Meet Luca! He's available for adoption at the Humane Society of Westchester.
This handsome 2-year-old husky came in as a stray from Mount Vernon and was never claimed. Luka is a typical husky...curious, athletic and intelligent. We have introduced him to another dog, and he did well.
If you'd like to set up an appointment to meet Luca, please visit the Humane Society of Westchester website to complete an adoption application https://humanesocietyofwestchester.org/adopt-a-dog/. Once your application is submitted, please call the shelter at 914-632-2925 to meet Luca!
