HIGGINS*

Description

Meet Higgins, the husky mix puppy. Higgins came into the Shelter after a good Samaritan took him (and his puppy friend Langley) in after their previous guardian was unable to continue caring for them. Higgins and Langley do not appear to be littermates but are buds. They could be adopted together or separately in their next home. Higgins has been a little shy when he first arrived but has been warming up with staff and volunteer TLC. Adopters should be patient with him in the transition as he blossoms in his next home. Higgins may do well in a home with another dog after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Higgins with cats or children. Higgins 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.
