Story
Meet Peepo, the Grey Pyrenees! This big guy came to the Shelter with some other dogs after their previous guardian was unable to continue caring for them. Peepo was a working dog in a ranch with a couple of other dogs. He has been around a variety of farm animals and may thrive as a livestock guardian dog in his next home. He has been outdoors with other dogs (herding breeds) and does not have experience indoors. A companion animal home may be in his future but adopters may need to be patient in Peepo’s transition to indoor living with things like potty training and other “house rules”. Staff have observed that Peepo has been calm and quiet in his kennel. When out in the yards with other dogs, he lounges and relaxes. Peepo has lived with other dogs and has made friends with other dogs since arriving at the Shelter. A home with canine companions may be a fit. 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 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. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption.
