Sammy's Story

Weight: 18lbs<br/><br/>Meet Sammy. Sammy is a ~2 year old Chihuahua mix who is searching for a calm, patient, and experienced home where she can truly feel safe. New people can be overwhelming for her, and she does best when introductions are slow, predictable, and on her terms. As she’s grown more confident, Sammy has shown us that clear boundaries and gentle handling are very important to her.<br/><br/>Once she knows you and feels secure, Sammy can be incredibly sweet, loyal, and loving. She’s the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and thrives with consistency. Sammy will need behavioral support, ongoing training, and multiple meet-and-greets to ensure a successful match, as well as an adopter who is committed to using positive reinforcement and giving her the time she needs to build trust.<br/><br/>If you’re someone who enjoys helping a dog grow and blossom and are open to putting in the work, Sammy could be a truly rewarding companion. To learn more about Sammy and what she’ll need in her new home, please call our adoptions desk—we’d love to help see if she’s the right fit for you. We're open Tues-Sun 11am-5pm.

Santa Cruz SPCA's Adoption Policy
The first step is to fill out an application on our website. Petfinder inquiries are not considered an application. Adoptions are conducted on a best-match basis. If we feel you are a great match for an animal you have applied for, we will reach out to you regarding the next steps to adoption. • If you're interested in a pet: Visit our website and fill out an application. We will send an auto-reply email with what to expect and be in touch if we will be moving forward in the process with you. Please be patient and understand response times are currently a bit lengthy. We cannot expedite the process if you call and email to follow up. * Dogs can have meet-and-greets and dog-to-dog meetings, however, we are unable to do so with cats. Kittens and puppies are not eligible for the 7-day foster-to-adopt trial periods, but adult cats and dogs are. Trials are at the discretion of staff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Check out adoptable dogs and cats on our website: spcasc.org • Complete the "Adoption Profile" Once you’ve found a well-matched furry friend, please complete our Adoption Profile form on our website. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. - It’s important that any current canine companions enjoy your new friend as much as you do. We facilitate dog-to-dog introductions outside our main shelter, on leash. For your own dog’s safety, we ask that you do not bring him or her into the shelter. If we move forward with your application and you apply for a dog and already have one, you will be asked to bring your current dog to meet your new potential dog to do a meet-and-greet.
