Story
Hi, I’m Shredder and I’m a 9 month old Male Siberian Husky currently living at the Santa Barbara Campus, eager for a new home!
Shredder is a 9-month-old Husky puppy who has already overcome more than most dogs his age ever should. After being hit by a car, he was surrendered and required an amputation. Through it all, Shredder has remained incredibly positive and he's recovering with the medical care and support he needs. Like any young Husky, Shredder is curious, intelligent, and ready to embrace life. He's learning how to navigate the world on three legs, and so far, he's proving that having one less leg doesn't stop him from enjoying all the things puppies love: exploring, playing, and spending time with his people. In his previous home, Shredder lived with children and did well with them. He spent most of his time indoors with the family and enjoyed being part of the household. While he has not lived with other dogs, he has done well around them while out and about. He has also lived with a cat and can successfully coexist with feline friends when given a slow, thoughtful introduction.
As a young puppy, Shredder is still a blank slate when it comes to training. His future family should be prepared to continue teaching him basic manners, provide structure and guidance, and help him grow into the amazing adult dog he's capable of becoming. What he is looking for most is a family that sees him for who he is—not a dog missing a leg, but a dog full of potential, love, and determination. His journey hasn't been easy, but he's ready for his next chapter: a forever home where he can leave his difficult past behind and focus on being a happy, beloved puppy. If you're looking for a companion with a big heart, an inspiring spirit, and a lifetime of love to give, Shredder is ready to meet you.
Adoptions are open 12pm-4:30pm every day, except Wednesdays, and no appointment is needed. Like all SBH animals, when I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions also include a certificate for a complimentary post-adoption veterinary exam from a local clinic and our partners at Hills Science Diet will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.
Need some supplies? Both SB Humane Campuses have retail centers stocked with everything you need, at comparable prices, and your purchase helps support our mission. Hope to see you soon!
