About Epona

Epona is part of a bonded pair, along with her sister Navi. Together, they are medium-sized husky mixes, aged five and seven years. These sweet girls found themselves at the shelter after their owner could no longer care for them, having spent their lives outdoors. Epona, with her gentle nature, is looking for a Hyrule hero to help her transition to indoor living. Both Epona and Navi have a preference for outdoor potty breaks and can be a bit timid in the noisy environment of the shelter, so meeting them outside may help bring out their true personalities. Despite being two medium dogs, they share a bond so strong that you might forget there are two! With some love, patience, and a secure outdoor setup, they can learn to thrive indoors as well.
