Shelter animals make great pets. Many have already lived with a human family and have the basic training, socialization and cooperative skills they need to become part of your household. And many shelter animals have the advantage of being mixed-breed animals that use what geneticists call “hybrid vigor” avoiding some of the health issues of purebred animals.
SCCAS appreciates and applauds people who make the life-saving decision to adopt a homeless animal! Visit Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter’s adoptable animals, and be prepared to fall in love!
