Story

Jabulani, lovingly nicknamed Jabu for short, is a sweet girl looking to affectionately nuzzle her way into your heart! This precious girl absolutely adores being in the company of her human companions. She greets everyone she meets with a curly tailed tail wag and lots of slobbery kisses. She also makes sure to show off her agile spins and funny vocalizations to wow her new friends. She is an energetic and active pup that would love to go for long walks, spend some time playing fetch in the yard, training using positive reinforcement methods, and enjoying a nice food puzzle. Jabu is also a gold medalist at tug-of-war and an expert in squeeky toys. You can see Jabu in action in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j9ZpmzAYeRg Petite and beautiful at 62 pounds and 11 years, Jabu prefers to be the apple of her person's eye, for this reason she would be perfectly happy as a solo dog. This elegant and refined young lady would prefer a home without tiny little hands as she enjoys her space after meals and that can be hard for kiddos to understand. Jabu really loves her people and can be heard whining and complaining when left at home alone. With some support from our behavior team you should be able to work through her very mild separation anxiety.Overall, Jabu is a smart and bouncy girl, spinning around when she gets excited and even loves exploring the beach and dipping her paws in the ocean with her humans. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly. Are you interested in learning more about Jabulani?

Story

My name is Nike and I am a spayed female, black and white Akita and Siberian Husky. The shelter staff think I am about 1 year and 10-months old. I have been at the shelter since January 15, 2026 Meet Nike, the Akita Siberian Husky Mix! Nike arrived at the Shelter by no fault of her own – her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. Nike has been described as energetic and friendly with people. She enjoys going for walks and runs. She’s lived with children ages 5, 8 and 9 years of age as well as teenagers and did well with them. She was crated when left alone for a few hours and was eager to reconnect with her family when they came home. Nike is a smart cookie and comes with a whole vocabulary of things she knows including: “sit”, “lay down”, “high five”, “shake”, “wait”, “slow down”, and “come here”. She would love to work her brain with her new family (and bond through positive reinforcement based training. Nike enjoys riding in the car on her way to adventures. She can be selective in her dog friends (liking some but not others) so if there are any resident dogs in the home, it would be recommended they meet prior to adoption. Nike's adoption fee has been sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation's Leave No One Behind fund - a fund that draws adopter's eyes towards animals that have been waiting a little bit longer than average for the right adopters to come along and bring them home. 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! Nike’s Animal ID is A327886 For more information about Nike or to meet her, please contact: Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter 1001 Rodriguez Street Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831-454-7200 www.scanimalshelter.org Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11am to 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

My name is Aries and I am a spayed, female, black and white Akita. The shelter staff think I am about 9-months old. I have been at the shelter since Feb 02, 2026. Aries came into the Shelter by no fault of her own – her previous guardian was having financial instability and was unable to give Aries the care they know she deserves. Staff have observed that Aries has a bubbly outgoing energy. Aries is an adolescent who is still working on her life skills and manners. Sometimes her exuberance gets the best of her and results in some chewing of things that aren’t exactly meant for pups. Adopters should puppy-proof their house to prepare for taking home Aries as well as have lots of appropriate options for Aries to chew on and play with. She has met other dogs and enjoyed playing with them in her previous home, but has not lived with a pup. She does not have any history with felines. Aries was described as house trained in her previous home and would bark when she needed to go out. 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! Aries’ Animal ID is A328348 For more information about Aries or to meet her, please contact: Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter 1001 Rodriguez Street Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831-454-7200 www.scanimalshelter.org Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11am to 6pm, 7 days a week!

Story

Meet Emi Our Graceful Survivor Searching for Her Forever Home. For more than two long years, Emi has been patiently waiting for the day she can finally go home. That’s an incredible show of strength for any dog, but for a senior like Emi it’s pure resilience of heart and spirit. Once a beloved family companion, Emi has faced her time in rescue with quiet dignity and balance. Like the Yin and Yang she seems to embody, Emi has learned to find peace in the in-between, accepting her life in transition while still holding onto hope. Despite her time in care, Emi remains a radiant soul, endearing, mischievous, and deeply loving. She moves with grace and elegance, her beautiful brindle coat gleaming as she trots happily beside you on her short walks. She loves affection, engaging with her people and, of course crinkly toys and tasty treats! At around 10 years old, Emi still has that classic Akita spirit, a touch of independence and a sparkle of opinionated charm. She manages some mild arthritis with anti-inflammatories, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying playtime or soaking up sunshine in the yard. Emi would flourish in a home without other dogs or cats so she can shower you with all her love. What Emi needs most now is what every dog deserves: a soft place to land, a family to call her own, and the comfort of knowing she’s home at last. Please consider opening your heart and home to this extraordinary girl. Whether through adoption or as a permanent foster, you could be the one to give Emi the peace, love, and security she’s been waiting for all this time. She’s ready….she just needs someone to finally say, “Welcome home, Emi!” Interested in adopting?
