About Jefferson* (German Shepherd) in Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Jefferson* is waiting for you at Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter in Santa Cruz, CA 95062. Meet Jefferson, the Shepherd mix. Jefferson arrived to the Shelter as a stray so we don’t know much about his life beforehand. Jefferson has been observed to be a strong dog, but friendly. Jefferson has made friends with an adolescent female husky (Bandit) at the Shelter and enjoyed playing with her. A home with another dog may be a match made in heaven (after some speed dating at the Shelter). We do not have any history of Jefferson with felines or children. Jefferson is available for pre-adoption. Come meet him, fall in love and take him home after his neuter surgery. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw!Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them
