NINA - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Nina, the chihuahua mix! Nina came to the Shelter after her previous guardian was going through some medical troubles and was unable to continue caring for her. She arrived at the Shelter with another dog (Chita) whom she could go to a home with but is not required to be adopted with. She lived in a home previously with teens, women and seniors. Her previous guardian reports that she did well with children. She would take naps when left alone for a couple hours a day free roam and is pee-pad trained. Her favorite activities in her previous home were playing, running and sleeping. Along with living with Chita, Nina has been around two other dogs whom she enjoyed playing with. A home with a canine friend may be a fit in the future after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter, although she is reported to be nervous of large sized dogs. She has lived with dog-savvy felines and even shares a bed with them occasionally. She knows “sit” and “down” and does well riding in the car. 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.
