Sparky (in foster)'s Story

Weight: 17lbs<br/><br/>Meet Sparky! Sparky is a 5-year-old Chihuahua mix who joined us from a partner shelter. While his background mostly unknown, his paperwork states that he came to them as an owner surrender, so we can assume that he has spent at least some time in a home environment. He has shown himself to be a pretty cool guy who enjoys getting out for walks and does great on a leash. Recently he went on a doggy-day-out with an awesome volunteer. Here is what they had to say about him: "Just a quick update on my DDO with Sparky. He was the best boy!! Calm, super easy in the car, a bit unsure at the beach, seems to not know about the ocean! He was interested in other dogs and children but no barking and did not approach, just observed them with ears up and wagging tail. He was super relaxed after the initial nervousness, very easy going dog."<br/><br/>Sparky is ready to find a home where he can settle in and enjoy the good life with a loving family. Call us to schedule a meet & greet with him! 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.
