About Spirit

Click apply to start the adoption process. Spirit is a beautiful husky mix who was adopted from SCAC-AC five years ago and is now looking for her next loving home. At six years old, she has lived a wonderful life with her devoted dad, interacting regularly with many adults and proving herself to be very people social. Spirit has not been around other dogs, children, or cats, so her ideal match would be an adult-only home or one with older children aged 8 and up. With her outgoing personality, Spirit would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can enjoy time outdoors safely. Her dad is facing serious medical challenges, which is why rehoming is necessary, and he is hoping for a kind-hearted adopter to give Spirit the loving home she deserves before he transitions to long-term care.
