URGENT: Foster or Adopter Needed for Demi
Female • Shepherd/Husky Mix • ~3 years old • ~60 lbs
Meet Demi — a smart, loyal, adventure-loving girl who’s ready to find the person(s) she can finally call home.
Demi is affectionate, playful, gentle, and full of personality. She loves exploring trails, playing fetch, learning new things, and curling up for snuggles after a fun day. She’s incredibly intelligent and shines when given enrichment and connection, especially nose work and training, which she absolutely loves. Toys are one of her favorite things, and she’ll happily entertain herself before coming over for affection and cuddles.
She would thrive with someone who enjoys the outdoors and wants a true companion for beach days, camping trips, hikes, and everyday adventures.
Right now, Demi urgently needs a foster or adopter to help her decompress outside the shelter environment. After spending nearly 4 months in care — waiting 108 days for her chance — she’s showing signs of kennel stress. Before arriving here, Demi also endured a long and stressful life-saving rescue transport from Louisiana, and she’s ready for stability, patience, and kindness.
Demi needs:
- A gentle, patient person with calm, understanding hands
- A loving home where she can decompress
- Someone who enjoys training, enrichment, and adventure
- A best friend who will give her the love and future she deserves
To help set Demi up for success, behavior staff works closely to support a smooth and successful transition into her foster or adoptive home. We want both Demi and her future person to feel supported every step of the way.
Despite everything she’s been through, Demi continues to show up with love, curiosity, and resilience. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply, learns quickly, and will make someone incredibly happy.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug, Demi is waiting for you. Foster or adopt her today and help change her story. Call the shelter at (360) 378-2158, or email shelter@apsfh.com for more information. ... See MoreSee Less
