Meet Evie! This adorable little pup is as bright as she is lovable. Evie is a smart, playful, and friendly girl who’s always ready to make new friends. She has a natural curiosity about the world and loves exploring her surroundings with a wagging tail and happy energy. Evie is already showing off her impressive skills as a quick learner. She picks up on new things fast and is eager to please, which makes training a fun and rewarding experience. One of her favorite activities is playing fetch—she could chase her favorite toy all day and still be ready for more! Whether she’s romping around in the yard, learning new tricks, or snuggling up after a day of play, Evie brings joy wherever she goes. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with a bright future ahead, Evie might just be your perfect match! 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.
