Out and About

Our shelter may be physically located on Chanticleer Avenue, but our animals are everywhere that people and adventure can be found in the Santa Cruz area! Dining al fresco at pet-friendly establishments, socializing on city streets, getting the word out about adoption opportunities at community events, romping in dog parks, visiting classrooms and nursing homes, or enjoying sand and surf. Our adoptable animals are wherever you are, because that’s where the fun (and their future) is!
