About Oso

Hi there! My name is Oso and I'm at the Santa Maria Campus. I'm a 8 month old, Male, Husky who came to SB Humane in search of a new caring home. I'm a sweet husky who loves people, though I can be a little shy at first. I get along well with other dogs and enjoy being part of the pack. True to my breed, I love to share my songs and howls, especially when I'm happy and feeling playful. Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays. Adoptions are on a first-come first served basis. For more information please email Adopt@SBHumane.org or call 805-964-4777. When I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adopters will receive a certificate for a free veterinary exam and our partners at Purina will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home. Our adoption fees help support our community programs and the next animal who needs our help!

About Husky Dogs

Huskies are athletic, free-spirited sled dogs known for their striking appearance, endurance, and love of running. Their wolf-like features, blue or multi-colored eyes, and thick double coat make them one of the most visually stunning breeds. They are social, playful, and have a mischievous sense of humor.

Adopting a Husky means embracing an active, vocal companion who sees life as one big adventure. They are friendly with everyone, love other dogs, and bring endless entertainment to their families. Their independent nature and escape artist tendencies keep their owners on their toes.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

The rainy season brings most of the annual 18 inches of rainfall. Trails can be muddy and creek crossings may be dangerous. Between storms, clear days with ocean views make wonderful walking weather for pets.

Spring

45°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Wildflowers carpet the hillsides and the marine layer burns off by midmorning. Beach walks are excellent and the mountain trails dry out. One of the best times of year for outdoor adventures with your pet.

Summer

55°F to 75°F

Jun – Aug

Morning marine layer keeps things cool along the coast. Afternoons warm up but rarely feel hot thanks to ocean breezes. Hendry's Beach is packed with dogs and their owners enjoying the surf.
