The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter is chopping its adoption charges by half this vacation season, pushed by a continued surge in homeless pets after the COVID-19 pandemic.
From now till Jan. 3, puppies underneath 6 months old are $105, grownup dogs are $75, kittens are $60, grownup cats are $50, and rabbits are $35. The cost covers vaccinations, spay or neuter surgical procedure, and a microchip.
As of Dec. 24, there have been 24 dogs, 56 cats, and 14 rabbits on the shelter, together with three roosters, a parakeet and a turtle. That contains Max, a fluffy Great Pyrenees who loves driving within the automotive and will get alongside properly with different dogs. Jaspurr, a grey-and-white cat who the shelter employees say isn’t just adventurous however likes to “lead the parade.” And Squirt, a turtle who — although not native to the realm — was discovered deserted in an area pond.
“Our numbers have remained high, and our staff is tired — and most importantly, we want our animals to have loving homes,” mentioned Amber Rowland, the shelter’s supervisor. “We decided to do half-price adoptions because the shelter is more full than it ever has been this year.”
The shelter is situated at 1001 Rodriguez Street and is open from 11 a.m. to six p.m., other than Christmas and New Year’s Day.
