Capitola, CA

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi There: My friend and her daughter are needing to re-home their dogs in order to continue to afford to live in Santa Cruz county. The cost of housing is skyrocketing and rentals have been more scarce. Having two dogs has proven to be an unscalable obstacle for a now single mom. The dogs are sisters and must stay together. I am helping my friend with re-homing, as you can imagine, it is so very difficult for them to choose between their family dogs and continuing to live in their community. They have been raised in a family home with plenty of backyard. They are cuddly and sweet, but will definitely let you know if a visitor or prowler is about. Brooklyn and Margot are great companions they enjoy taking walks and hikes with their family and do well on leash. They are good listeners, love to play fetch and will sit and lay down upon command.

Larry

Wheaten Terrier

Capitola, CA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Larry is a very special dog. He loves to hike and play. He is very loving. He can go for walks without a leash if permitted. He is about 7 -8 years old. He was rescued from the East Bay and was found wandering a road. He was rescued about 5 years ago. He does have a habit of chewing on his paws-- we believe it may be allergy related per his vet. He also has dry skin. He does shed a bit. Not out of hand. Larry is very affectionate and devoted to his family and plays well with others. He joined our home with an existing dog, Gizmo, about 5 years ago. They get along. Gizmo is 11 years old and not really adoptable due to age. The issue is that my husband and I are both near retirement and two dogs is bit too much to manage at this point. Larry would make a wonderful family dog. We don't know exactly what breed Larry is mixed with, but his Wheaten Terrier traits are obvious. We love Larry and our priority is to find the perfect home for him to thrive in.

ZEPHYR*

Border Collie

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

Santa Cruz, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Zephyr! Zephyr came to the Shelter as a stray so we do not have much history about her life outside the Shelter. She was originally timid when first arriving to the Shelter but has relaxed and staff have observed a more social side to this gal. She has met other dogs at the Shelter and enjoys playing with them. Zephyr can be tactile in play so any resident dogs are recommended to enjoy a rough and tumble, physical play style. Any resident dogs are required to meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Zephyr will need above average mental and physical stimulation as she is a high energy dog. Adopters should anticipate committing to a positive reinforcement based training to work on life skills such as walking on leash, house training and thoughtful socialization with new people and animals. We do not have any history of Zephyr in a home with kids or cats.

ROCKY

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 7 mos

Santa Cruz, CA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Rocky! This wrinkly sweetheart came to the Shelter after his guardian was unable to continue caring for him. He has been an A+ resident at the Shelter since his arrival. He has been calm in his kennel, easy to walk on leash and playful in the yard. Staff have observed that he is very affectionate. Rocky lived with two cats in his most recent home and did well with them. A home with dog-savvy cats and a slow introduction may be a fit! He enjoyed playing with dogs in his previous home and has met dogs at the Shelter. A home with a canine companion may be a fit but dogs are recommended to meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Rocky is known to try to give people kisses. Rocky would do well in a variety of homes and is ready to be someone’s sidekick. Could that be you?

NALA

Belgian Tervuren

Female, 4 yrs 8 mos

Santa Cruz, CA

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Nala! Nala came to the Shelter as an owner surrender after her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. She came into the Shelter with another dog, Palomo. Nala has lived in a home with children ages 6 years and older and has done well. She sometimes would jump up on the kids with exuberance so a home with sturdy kids is recommended. Nala previously was outdoors only and did not go for walks off the property. Because of this, she is undersocialized with new environments and new dogs. Nala can be reactive with new dogs. A home with a dog another dog-savvy dog may be a fit with a slow, thoughtful introduction and management. Nala has a history of chasing cats so a home without cats and/or small animals is recommended. Nala has shown the ability to scale and jump over 6 foot fences during her time at the Shelter. Because of this, adopters should be mindful not to leave Nala unattended outdoors to prevent any attempts at escaping. Daily physical and mental stimulation will also help to set Nala up for success.
