ADAM

My story

Meet Adam! This handsome mixed breed (our guess is Vizsla mixed with a couple other things) is a shy but oh so sweet guy. He came to us from a partnering Shelter. Adam is a young guy but, is understandably, shut down in a busy Shelter environment. Despite his nervous nature, he has been soft and endearing with staff and other easy-going dogs he has met at the Shelter. Adam would thrive in an adoptive home with a patient adopter who will give him the time and space to blossom. We anticipate that Adam will be a great adventure buddy and much more confident once he transitions into a stable, dog savvy adoptive home. Adam came from a home with quite a few other dogs and has attended playgroup during his Shelter stay. He is food motivated which will make positive reinforcement based training fun and a great way to bond with his new famiyl!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 ADAM, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
