About Trifecta* (Boston Terrier) in Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Trifecta* is waiting for you at Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter in Santa Cruz, CA 95062. Meet Trifecta – the boston terrier bulldog mix gal. Trifecta came to the Shelter as an injured stray with a fractured leg. Our medical team performed an amputation of the leg and monitored Trifecta during recovery. This sweetie pie is now ready for her adoptive home. Trifecta has been observed to be outgoing, friendly and easy to handle (even while she was not feeling good upon arrival to the Shelter). Even with three legs, she is still fairly high energy. Adopters should do some research on the ins-and-outs of supporting a tri-pod dog medically and behaviorally as it will likely require additional resources than the average dog. A home with other animals may be a fit provided any resident dogs meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. A slow introduction with any felines, if any in the home, is recommended as we do not have any history of Trifecta with felines. 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
