Meet Malcolm, a young male terrier mix currently in Santa Cruz, CA. After being rescued by a good Samaritan, he found his way to the shelter when they could no longer care for him. Initially fearful, Malcolm has shown remarkable progress in building trust with people. He has been around children ages 7, 8, and 13, and he is curious about other dogs, though he may need some introductions with any resident canines at the shelter before adoption. We don’t have any information about how he behaves with cats. Malcolm is available for pre-adoption and will be ready for his new home after his neuter surgery. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation offers a $200 training voucher with his adoption, helping new pet parents connect with local trainers. Come meet him and see if you can win his heart! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
