Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky (medium coat). Meet Stormy, the husky. You may be wondering why Stormy is missing hair. Well, Stormy came into the Shelter after her prior guardian was unable to continue caring for her. Stormy was an indoor dog who also had access to a securely fenced in backyard. She lived with another dog and a dog-savvy cat and did well with them. Over time, Stormy started to itch and bite at her skin. Her previous guardian did not have the resources to take her to the vet. After realizing how uncomfortable Stormy was, she wanted her to get the help she needed so she surrendered her to the Shelter. The medical team has gotten Stormy on the road to recovery with some oral and topical treatments to help her feel better. Despite her condition, she has been social and tolerant of handling and treatments. As an older gal, she is easy going. She still enjoys her walks and has met other dogs without issue. Stormyâs next adopter will need to be an individual who has the resources (time, finances, etc) to take in a senior dog with medical. This will require more frequent vet visits, especially while working with their veterinarian to get her skin feeling better. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! 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.

Overview:
The Siberian Husky is a striking and beloved breed, originating from Northeast Asia where they were bred by the Chukchi people for pulling sleds over long distances in harsh conditions. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their medium size, thick double coat (available in various colors and markings), and often captivating blue or bi-colored eyes. Their temperament is typically friendly, outgoing, and playful, making them generally good with children and other dogs. However, their independent and sometimes stubborn nature, coupled with a strong prey drive, means consistent training and secure containment are essential. While affectionate, their high energy levels and need for significant exercise make them less suitable for sedentary lifestyles or tiny apartments; a house with a securely fenced yard is often preferred. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy. Overall, a Siberian Husky thrives with active families committed to meeting their exercise and mental stimulation needs.
