About Blanca

Blanca is a striking 3-year-old Husky with piercing blue eyes and a soft spot for cuddles. She’ll chase down a tennis ball in a heartbeat, although, in classic Husky fashion, retrieving isn’t really her thing. While she came to the shelter with her sister, Blanca isn’t a good fit for a home with her littermate due to some resource guarding, but she does well with other dogs as long as she can be the top dog in the house. Blanca thrives around kids and did excellently during a recent trial adoption; her quick adjustment to their routine made housetraining simple. However, their child’s allergies brought her back to the shelter. She grew up in a Spanish-speaking home but is eager to learn English commands. A cat-free environment is a must for Blanca, and she’s waiting for someone ready to make her their loyal companion. Fun fact: Blanca is an Aries—born for adventure and affectionate leadership.
