Critter Details

Meet Jack! This lab mix puppy is looking for an active family to call his own. Named after the popular Nightmare before Christmas movie, these cuties are ready to celebrate the Spooky holiday with you! He arrived with his two siblings Sally and Zero and although he has enjoyed her time playing with them, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s ready to be someoneâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s not-so-little Prince. Jack is food motivated and would thrive in an adoptive home that will work with him through positive reinforcement based training to help him harness life skills and manners such as potty training and crate training. Typical to puppies â&#194&#128&#194&#147 Jack is a bit of a busy body and enjoys play, sniffaris, and food toys to channel his puppy energy for good. Jack may enjoy a home with a canine friend but any residents should come by to speed date to see that the beginning of their relationship gets off on the right paw. We donâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t have any history with cats but a dog savvy cat and a slow, thoughtful introduction may be a fit. Jack’s adoption fee is sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation thanks to â&#194&#128&#194&#156Leave No One Behind fundâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 â&#194&#128&#194&#147 designed to adopterâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s eyes towards animals who have been in the Shelterâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s care a little longer than average waiting for the right adopter.The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering â&#194&#128&#194&#156Pawsitivity Bucksâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 with every dog adoption.
