Story
Looks like: Akita mix Female, 11 years old (estimated), 62 pounds Jabulani, lovingly nicknamed Jabu for short, is a sweet girl looking to affectionately nuzzle her way into your heart. This precious girl absolutely adores being in the company of her human companions. She greets everyone she meets with a curly tailed tail wag and lots of slobbery kisses. She also makes sure to show off her agile spins and funny vocalizations to wow her new friends. She is an energetic and active pup that would love to go for long walks, spend some time playing fetch in the yard, training using positive reinforcement methods, and enjoying a nice food puzzle. Jabu is also a gold medalist at tug-of-war and an expert in squeaky toys. Big and beautiful Jabu prefers to be the apple of her person's eye, for this reason she would be perfectly happy as a solo dog. This elegant and refined young lady would prefer a home without tiny little hands as she enjoys her space after meals and that can be hard for kiddos to understand. Jabu really loves her people and can be heard whining and complaining when left at home alone. With some support from our behavior team you should be able to work through her very mild separation anxiety.Overall, Jabu is a smart and bouncy girl, spinning around when she gets excited and even loves exploring the beach and dipping her paws in the ocean with her humans. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly.

Story
Meet Bear, the Akita mix! Bear came to the Shelter after his previous guardian was unable to continue caring for him. He lived in a home with other dogs and really enjoyed their company. At the Shelter, staff have incorporated Bear into playgroups and report that he really seems to enjoy the interaction – doing big goofy play bows and romping around with his canine friends. A home with another dog would likely be a great enrichment to Bear’s life. When first meeting people, Bear can be a bit cautious (this can be fairly typical of the breed so we definitely recommend doing some research prior to adoption). But with time and patience, Bear warms up – knows sit, gives small kisses and walks nicely on leash. In his previous home, Bear spent a lot of time outdoors so he may need some patience in the transition into indoor living. His previous guardian reports that he is a curious dog who is treat motivated and loves to run. Bear has lived with cats and may do well with dog-savvy cats provided there is a thoughtful, slow introduction. He loves riding in the car and putting his head out the window to smell the fresh air. Bear would thrive with a dog savvy adopter and in a home that is lower traffic and/or in a quieter neighborhood (think country living!). 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.
