Laika

Description

Successfully rehomed by Blue Cross - Thirsk

Laika is a Siberian Husky with a very sweet temperament but due to her sheltered upbringing, she finds new things and new people quite scarey.

Until recently, where we placed her into a foster home, she had not lived in a normal household but with her fosterers she is now housetrained, used to an indoor kennel and thriving in a home situation.

It is imperative that in Laika's new home she has the company of other dogs to live with and play with. She is happiest when she has the support and comfort of other dogs. New people do worry her and it may take a few visits before Laika starts to trust her potential new owners entirely but this beautiful girl is very much a daddy's girl, much prefers men to women. She is certainly well worth the effort!

Laika has proved very efficient at jumping so will need new owners to have a securely enclosed garden as it will be a long time before she trusts her new owners. She will need to be managed on lead when out and about for walkies and have her off lead time safely in her garden.

She has a typically high prey drive and would not be suitable to live with cats or small furries.

Laika is a pretty little girl who has gone through a lot in her time in foster but is ready to start looking for her 'forever home'. Due to her lack of socialisation in the big wide world her rehoming needs are quite specific and she will remain in her foster home until the right permanent home is found for her.

Laika adores cuddles with her foster dad, playing with other dogs and digging - she likes to rearrange gardens so be prepared!

If you think you have the time, the energy and the commitment for this little lady then please contact the centre and we can discuss her in more detail.
