86861A Surrey - Adoption Ambassador

Surrey arrived at the shelter as a pregnant stray and bravely raised her puppies right here in our care. Now that all her babies have found their homes, it’s finally Surrey’s time to step into the spotlight and find a family of her own- and her adoption fee has been sponsored by the adopters of one of her puppies!<br/><br/>We believe Surrey is a Husky mix, and true to her breed, she is a large dog with strong protective instincts. Because of this, she will need an experienced adopter who understands her breed and can provide confident, consistent leadership. Surrey is incredibly sweet with people she trusts—she adores being pet and brushed, welcomes affection, and has a soft, loving presence once she bonds with you.<br/><br/>Surrey does have some particular needs:<br/><br/>She can be selective with other dogs and would do best meeting other dogs with careful and conscientious introductions. We have noticed Surrey does best with male dogs.<br/>Due to her larger size, she should not go to a home with small children.<br/>She does not like being left alone and will sometimes bark when lonely, so she’s best suited for someone who is home often or can make arrangements to minimize long stretches by herself.<br/>Like many smart breeds, she needs plenty of mental stimulation to keep her happy and balanced.<br/>And yes—she sheds! Regular brushing at least once a week (which she loves) is a must.<br/><br/>On the plus side, Surrey appears potty-trained, knows how to sit and lay down on command, and is eager to please her people. With the right home—one that appreciates her breed traits, gives her structure, and lets her be herself—Surrey will be an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion.<br/><br/>If you’re experienced with guardian breeds and ready to open your home and heart to a devoted dog who’s finally ready for her next chapter, Surrey is waiting to meet you. We currently have Surrey at our offsite facility in Ravenel where she has much more space- please email TransitionCenter@charlestonanimalsociety.org to set up an appointment to meet Surrey.
