Female Dog, Terrier

Terrier / Mixed (Medium Coat)

Description:

Meet Missy, the terrier mix puppy! We aren’t sure the exact breed mix but she look like a terrier. This pup came into the Shelter as an underage little cutie with three siblings. Missy spent a week in foster with her sister Pepper growing up to prepare for adoption. Her foster reports that the puppies are wiggling and loving. They are true little puppies and are perfecting life skills and manners like potty training and leash walking. 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.
