If you’re looking for a four-legged friend with a smile that could brighten even the foggiest of days, Haze may be your guy.
This silly, sweet 1.5-year-old Husky Shepherd mix is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a forever family of his own through Long Beach Animal Care Services.
At 25 pounds, Haze is on the smaller side, but he has a big personality. Just look at that happy face! With his perky ears, tongue-out grin and those irresistible puppy-dog eyes, Haze has mastered the art of looking adorable while waiting for his next adventure.
Shelter staff say that Haze knows who his people are and isn’t shy about showing them how much he loves them—with lots of kisses and plenty of cuddles.
An active guy, Haze would thrive with a family ready to keep him moving, playing and learning. He’s a big fan of treats, which makes teaching him new tricks a fun bonding experience.
He can be goofy and a little rambunctious at times, but his affectionate personality and happy spirit are hard to resist.
Haze is beginning to show some kennel stress because he really thrives on human attention. What he needs now is to clear the way for his forever family.
