Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Luna, the tricolor Siberian husky and German shepherd mix! This sweet girl has the most beautiful blue eyes youâve ever seen and a personality to match! She was surrendered to us after her previous owner was no longer able to care for her. Luna is full of rambunctious energy. In her previous home she would go to the dog park and lived with some resident pups who liked to play wrestle, however it would sometimes escalate. Keeping this in mind, potential adopters should do a slow introduction and always have supervised playtime with resident dogs. Luna will need a lot of mental and physical stimulation in her home environment to help her burn off her âshepskyâ energy and get all her wiggles out. Here at the shelter, Luna has been a bit apprehensive and has needed some time to acclimate. However, with the right home we are sure she will blossom into the joyous dog that she really is! If you are looking for a puppy pal to burn off some energy with, this girl could be for you! Luna is available for preadoptionâcome meet her, fall in love, and take her home after her spay surgery! 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.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Gerberian Shepsky is a hybrid of the German Shepherd Dog and Siberian Husky, emerging in North America as a modern companion with working-dog roots. Typically medium to large, they feature an athletic build, erect ears, and a dense double coat, often with striking blue or heterochromatic eyes. Their temperament blends loyalty, intelligence, and independence, making them affectionate yet occasionally headstrong. With very high energy, they thrive on daily exercise and structured training, suiting active families more than apartment living without ample outdoor time. Early socialization supports good manners with children and other pets. Notable health considerations include potential hip dysplasia and eye issues; regular vet care, weight management, and coat grooming help maintain well-being. Their typical lifespan ranges around 10–13 years, rewarding committed owners with a loyal, adventurous companion.
