Dog Breed: Cane Corso Mastiff (medium coat). Meet Turbo, the Cane Corso! This big, brindle guy came to the Shelter after his previous home just wasn’t the right fit. Turbo was in a home with

another large breed dog who he enjoyed playing with but sometimes the play would get too rough resulting in some conflict between the dogs. We understand that sometimes, two dogs just aren’t the right fit of living with each other. So Turbo came back to the Shelter to find another home that would be a b better fit. We learned a lot about him from his previous guardian during his time in that home. Turbo’s favorite activity is running as fast as he can. He is friendly with people but sometimes jumps on them when excited. He knows “sit”, “shake” and “lie down”. He enjoyed spending most of his time outdoors and living on a property that was enclosed acreage previously but can jump fences that are under 6 feet tall. Turbo is a big, strong dog. He would thrive with an adopter who is savvy with extra large breed dogs and has the management to keep Turbo contained and stimulated. Turbo may do well in a home with a well-matched dog, provided there is a slow, thoughtful introduction and management. Or, he may be happiest as the only pup. A home free of felines or small critters would be best as Turbo has been observed to have some prey drive. 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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
