Story
Looks like: Akita mix Female, 10 years old (estimated), 56 pounds 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. Big and beautiful 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. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly.

Story
Hello! My name is Cookie Dough, and I'm just a floof with a silly streak, waiting to meet you! Did you notice my super cute bear-like face? It's one of my best characteristics! I'm still a young adult, so my ideal home is with someone who is big dog savvy, who can continue to teach me proper manners. I'd also love someone who has the time and energy to keep me active...exercise is great for both my brain and my body. Do I sound like a good match for you? Ask about me, and we can find out! Primary Color: Orange Roan Weight: 72.4 Age: 2yrs 0mths 0wks

Husky

Female, 5 yrs 7 mos
Santa Cruz, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Luna is the perfect mix of playful and chill. Although she`s lived with children under 12 years old and teenagers, she`s been a little sensitive for some handling while at the shelter, so a home without young children may be better. She`s friendly with strangers and her favorite activity is to play ball. Luna knows “sit” already and would love to keep learning her life skills and manners through positive reinforcement based training. Luna lived in a home with a chihuahua previously. Meeting dogs at the Shelter, Luna has been particular about how she wants to interact. She may thrive as the only pup or with a very savvy dog in a home. Any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Her next home is recommended to be small animal and cat free.

Story
Meet Bella. This gorgeous husky girl came to the Shelter from a loving family who could no longer care for her. She spent a lot of time outdoors in her previous home and may make a great adventure buddy for someone who enjoys camping and hiking. Previously, Bella lived with another dog and got along well. At the Shelter, she has met with and solicited play from different sized pups. Bella also has experience living with a 3 year old child. Staff have observed that Bella is very people oriented and easy going. Bella’s previous guardians report that she rides nicely in the car.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Gorgeous Kona has lived in a home with 4 other dogs of all sizes, and 2 cats. He got along with all of them, even though the other dogs would bark at him or avoid him. He was very curious with the cats, but never chased them. He`d do well in a home with other animals, especially well in a home when his people were able to be with him quite a bit. Since he`s only lived in one home before now, he may need some confidence building and clear structure in his new home. Positive reinforcement training would be great for Kona and will help him form a bond with his new family, while he learns more basic manners. Kona`s adoption fee has been sponosored by a generous donor and he`s neutered and ready for a chance in a new home and family!
