About Kenai

Meet Kenai, an energetic male Husky who arrived at the shelter as a stray along with his four puppies. A good Samaritan found them and brought them to safety, where Kenai quickly became a social butterfly with people. True to his Husky nature, he thrives on physical and mental stimulation, making an active home ideal for him. While he enjoys interacting with some dogs, Kenai can be selective, so potential adopters should have resident dogs meet him at the shelter first. It's important to prioritize decompression after adoption and to avoid crowded spaces like dog parks initially. Kenai is also recommended for a home without cats. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation offers a $200 training voucher with his adoption, which can help build a strong bond between Kenai and his new family. Don't miss the opportunity to meet this lovable dog!
