This lovely husky mix is a medium-sized adult female with a beautiful medium-length coat in tones of yellow, black, and gray. She is currently at Rockbridge SPCA and, while she is not yet house trained, she is ready to find a forever home with someone who understands the breed’s needs. Her future adopter will need husky experience and a securely fenced yard.

About Zoey

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Zoey is a stunning husky mix with a medium coat in shades of blond, black, and gray who truly loves to "sing." As a young adult, she’s the perfect companion for someone who appreciates the unique personality and vocal charm of the husky breed. Zoey is looking for an adopter with husky experience who understands her energy and spirit—she is not a fit for beginners, and a securely fenced yard is required to keep her safe and happy. You can visit her in person at Rockbridge SPCA and see for yourself just how special she is! Please note that all adopted animals from Rockbridge SPCA go directly to a veterinarian for their spay or neuter procedure before going home. The shelter does adopt out of area if you can make more than one trip, but animals are not held and a fenced yard is a strict requirement. Rockbridge SPCA does not adopt to college students (but welcomes volunteers), and all young animals must meet certain weight guidelines for their surgery. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
