OZZIE*

Meet Ozzie, the adolescent Chihuahua Basenji mix. Ozzie came to the Shelter with his “sister” Harriet (who has already been adopted!). We don’t know much about his life before the Shelter as he was a stray. Staff have observed that although a little worried, he is a gentle guy who warms up to people. Ozzie has met a variety of other small sized dogs and has been quiet and amiable. We do not have any history of Ozzie with cats or children. 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.
