Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Has 'Overload' Of Big Dogs

Press release from SCCAS:

Jan. 4, 2022

The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter (SCCAS) is experiencing an overload of adoptable large dogs at their shelter and are seeking forever homes. Adopting out animals helps open up space at their open admission shelter for other animals that need Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter’s help. To encourage more animal adoptions, the adoption price for all dogs over 50 lbs. will be $50 through Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2022!

There are so many reasons to adopt from the Shelter. One of the best is that shelter animals make great pets. Many have already lived with a human family and have the basic training, socialization and cooperative skills they need to become part of your household.

Shelter animals are also quite a bargain since their fees include spay/neuter, microchip (including registration), age-appropriate vaccinations, routine treatment for fleas/worms, and a free pet wellness exam with local participating veterinarians.

Adoption is one of the main services Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter offers to our community, and it is a cooperative labor of love with our adopters. SCCAS appreciates and applauds people who make the life saving decision to adopt a homeless animal!

So, come on over to visit Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter’s adoptable animals, and be prepared to fall in love! For more information and to view adoptable animals, please visit our shelter location at 1001 Rodriguez St. (Rodriguez St. and 7th Ave.) in Santa Cruz and visit our website www.scanimalshelter.org.
