LUNA - Siberian Husky-Unknown Mix Female Dog For Adoption in Santa Cruz, California, USA

Dog Breed: Siberian Husky / Mixed (medium coat).

Meet Luna, the 5 year old female husky. Luna arrived to the Shelter after a pervious guardian left her and another dog behind. A roommate brought them to the Shelter for safety as they were unable to care for them long term. Luna is a fluffy gal who hasn’t had the best husbandry – arrived to the Shelter with matting and a dirty coat. She has been lively and playful with staff and volunteers – soaking up all the attention she can get. Luna may need some patience when transitioning to the new home to learn the daily routine and bond with her people. Typical to Nordic breeds – Luna does have a bit of wanderlust. She should be securely on leash or supervised if out in an enclosed yard to ensure she doest not go off to find her own fun. Luna has lived with another dog previously. Although initially unsure of new dogs at the Shelter, she has met other dogs of various sizes and was noted to be mildly curious and quiet. A home with another dog may be a fit after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. We do not have any history of Luna with children or cats. Luna is available for pre-adoption. Come meet her, fall in love and take her home after her spay surgery. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” 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 location’s 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 “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d 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.
