ious guardian became homeless and was unable to continue caring for him. Draco briefly lived with a small dog in a prior home and, after a period of transition, got along with it. At the Shelter, he has met dogs and did an appropriate greeting of sniffing butts and then disengaging. His previous guardian does report that he was attacked by a dog previously which has resulted in some reactivity to dogs out in the world. We have not seen this at the Shelter, but he has only been here for a short time. Adopters should plan on avoiding high traffic dog areas (like West Cliff and dog parks), especially while Draco decompresses from the Shelter and transitions to the home. Draco has not lived indoors with cats but has coexisted with outdoor cats from a distance on a ranch. A home with a feline friend may be a fit with a slow, thoughtful introduction. He also has history around children but preferred older children who would respect his space. He is house trained and would let his guardian know he has go to potty by going to the door. Draco is a brachycephalic dog (a short nosed dog). His future guardians should be familiar with the medical concerns related to brachycephalic dogs and have the resources (time, finances, etc) to address any long-term care of lifestyle modifications that he needs after adoption. Draco 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.

  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.
