Meet Ruben, the 6 month old gray Pitbull! This energetic young pup is ready to take on the world. Ruben came to us as a stray, so we don’t have any previous history for him, but at the shelter is has proven himself to be a lovable and playful guy. Since Ruben is still young, he’s full of that puppy energy and will need lots of physical and mental stimulation in his new home. He will need some help learning skills like potty training, walking on a leash, and redirecting his mouth onto toys, but luckily he seems to be very food motivated! If you’re ready for a playful pup to jump into your life, come down and meet Ruben today! Ruben is available for preadoption—come meet him, fall in love, and take him home after his neuter surgery! 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.
