Male Dog, German Shepherd Dog

German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (Medium Coat)

Description:

Augustus came to us as a stray, roaming around with her two brothers, Wonka and Violet. We aren't sure what these three are mixed with, but we suspect they will be Extra-Large shepherd mixes. Augustus walks well on a leash, and we are looking forward to matching her with a home who is as excited about life as he is. He may do well in a home with another confident dog provided they meet here at the shelter. 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.
