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!

Story

Meet Duffy! This 2-year-old handsome guy came to us as a stray. He has allowed all handling, but does show signs of being possessive of higher-value items, such as chews. His dog interaction skills are okay — He has met a few males and females and does better with the females. He is still in our evaluation process, but we do feel that an owner experienced with Akitas would be best for him. If you would like more information about Duffy or would like to meet him, please contact: Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA 1450 Rollins Road Burlingame, CA. 94010 650-340-7022 phs-spca.org adoptinquire@peninsulahumanesociety.org Adoption Hours: 11am to 5pm, 7 days a week (This listing is to help assist direct placements of rescues that are currently with other rescue groups, shelters or their current owners.

Story

Kuma is a male Akita Mix that is about one to two years old. He still squats to pee! He is such a sweet boy with a happy-go-lucky temperament and medium energy. He has shown to do well with other dogs big and small. He is playful when they want to play and takes social cues well. He is very well-mannered. Kuma loves to do tricks for treats, go for walks, and get all the pets and attention he can. Our shelter is overflowing and we are having to double/triple up on kennels. Kuma is in desperate need to find his positive outcome. Please let us know if you can help this sweet boy!

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?

Story

**COURTESY REHOMING POST** Koda is not a CACC dog. We have not met him nor evaluated him and can't attest to his health or temperament. Please use the contact information listed to reach out and learn more. Meet 3 year old Koda, a big, handsome, 80-pound Husky with an even bigger heart! He and his younger brother, Lupin, are looking for a new forever home together. Though their family sadly can no longer keep them, these two boys have been very loved and cared for—and it shows. Koda is the ultimate “gentle giant.” He’s a cuddly lovebug who will happily melt into your arms, but he also has a silly side that keeps everyone smiling. One minute he’s a happy couch potato snoozing by your side, and the next he’s bouncing with energy, ready to join an active family adventure. He loves kids, is friendly with other dogs, and greets new people like they’re already his best friends. Truly, he’s the kind of dog who fits right into family life. Together, Koda and Lupin are a dynamic duo full of love and comfort for each other—and for their people. Koda is also wonderfully food-motivated, which makes him easy (and fun!) to train. He’s crate trained (during the day), fully house trained, neutered, and up to date on all his vaccinations. Play time with Koda means zoomies, chasing balls, and plenty of laughs. The only time he really “talks” is when he’s asking politely to go outside or reminding you it’s dinnertime. At the end of the day, he’s all sweetness and love, waiting to snuggle in. Koda and Lupin are a ready-made pair of joy just waiting to bring love, laughter, and adventure to their forever family. If you’re ready for double the fun and twice the cuddles, these two darling boys can’t wait to meet you! For more information please contact Charlotte at ctmstary@yahoo.com.

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

**Note: currently, Saenan is in Korea. but he will fly to SF once he is adopted. Background Beautiful Saenan was rescued from a city pound in Sangju, Korea, last winter. Since then, he’s been living safely at our partner boarding house, sharing his days with other rescue dogs. Personality & Socialization Saenan is a happy, bright boy with a big heart. He loves to play with other dogs. Especially those who enjoy running and chasing just like him. Being a Husky, he’s full of energy and joy, and outdoor playtime is truly his favorite part of the day. When it comes to other dogs, Saenan has been very sociable and well-mannered. He spends most of his time with dogs around his size, and he’s always comfortable and loving in their company. He gets along easily and enjoys being part of the group. Saenan is also very affectionate and friendly with people, men, women, and even new faces. He warms up quickly to anyone who shows him kindness and loves being close to his humans. Behaviours Saenan has been an easygoing dog since joining our adoption program. He rides well in the car, does fine during baths and vet visits, and follows his human’s lead nicely. He doesn’t bark excessively and enjoys a calm, happy routine. After his outdoor play sessions, he relaxes quietly and enjoys cuddling or resting beside his friends. Saenan walks well on leash and hasn’t shown destructive behaviors. Health & Diet When rescued, Saenan was treated for heartworm and has made a full recovery. He is now healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. He’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on monthly parasite prevention. He eats dry food twice a day and has shown no allergies. Ideal Home Saenan would do best with someone familiar with the Husky breed. Ideally, a family who understands their energy and exercise needs. He would love a home with another friendly, playful dog around his size to keep him company and share his adventures. An active person or family who enjoys outdoor activities would be a perfect match for him. Saenan is very loyal, smart, and loving, whoever welcomes him home will be very lucky to have such a faithful companion. ---------------------------- For more info about the dog or the adoption agreement, please submit your link. https://www.freekoreandogs.org/dog/saenan/
