Story

Lenny is a gentle giant. He is 11 yrs old and 85lbs. Lenny comes from a loving home, but, unfortunately his care taker has become ill and is no longer able to care for him. This senior lived happily in an apartment with a small female dog, but, we are unsure if he gets along with males. He is currently loving the yard at his foster home and spends his days inside and outside, snoozing in the sun. He is a mellow fellow. If you have a yard, no walks are needed. Lenny is a serene companion who will bring warmth and comfort to your home.

Story

Meet Oreo, the pittie mix. Oreo came into the Shelter after his previous guardian was unable to continue caring for him. He lived in a home with two small breed dogs and a family. Oreo has been interested in interacting with staff and volunteers since his arrival. He is often at his kennel door with a softly wagging tail, ready to say hi to any approaching visitor. He met a large breed female dog (Suzie) and enjoyed her company. A home with another dog may be a fit after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Oreo with children or other species of animals. Oreo does have some skin issues that he is being treated for by our clinic staff with oral and topical treatments. He may not win the “best hair” superlative at this time but we are aiming for “most improved” in a few weeks after his treatments start to help his skin feel and look better. We are not entirely sure what the cause of his skin issues are but the pattern is common to allergies (especially to fleas) with a secondary skin infection. Adopters will need to plan on working with their veterinarian closely after adoption to help Oreo’s skin continue to improve, as we do anticipate that the condition is chronic and will require lifelong management. Our clinic team can provide more information to any potential adopters about Oreo and his current medical status. If you are looking to adopt a dog that is a bit of a diamond in the ruff, consider coming to meet Oreo today!Oreo`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a good samaritan!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

Lovey Dovey lives up to her name and is looking for a forever home with a cozy lap to snuggle. She has been living happily in a foster home with a resident senior dog and two adult humans:“Dovey brings lots of joy and laughter into our home with her sweet nature and goofy personality. She starts each day giving our dog kisses and greets us with beautiful songs, hugs and more kisses. We work full time and shes fine being left alone to roam free in the house. At the end of the day she welcomes us back with more jubilance and at night becomes the dog equivalent of a weighted blanket cuddling on the couch. She does great on car rides and is potty trained via walks and yard breaks. She gets excited for walks and is very strong on leash with a drive towards squirrels. She gets amped about fetch and destroying stuffies so sometimes we need to help her set limits. Though she’s a lively 11, she does enjoy her senior moments too like an afternoon snooze in a dog bed or sun bathing in the yard. Dovey was restless in the shelter kennel and does not like to be contained in kennels, behind baby gates, or behind closed bedroom doors. If you’re ready for endless love and affection this big lap dog is the girl for you.”Dovey is selective with her dog friends (liking some but not others). This is common as dogs age. Adopters should be mindful that she may not enjoy high traffic dog areas like dog parks or dog beaches. Any resident dogs should meet prior to adoption to see how the two get along. Dovey`s adoption fee has been sponsored by teh 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!Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week!

Her perfect match will: Be an adult-only or older-teen household Be committed to continued training and structure Understand that slow introductions set her up for success Want a loving, loyal companion who forms a deep bond A Note about Adoption Events: While Maple loves to meet new folks one on one, Adoption Events can be too chaotic and unpredictable for this sensitive girl.
