Critter Details

Meet Mickey, the little miniature pinscher x chihuahua mix! Mickey came to the Shelter after his previous family was unable to continue caring for him and wanted to find him a great home. Mickey has lived with other dogs around his size (and larger) and got along. He also would meet dogs out on walks and enjoyed saying hello. He has some experience with a cat that lived outdoors and coexisted. Kids 5 and older would come to visit at Mickeyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s previous home and he did great with them. Mickey has been a bit nervous here but we anticipate that after a transition to his adoptive home, he will relax and settle in. Mickey primarily lived outdoors in his previous home so he is still perfecting house training. Client services staff can give adopters some tips on ways to start off potty training in his new home at adoption!Now through February 15th, all adoption fees are reduced to $33 – come to the Shelter today to adopt your very own Valentine!The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering â&#194&#128&#194&#156Pawsitivity Bucksâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 with every dog adoption.
