stitch

Meet Stitch, the cream and tan terrier mix. Stitch came into the Shelter with some other dogs after their previous guardians were unable to continue caring for them. Although initially reserved, Stitch has warmed up with time and patience. Out in the yards with familiar people, he shows his softer side and leans in for pets. When meeting other dogs, he will quietly engage. A home with another dog may be a fit after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Stitch in a home with cats or children. On Saturday, October 31st, the Shelter is celebrating Halloween through an “Adopt Your Boo” special. This dog’s adoption fee is reduced to $31.Stitch is available for pre-adoption. Come meet him, fall in love and take him home after his neuter surgery. 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.
