About Laika ~ Labrador x Kelpie (on trial 25/3/19)
Laika is a 1 year old Labrador X Kelpie and she is the sweetest girl around! She just wants love and companionship and has so much to give in return.
She loves walks and swims, cuddles and food (FOOD!!). She’s very trainable and knows some cool tricks like shake and ‘boop’. She is fantastic on the lead, and her recall is great.
Laika adores her big foster brother, who she gives SO many kisses to, and likes the cats as well although she finds them very mysterious. She also enjoys pub trivia nights and pet shops because the smells are soooooo interesting, but doesn’t like being left outside shops much and makes sure you remember she’s there.
Laika is a very sensitive soul, and can get anxious and over-excited, which she expresses by spinning and barking in a way that can be very amusing but loud and quite sad. This has been a problem for her but she has improved so much and continues to be a calmer and happier dog every day! Her new parents have to be committed to both accepting her as she is and helping her grow with patience and consistency.
Laika has quite a high energy level, and needs plenty of exercise to keep her mentally at one hundred percent awesome! Her foster mum takes her on a walk in the morning and a vigorous walk/run/swim session in the evenings and she has been thriving. She also takes some anti-anxiety medication which has really been helping her.
Laika needs to go to a forever home where she can be an inside dog, where she is around her people more often than not, and where her new parents are committed to doing what’s best for her well-being. She needs a calm home, so probably no young children or young dogs would be best, but an older chilled-out dog for her to look up to would be fantastic.
Laika will make the right home complete with her eager love and sweet dogginess! If you think this could be you we’d love to hear from you!
