Story
Meet Cricket, the rat terrier mix. Cricket has been described by staff as quiet, social and wiggly when interacting with. She is easy to leash up and take out on adventures in nature. When not sniffing around or walking – Cricket comes up to her person and solicits pets. When meeting other dogs of various sizes and sexes at the Shelter, Cricket has engaged in some mutual sniffing to get to know them and then hangs out in the fenced in yard with them and, if the chemistry is right, engages in some bouncy play! From March 10th to March 17th, this dog’s adoption fee is reduced to $50 during the Get Lucky Adoption Special.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
Looks like: Rat Terrier, Chihuahua mix Female, 7 years old (estimated), 9 pounds Harley may only have one eye, but she's not letting that slow her down! This spunky girl has an incredibly fun-loving attitude and is always ready for playtime, snuggle time, dinner time, and every time in between! She's really so much fun! She greets every adventure with the sweetest wagging tail. Her perfect day would be going for a nice stroll, playing with her pals, tossing around her favorite squeaky toy, and snoozing the afternoon away in your lap. Harley specifically really loves rough housing with larger sized dogs! Though Harley is a wonderful pup, her ideal home would be child free as she can be easily startled by the tiny humans. She loves dogs but being that she's a queen bee she prefers to share her home with the submissive type. Harley is also searching for patient adopter that is willing to give her time to settle into her new home as the transition from foster to her new forever home can be quite stressful. This sweet girl joined us after she was brought into Hitchcock Road Animal Services as a stray in serious need of medical care for a prolapsed eye.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Looks like: Rat Terrier mix Female, 13 years old (estimated), 10 pounds This precious little lady has really blossomed since going to her foster home. Her foster reports that she has been an absolute pleasure to have around and is surprised everyday that she has not yet been adopted. Some of her favorite things include napping the day away, going for slow sniff walks where she can truly stop and smell the roses, and greeting new canine friends politely on leash. She sleeps like an angel in her open door crate or comfy dog bed. Lavender does great with other pups and is very fond of the dogs in her foster home. She has had a dental that has left her with 5 healthy teeth so she mostly eats soft or wet food. This sweet girl joined us from the Santa Cruz County Animal Services so we could address her medical needs.

Story
Ginny  is super sweet and playful, especially with other dogs. She's a little skittish at first and takes a little while to warm up, but once she's comfortable with you, she is sweet, a champion snuggler, and an all-around great companion. Energy Level?  Medium House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash. Does well on a leash. Likes to stop and smell all the smells. Describe how they are with other dogs?     Ginny plays nice with other dogs and has lived with other dogs; however, she would do well as your one and only.   She loves all the attention. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  Ginny has been in home with a dog-savvy cat and did very well. Commands they know?  She comes when called.  What are their favorite things?  Playing with other dogs, chewing on toys and treats, and snuggling with her people. She also enjoys being outside and exploring our backyard. What do they need to work on?   Ginny  is still learning what's okay and not okay to chew. She'll need lots of toys that are safe for chewing and some patience and understanding while she figures it out.  How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  She has been alone for up to 8 hours and has been okay. She may howl briefly as we leave but then quiets down. She is generally happy in her crate and has a good view of all her foster fur siblings. Where do they sleep?  In a small crate in our bedroom. She sleeps well through the night and enjoys a morning snuggle in our bed when there's time. What is their ideal home?   Ginny 's perfect home includes at least one other similarly-sized dog because doggy playtime is her favorite thing. She'll need a family who can give her some time and space to get comfortable, as she can be pretty skittish initially. She'll also need patience as she learns what's okay to chew and what's not. Once she's comfortable with you and all settled in, she is an excellent companion and will reward you with epic snuggles and much love. Ginny should be in an adult only home.

Story
Hi, I’m Jackson! I’m a fun loving, toy obsessed pup who can’t get enough of playtime. From squeaky toys to balls, I’m always ready for a game of fetch or tug of war. When I’m not playing, I love snuggling up with my humans for some cozy cuddle time. I’m looking for a home where I can share all my love and energy. If you’re looking for a playful companion who’s all about toys and fun, I might just be the one for you!
