Story
Like a lazy summer afternoon with a cool breeze, Summer is a gentle senior Shepsky who prefers to take life at her own unhurried pace. She’s a very sweet girl with a dreamy, head-in-the-clouds personality. Summer enjoys lounging in comfy spots and leisurely walks. She has a soft spot for snow and may occasionally surprise you with a howl or two just to show off that husky flair. She’s happy soaking in the simple joys of life and would love a home that appreciates her easygoing nature.She has had positive introductions with respectful children here at the shelter. Any dogs in the home will need to meet Summer at the shelter for a dog-to-dog introduction to ensure a good match. We do not have a history of her living with cats, but she would be willing to meet any felines on a dog’s day out to the home.If you’re looking for a sweet senior who brings mellow, warm vibes with just a hint of husky song, Summer might be the perfect companion to share your days with.
