My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are You Ready to Be the Hero in My Happily Ever After?

Hi, I'm Tundra, and I need to be honest with you right from the start—I just celebrated my first birthday here at CARE. That means I've spent my entire life in this shelter, waiting for someone to choose me. My siblings Glacier and Yukon? They found their forever homes months ago. And I'm still here, watching, waiting, hoping that my person is out there somewhere.

We came from Bastrop, Texas as tiny puppies in pretty rough shape—Demodex mange, scared, not doing well at all. But CARE brought us back to health, and now I'm this confident, energetic, incredibly smart young husky who's ready to finally know what "home" feels like.

Here's What I Need You to Know About Me:
I'm a lot of dog in the best way possible. I'm smart—like, really smart—which means I need mental stimulation and a person who understands huskies. I've got energy for days, a playful spirit, and a personality that lights up every room. I need someone who's home a lot because I've waited long enough, and I don't want to spend my days alone anymore. I want to be WITH my person, doing life together.

My Ideal Person:

Understands the husky breed and can keep up with my energy
Can channel my intelligence into positive activities and training
Will take me on adventures and give me jobs to do
Provides structure, consistency, and patience
Is home enough to spend quality time with me

What I'll Give You in Return:
Everything. I will love you with my whole heart. I LOVE playing with other dogs, I'm absolutely obsessed with water (any puddle, pool, or sprinkler is my happy place), and I'm currently in training classes learning my manners. You're getting my loyalty, my devotion, my goofy personality, and a companion who will make every single day an adventure.
I'm not going to pretend I'm easy—I'm a husky who's grown up in a shelter, and that comes with its challenges. But I'm also resilient, loving, and so ready to prove that I'm worth the commitment.
So here's my question for you: Are you my person? Are you home enough? Do you understand huskies? Are you ready to give a girl who just turned one the life she deserves?

Because I'm ready. I've been ready my whole life. I just need you to show up.

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
