Cruz is a lovable 2-year-old with a big heart. He has been doing great in foster care, showing off his crate training, potty training, and polite walking skills. Cruz enjoys his walks and has met a cat without batting an eye, choosing to focus on his people instead. This friendly guy has been affectionate and social with adults he has met so far. Cruz is especially motivated by food-based enrichment and gets very excited when treats are involved, sometimes popping up with happy jumps to get closer. In low-light settings, Cruz can be a bit unsure and has been known to bump into things, so he is most comfortable when his world is bright and well lit. With his joyful spirit and affectionate nature, Cruz brings smiles wherever he goes.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
