About Hera

Hera is a young Husky/Pit mix, about 9 months old, with a tan and white coat and the kind of energy you would expect from a big, lively puppy. She weighs roughly 50-55lbs and is just settling into shelter life in Kalamazoo, MI. Hera isn’t yet house trained and still working on basic things like crate and leash manners, so she needs an adopter committed to training and consistent structure at home. Her social behaviors around dogs, cats, and kids are still being figured out. A meet-and-greet is required for any potential canine companions, and staff can arrange a cat test if needed. Hera’s playful, affectionate temperament comes out the more time she gets with people, but she still needs guidance and patience while she figures out the world beyond the shelter. She’s up to date on vaccines but hasn’t yet been spayed, so a refundable deposit applies if she’s adopted before her procedure. If you’re looking for an energetic, social pup and are willing to invest in her training, Hera could be a great fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
