About Ivy

Meet Ivy, a bright-eyed pup with a playful spirit and a heart full of curiosity. She is still discovering the world around her, and everything is an adventure-from chasing toys to exploring new sights and smells on her walks. Ivy has that classic terrier spark: she's smart, energetic, and always ready for fun, but she also loves a good cuddle once she's gotten her zoomies out. With her puppy charm and eagerness to learn, Ivy is the perfect candidate for continued training and bonding with her new family. She's at that wonderful age where she can grow into just about any lifestyle with the right guidance and love. Whether you're looking for a playful companion or a loyal sidekick, Ivy is ready to blossom into an amazing lifelong friend. Ivy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. You can meet her in person at CASPCA from 12pm-6pm daily, or please email adoptions@caspca.org for more info!

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.
