Critter Details

Meet Toddy, a sweet Pug-weiler (pug x Rottweiler mix) pup. Toddy and her siblings came to the Shelter after a good Samaritan was trying to help their previous guardian to care for them but ultimately knew they needed safe, adoptive homes. Toddy is one of four pups in the litter. She is a typical social, goofy puppy. We anticipate Toddy will be a large sized dog but are not sure exactly how big. Typical to puppies, Toddy is still perfecting life skills and manners such as potty training and leash walking. She will thrive with an adopter who will be patient with her in the transition and use positive reinforcement based training to encourage and guide appropriate behaviors as she grows. Toddy is in a foster home with her sibling Tea. The foster reports: â&#194&#128&#194&#156They’re doing great! She’s really playful and a little mischievous in a really fun and cute way! He’s just so mellow and affectionate and also interested in knowing where she is all the time. They slept through the night in the crate and have been hanging out on the deck and even had a little bath! Love having them!â&#194&#128&#194&#157The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering â&#194&#128&#194&#156Pawsitivity Bucksâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 with every dog adoption.
