Meet Dash

Meet Dash, the pug mix. Dash arrived to the Shelter as a stray so we don’t know much about his life before now. Although a bit quiet and timid upon arrival, he turned into a fairly cuddly, engaging dog as staff got to know him. He now goes out with a variety of volunteers for walks and enrichment. Dash has been introduced to a variety of dogs (different sexes, sizes and ages) and has done well. A home with another dog may be a fit after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Dash with children or cats. Dash 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.
