He is a joyful, growing pup who’s ready to bring energy, laughter, and lots of love to his future home! At about 11 months old and 56 lbs, Sombra is right in that fun teenage stage where curiosity, excitement, and learning all come together.
Sombra loves greeting people with enthusiasm! His hello can be a little energetic (sometimes with a jump or two), which may feel like a lot for some kids or adults at first. With guidance, consistency, and continued training, he’ll keep learning the best ways to say hi. Because of this, we recommend that all members of the household meet Sombra before adoption to ensure everyone feels comfortable and ready to welcome him.
This smart boy already seems to know “sit” and is very treat-motivated, which is a great foundation for continued training. His attention span is still developing, but with patience, positive reinforcement, and fun learning sessions, he’s likely to pick up new skills quickly. He’s also still working on his housetraining, so his future family should be ready to support him as he continues to learn good routines.
Sombra is a playful pup who enjoys plush squeaky toys and anything that lets him burn off some of that happy energy. Meeting his daily physical exercise and mental enrichment needs will help him settle and succeed in his home as he matures. When he recently met another dog in the shelter, Sombra was excited and quickly invited play — complete with energetic zoomies! Because of this playful style, he may be able to live with another dog, especially with a gradual introduction to help everyone feel comfortable. With the right introduction plan and the ability to give pets their own space when needed, Sombra may also be able to live with cats.
Sombra is a bright, affectionate young dog who’s still learning about the world. With time, patience, and plenty of positive experiences, he has the potential to grow into a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a lively, loving dog to grow and learn alongside, Sombra could be a fantastic match!
He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.

It is important to bring any children in the house with you to meet potential pets. We also recommend that all family members be present for an adoption. This will help ensure that the potential pet is the best possible fit for everyone in your family!
What to Bring

A carrier for your adopted cat or a leash and collar for your adopted dog. These items are available for sale at the CAHS Shelter if you do not own them.
About the Adoption
Please plan for approximately an hour to complete your adoption. If the shelter is busy, it could take longer. You will be asked to complete a one-page profile and then an Adoption Counselor will meet with you to discuss your pet(s) of interest.
Animals go home at the time of adoption. Adoption Counselors invest time with you to make sure you’re fully informed before you leave and have all the resources you need to introduce your new pet(s) into your home.
After the Adoption
About a week after you adopt, a CAHS Adoption Counselor will follow-up with you to see how things are going and offer assistance should you need it.
Please note, CAHS does not offer refunds on adoption fees. We encourage you to call regarding any difficulties you have. We have many resources available to help make your adoption a successful match.
