CUBBI* - QUEENSLAND HEELER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Queensland Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Cubbi, the herding breed mix puppy. Cubbi came into the Shelter with is friend Gruffi (an 8 month old pittie mix guy) as strays. They could be adopted together for adopter looking to adopt two dogs! Cubbi is a social, outgoing pup. Typical to his breed and age, he can be very mouthy. This means that when interacting with people, he will put his mouth on their clothing or skin. Puppy teeth are very sharp and prone to breaking skin on people during times of excitement and high arousal. This can be scary for young children or people inexperienced with dogs. Cubbi is looking for an adopter who will have lots of things to redirect his eager puppy spirt (and teeth) to like toys and chews. Bonding with Cubbi through positive reinforcement based training as well as physical and mental stimulation on a daily basis will help channel is zest to good. Cubbi may do well in a home with another dog after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. A home with older, dog-savvy children is recommended due to Cubbi’s mouthing behavior. Any felines in the home should be introduced in a slow, thoughtful manner. Cubbi 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.
