My story

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

Blanca is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours!

Scroll through her pictures to see her cute videos!

Beautiful "Blanca with the Blue Eyes" is a perfect medium sized husky gal who comes to us from Texas. She is from a region of southern Texas very close to the border with Mexico, and with a shortage of resources for the many dogs in need. Blanca found her way to a nice rescue just south of Austin, and after spending a few months there she made her way up to us. We are so happy to have her here!

Blanca is so well-behaved and smart. She keeps her kennel clean and waits to do her business until she is on a walk, which bodes well for house training. She is also quiet (a rare quality in a husky, which makes us suspicious... just kidding!) and exceptionally gentle and sweet. She greeted a corporate volunteer group like they were old friends, cuddling and rolling over for belly rubs! This girl knows how to work a crowd.

Blanca has done well meeting other dogs in playgroup, and is a social and friendly pup all around. We hope you will come meet her this week!

Blanca's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed and up to date on core vaccines. Blanca is Heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment with us. Heartland will cover the cost of treatment until she is Heartworm negative.

Heartworm is not contagious to other dogs or people; it is a mosquito-borne disease. It is both preventable and curable! Once cured, there are no long term health effects associated with having Heartworm.

Blanca is on a 28 day course of antibiotics, after which she will receive three injections to treat her Heartworm, all to take place at our shelter with our veterinarian, at no cost to an adopter.

Injection 1: 4/7/26
Injection 2: 5/12/26
Injection 3: 5/13/26
