About Cielo

*Woof* Meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW between 12pm-7pm daily! Cielo and her tall, expressive ears are listening closely for the wonderful, caring adopters who will take her home. She’s a pretty girl with soulful eyes and a gentle spirit. Cielo traveled all the way from Puerto Rico in hopes of finding love, safety, and a family to call her own. She’s a smart girl, but a bit bashful at first. With soft voices, yummy treats, and plenty of kindness, this sweet dog will truly bloom. Can you give Cielo the supportive, warm home she’s searching for? Meet and adopt her today — she needs you.

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

28°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

DC winters bring cold temperatures with occasional snowstorms that can shut down the city. Protect your pet’s paws from road salt on treated sidewalks. Rock Creek Park offers sheltered trails that stay navigable even in snowy conditions.

Spring

40°F to 70°F

Mar – May

Cherry blossom season in late March and April is beautiful for walks, but the Mall and Tidal Basin area get very crowded. Stick to quieter trails in Rock Creek Park or along the C&O Canal with your pet. Warming temperatures make this an increasingly pleasant season for outdoor activities.

Summer

68°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers with heat indexes exceeding 100°F demand shade and hydration on every outing. Seek shaded trails along Rock Creek Park and carry water for your pet. Plan walks for early morning or evening to avoid the worst of the heat.
