My name is RISOTTO*!

Meet Lobster!
-3-ish month old mixed breed (Bulldog x Staffie is our guess!)
-Expected to be a large dog (mom is 70lbs and dad is 120lbs!)
-Lived outdoors in previous home so adopters will need to be patient in the transition of them living indoors
-History living with children ages 2 to 5 years old
-Likely not house trained and will need to work on other life skills and manners (think being left alone/crate training, walking on leash, potty training)
-Adopters should plan on positive reinforcement training and management to help these puppies acclimate to their new home. They are not house trained and are still learning various life skills and manners. With time, treats and toys – we anticipate that they will learn modern day dog skills to prepare them for adulthood
-Have met other dogs and are a little cautious but with a slow introduction and managed interactions, could live with a resident pup
-No history with cats

Now through December 23rd – the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter is hosting “Home for the Holidays”. This adoption event reduces the adoption fee for all cats, rabbits and dogs to $50.

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.
