San Andreas, CA…Meet Misty, a German shepherd and likely Husky mix female, estimated to be between 3 and 4 years of age. Misty is very affectionate and enjoys all handling and her bath. This blue and brown-eyed beauty happily romped on her play date with Shadow, a male of similar size though she retreated from a dominant female who challenged her. A quick learner, she has made terrific progress from being a puller to walking nicely on a leash. Huskies are known to have a strong prey drive, so a home without small animals is important along with an escape-free enclosure. Misty may also be housebroken since she keeps her kennel clean.

As with all dogs available for adoption at the Calaveras Animal Shelter, Misty is micro-chipped, has tested negative for heartworm and is up-to-date on her routine vaccinations. Misty will need to be spayed before going home with you.

Come visit Misty, impound no. AO50478, along with other dogs and cats awaiting their forever homes at Calaveras County Animal Services, 901 Jeff Tuttle Drive, San Andreas (in government center by the new jail). Animal Services is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday (closed for lunch from 1-2 p.m.). For more information about this dog, please email kbandy@co.calaveras.ca.us or svavzincak@co.calaveras.ca.us, or call Animal Services directly at 754-6509. Please refer to her impound number when making inquiries. Adoptable animals may also be viewed on the web at http://animal.calaverasgov.us/Adoptions and on the Calaveras County Animal Services Facebook page.

Volunteers are also desperately needed. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, we could use your help caring for shelter animals. No experience necessary; we will provide training and match you to your interests. Please call 754-6509 for more information.
