Leon is an 8-year-old Siberian Husky in Bakersfield, currently at Kern County Animal Services and searching for a new home. Life in the shelter isn’t easy—over 300 dogs and puppies share two warehouses, and there are no outdoor runs, so Leon’s days are spent indoors waiting for the right person to come along. The odds aren’t in his favor simply because of overcrowding, but that hasn’t dulled his spirit or hope for a fresh start. True to his breed, Leon’s got a sturdy medium coat and a striking white and cream color. He has not yet been house trained, so patience and guidance will be important in his next chapter. He is neutered and his vaccinations are up to date, giving you a solid, healthy foundation for your bond together. Leon is ready to trade the shelter walls for a place where he can finally exhale. His birthday falls on March 12, making him a Pisces—a gentle soul often known for loyalty and intuition. Give him the home he deserves and watch this Husky thrive well beyond the shelter gates.
