Description:
Meet Jasper, the Shepherd! This adolescent guy came to the Shelter as a stray so we donât know much about his life before now. Staff report that he is gentle and affectionate. He has been quiet in his kennel, easy to leash up and walk to the yard for play time. He loves to play fetch. Jasper has been friendly and curious when seeing other dogs through the fence. A resident canine friend may be a fit after a meet ân greet at the Shelter!The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ 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 locationâs 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 âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd 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.
