We are in LOVE with Ralph in these cute reindeer antlers! Ralph is such a sweet boy! At 6 years old, he’s the perfect age for someone who still wants a moderately active dog, but not a high energy puppy. Ralph has played well with other dogs, and we can cat test him. We also believe he would do well with kiddos!

Apply for him today at spcaluzernecounty.org so he has a home for the holidays! His adoption fee is also only $59 with an approved application 🥰

Mama #57203349 {Adult Female/Terrier, Pit Bull}
Say hello to adorable Mama! We just love this girl’s beautiful coat and eyes 🥰 Mama came to us very scared, and our staff and volunteers are working with her to make her more comfortable around humans. We may not know everything about her past, but we know she deserves an amazing future. We recommend a home without young kids because of how timid Mama is. We’d also love to see her go to a patient and experienced owner. Mama has lived with other dogs in the past, and we’re not sure how she is with cats. She is doing well leash walking with other dogs. Take a chance on her and apply for her at spcaluzernecounty.org!

FACT: Black dogs are less likely to get adopted. Why? Because there are superstitions against them, they’re sometimes portrayed as “bad” in film and literature, and their facial expressions are less defined.

Also a FACT: That’s dumb.

Yep, you heard it here. We are calling a fact dumb, because another FACT is these pups are just as likely to steal your heart as any other!

💙Zeus - Black lab mix. 2 years old. Neutered. Moderate energy level. Surrendered to us in November 2024. Very timid. Needs a home without kids. Can be dog and cat tested.
💙Victor - Terrier mix. 2-3 years old. High energy level. Came to us as a stray in October 2024. Very loveable. We recommend a home with kids 10+ due to his energy level. Needs a home without dogs. Can be cat tested.
🩷Storm - Terrier mix. 9 months old. High energy level. Came to us in September 2024. Loves to play! Would likely do well with kids. Passed her dog test. Can be cat tested if needed.
🩷Freya - Terrier mix. 1 year 4 months old. Spayed. High energy level. Came to us as an owner surrender in August 2024 for being too active. Loves to play! Would likely do well with kids. Passed her dog test. Can be cat tested if needed.

Apply for any of these pups at spcaluzernecounty.org! Through December 15th, the adoption fee for any of them is $50 - which includes their spay and neuter surgery, microchip, and vaccines!

We want to make sure all the adoptable dogs in our care can find their 🎄 Even if you can't adopt one of our pups right now, sharing these posts can greatly help them find their forever families!

Today, we're featuring Kaiand Cherry. These two dogs are not bonded and can be adopted separately. Learn more about both of them below:

❤Kai- 1-2 year old husky mix. Came to us as a stray in mid-November 2024. High energy level. Loves to play and run around. Can be dog and cat tested at the shelter if needed. Would likely do well with kids, although he may accidentally knock little ones over.
❤Cherry - 2-3 year old terrier mix. Came to us in mid-October 2024. Moderate energy level. Very friendly with humans. Needs a home without female dogs, has not yet been tested with male dogs. Cats and kids unknown, but we can cat test at the shelter if needed and kids would be welcome at a meet and greet. Has a condition called cherry eye, which is a tear duct condition and can be fixed with surgery.

Through December 15th, the adoption fee for either of these dogs is ONLY $59 with an approved application! That fee includes their spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, and microchip. Apply for either of them at spcaluzernecounty.org!

Cranberry #57361325 {Adult Female/Terrier, Pit Bull}
Allow us to introduce this petite pittie, Cranberry! She came to us in late November and is looking for a new family ❤️ Cranberry is a very gentle girl, and we think she would do very well with kids. She can also be dog and cat tested if needed. She is a terrier mix, so she has a moderate energy level, but she walks well on a leash and would make the perfect walking buddy! Apply for her today at spcaluzernecounty.org!

Turtle #57365630 {Adult Male/Shepherd Mixed Breed}
Meet Turtle! He is one of the new kids on the block and is ready for his furever home. Turtle came in as a stray so we don't know his background, but he is very timid and a bit scared. However, he is warming up to staff and volunteers. Because he is timid, we would not recommend a home with small children. A proper meet and greet is required with an approved application. Apply for him today at spcaluzernecounty.org

Beckett #57341259 {Adult Male/Siberian Husky}
Look at this handsome husky! Beckett came to us just a few days ago as a stray, and he is ready to find his forever home. As a husky, Beckett has a high energy level. He will also need to be groomed regularly. He would love to have a family that’s active or have a big yard to run around in! Beckett can be dog and cat tested if there are other animals in the home. We also believe he would do well with kids, although he may knock younger ones over. Apply for him today at spcaluzernecounty.org

Beautiful Hazel has made amazing progress while she’s been in our care, and we’re ready to see this pretty gal walk out our doors and into her forever family’s home!

2-3 year old Hazel was actually part of a homeless encampment, and when she came to us, she didn’t trust humans at all. She was also terrified of the leash. But through a lot of hands-on work with our staff and volunteers, she’s become an incredibly sweet and loving girl!

Because Hazel can take some time to warm up, we recommend a home without kids. We are also able to dog and cat test her if there are other animals in the home!

Apply for her today at spcaluzernecounty.org so she can enjoy all the wonders of living in a home for the very first time!!

While Santa stopped by, he took a stroll around and met alot of good dogs, cats and bunnies. And he left with a very short list. A home. They all wanted a home of their own. Please visit the shelter between now and the 15th as we are partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation to Empty the Shelters for the Holidays. Reduced adoption fees to fill some holiday wishes for our pets. 💓

Hello - Tyson here! 🐶

I’m a really great pupper! Sure sure, I have a bit of a wild side (and a lot of energy) but I really want to find my forever fam ❤️ Let’s be real - the shelter is no place for me!

I’m handsome, I’m playful, I have a great smile, I have a floppy ear - what more could you want in a pup?!

I’ve been here at the SPCA since mid-October. I’m 1 year old, a terrier mix, and I’m already neutered/up to date on vaccines. AND I have a microchip. I’m ready to find the perfect home!

Through December 15, my adoption fee is only $59 with an approved application! So get a move on! Come see me in the north kennel and apply for me at spcaluzernecounty.org! I promise to be the goodest boy & love you forever!!!

Love,
Tyson
Your Soon-to-Be Best Friend

*Tyson has played well with other dogs in our care
*We can cat test him if needed
