TIMBER* - ALASKAN MALAMUTE / AKITA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Alaskan Malamute / Akita / Mixed (medium coat). Timber came to us from his previous family, where he was a loved family dog. He loves to be petted and stroked, loves belly rubs and cuddles, and really shines when he is around friendly people and dogs. In his previous home, Timber lived with two small dogs, a golden retriever, and young children. Timber knows `sit`, `paw` and `two paws` in English and Spanish. You read that right, Timber is bilingual! He has spent some time in a home with a volunteer who reports `Timber was easy in the car. He mostly just laid down in the area behind the driver's and passenger's seats. He got in the car easily. Timber warmed up easily to my husband and people we met on our walks. Anyone who wanted to say hi and pet him, he was all in. Timber is a very easy dog to walk with the freedom harness. He is definitely interested in squirrels, so be aware of that. He has a walk buddy at the shelter (Apollo) and has met many dogs in my neighborhood. Being a friendly dog himself, he likes friendly dogs.` Timber's adoption fee is sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation thanks to “Leave No One Behind fund” – designed to adopter’s eyes towards animals who have been in the Shelter’s care a little longer than average waiting for the right adopter. 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.
