(Sylvie Belmond | CLAIR – Simi Valley, CA) — This week, we’re shining a spotlight on not just one, but two amazing pets—because dogs of all sizes are looking for their perfect home!
Dante is a stunning 7-year-old Siberian Husky with soulful blue eyes and a heart full of love. Weighing in at 72 pounds, this handsome boy is looking for a forever home where he can thrive. He was found in Oxnard and has been waiting patiently at the Simi Valley Animal Shelter, dreaming of a family who will cherish him.
Huskies like Dante are intelligent, friendly, and full of energy. While they make wonderful companions, they need an owner who understands their needs. Dante will flourish in an active home—one where daily walks, and mental stimulation are part of the routine. If you love outdoor adventures like hiking or running, Dante would be the perfect partner to join you on every journey. A secure yard and plenty of space to roam will also help keep this spirited pup happy.
Though Dante is past his puppy years, he still has plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life. He enjoys human companionship and, with his thick, beautiful coat, he’d love to curl up by your side after a fun-filled day. Since huskies are known for their intelligence, he’ll thrive with training, structure, and plenty of exercise. He would do best with an adopter who is experienced with the breed or willing to learn about their unique needs.
As with any adoption, it’s always a good idea to visit the shelter and spend time with Dante to see if he’s the right fit for your home. His temperament will shine through when you meet him, and the shelter staff can provide insights into his personality and behavior. Every dog is unique, and finding the right match ensures a happy home for both pet and owner.
One of the biggest advantages of adopting a mature dog like Dante is that he already has experience with people and a well-developed personality. Unlike puppies, adult dogs tend to be house-trained, making the transition into a new home smoother. They are also past the teething and destructive chewing phases, meaning fewer surprises for their new owner. Mature dogs often require less round-the-clock supervision and offer the perfect balance of playfulness and calm companionship.
Dante is already neutered and ready to meet his new family. If you have an active lifestyle, a heart full of love, and the commitment to provide him with the exercise and engagement he craves, Dante might just be your perfect match. Come visit Dante in Kennel 906 at the Simi Valley Animal Shelter and see for yourself why this magnificent husky deserves a second chance at a forever home.
If Dante has already found his forever home by the time you visit, don’t worry—there are many other wonderful dogs at the shelter still waiting for their chance to be part of a loving family. View more adoptable dogs here. The perfect companion for you may be just around the corner!
