Meet Clara the young bully mix. Clara came to the shelter after a good samaritan found her roaming all alone by herself. Clara is a puppy so she will need an adopter willing to dedicate their time to helping her grow. Puppy training includes lots of elements, with patience and time being a large part of it. Since arriving, Clara has proved to be an energetic & playful dog mixed with a docile side. We do not have any family history on her, but it is likely she will grow into a medium to large sized dog. Clara is available for preadoption at this time. Come into the Shelter, meet her, fall in love and take her home after her spay surgery! 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.
