Update 6/28/24: Cruz has been rescued!
San Bernardino, CA – At just four months of age, an adorable German shepherd puppy finds himself homeless and sitting in a lonesome kennel run at the San Bernardino City Animal Control. The puppy, Cruz, was apparently adopted and then returned to the shelter facility.
It is hard to imagine why someone would decide to take a young puppy like Cruz BACK to an animal control facility. Did they decide that a puppy was too much responsibility? Did they not realize that puppies require time, patience, and effort?
Cruz needs help to find a committed, loving new owner who will give him the care that he needs to thrive. Please share this puppy’s adoption information and help him get the attention needed to secure a new home.

the dog is gorgeous. i don’t agree with what they did. you know when you adopt a puppy especially a shepherd that they need lots of care. i will say at least they had the heart to return him to a safe place and not just set him loose on the street. hope he finds his forever home quick.
What an adorable baby. Why did the people return him? Why did they adopt him in the first place? Some people should just not have a pet! Pets are a lifetime commitment and are part of the family.
Shelters need to vet the people who adopt animals a LOT better. There are too many instances where the people returned a dog or cat for a stupid reason or harmed or even killed the animal.
