About this Dog
Are you a crafty, hands-on person who loves a fun challenge? Carpenter just might be your perfect match! This gorgeous gal â a spunky mix of Belgian Malinois and Great Pyrenees â is destined to be a big, outdoors-loving bundle of joy. Carpenter is bursting with energy and potential, just waiting for a family whoâs excited to help her learn the ropes of housetraining, leash manners, and all the basics that will turn her into a superstar companion. Sheâs already got a âsitâ down pat here at the shelter â talk about smart! Even better, thanks to the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation, youâll get a training voucher for sessions with a certified local trainer. That means you and Carpenter can start off on the right paw together! Come meet this beautiful, slightly mischievous pup and kick off your very own puppy-raising adventure. If youâre ready for a loyal, hard-working dog to share a lifetime of fun, Carpenter is waiting for you!Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs 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 âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd 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.
Contribute to CARPENTER*'s Stash!

100% of CARPENTER*'s balance will be sent to whoever adopts CARPENTER*.
Adopt CARPENTER* and Receive CARPENTER*'s Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, CARPENTER*'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is CARPENTER*'s current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the CARPENTER*, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming CARPENTER*'s contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and CARPENTER* was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, CARPENTER*’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the CARPENTER*’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, CARPENTER*’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
