WYLIE

My story

Wylie is ready to party, hit the trails, take a stroll on the beach, run a marathon, do your taxes, or ride a roller coaster. Well, maybe not the last two, but he certainly has a ton of potential and a go-getter attitude! Wylie was in our care once as a young puppy, and went to an adoptive home that got him started with some obedience training and leash training. A home with another confident, playful dog would likely be great fit for Wylie to help him gain confidence in new situations adn give him an outlet for his ample energy. Adopters are expected to commit to positive reinforcement training to help Wylie continue to blossom in new situations as well as learn life skills, and a credentialed local trainer is already lined up to help with some free sessions! If you want an active, playful adventuring companion for you and/or an existing canine friend, come get to know Wylie! Wylie`s adoption fee is sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation thanks to “Leave No One Behind fund” – designed to adopter’s eyes towards animals who have been in the Shelter’s care a little longer than average waiting for the right adopter. 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.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt WYLIE, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
