A323741
Located At: Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter - Santa Cruz
Description: My name is Snow and I am an unaltered female, fawn and white Chinese Sharpei.
Age: The shelter staff think I am about 2 years and 9 months old.
More Info: I have been at the shelter since Aug 06, 2025.
You may adopt me as soon as I am spayed or neutered!
Meet Snow, the adolescent Sharpei! Snow has had quite the glow-up since her arrival to the Shelter – initially reserved and avoidant. With time, patience and yummy snacks (she is VERY food motivated), Snow’s circle of friends expanded. She now goes out regularly with staff and volunteers and enjoys her outings. Snow’s previous guardians report that she was primarily indoors and potty trained. She lived with children ages 8 to 10 years old and did well. She enjoys playing with balls and going for walks. She has lived with a parakeet previously. Snow has history of having a dog friend in her previous home but during her stay at the Shelter, staff have observed that Snow is a bit conflicted in her interactions with other dogs. A home as the only dog is likely the best fit at this time unless adopters are VERY dog savvy and have the management to separate and do slow introductions in the new home.
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!
Saturday August 23rd and Sunday August 24th, the Shelter will be having a fee waived adoption special. This event is sponsored by the ASPCA and helps highlight that when you choose adoption, you are not only helping one animal find a home but helping the Shelter take in and care for another in it’s place.
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.
