fantastic progress with us and is coming along so well! To ensure a seamless transition and keep his amazing momentum going, his adoption includes a free private training session with a professional trainer.Tom Tom doesn't need a perfect world-just a loving, patient companion who is ready for fun, committed to ongoing positive training, and open to receiving a lifetime of boundless affection in return.Ready to add a whole lot of joy, laughter, and energy to your home? Tom Tom can't wait to meet you!I'm currently available for adoption by appointment, so If you'd like to learn a little bit more about me please call our behavior hotline number at (831) 264-5422.Special Needs: Because of my breed, I'll need regular grooming appointments to keep my coat healthy and comfortable. Without them, my fur can get matted or overgrown, which can lead to infections, and trust me, that makes me feel pretty yucky. Keeping me well-groomed helps me feel my best!

Carl

Maltese Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 12 yrs 1 mo

Pacific Grove, CA

Size

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looks like: Maltese, Terrier mix Male, 12 years old (estimated), 5 pounds Adventure is out there! And Carl is ready to find his! Named after the beloved grumpy-but-sweet gentleman from Up, our Carl is a much smaller and considerably fluffier version, but he shares one very important quality with his namesake: he's a wonderful old soul with a whole lot of heart. Carl is a sweet, gentle, and genuinely nice little guy who seems to appreciate the simple things in life. He's easygoing and affectionate, with the kind of calm presence that makes you want to scoop him up and take him home. Carl isn't looking for a life filled with wild adventures these days. His idea of a perfect day is likely something a little more relaxed, some gentle exploring, plenty of cozy time with his people, and knowing he has a soft place to land at the end of the day. This little gentleman has so much love left to give, and we'd love to see him spend his golden years surrounded by people who appreciate what makes senior dogs so special. Little Carl joins us from San Jose Animal Care And Services after he was found as a stray.
