Meet Jonas

Meet Jonas, the black and tan terrier mix puppy. Jonas arrived to the Shelter as a stray so we don't know much about his life before now. He arrived with some scabs or abrasions on his skin. Our medical team has been keeping an eye on them to see how they heal. Jonas can be a little nervous (likely overwhelmed by the Shelter environment) but will likely blossom in his home environment. A home with another dog may be a fit after a meet and greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Jonas with children or cats. Jonas is still perfecting life skills and manners like potty training, leash walking and age appropriate socialization. Jonas 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.
