My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Laika is a sweet but nervous girl. She’s in need of someone to help build her confidence. She is very active and playful, loves to cuddle and give kisses. She has been around cats, rabbits, and other dogs. She’s great with smaller dogs but she’s nervous around larger dogs, though she will warm up. She is nervous meeting new people, especially men and loud children. She has never snapped, lunged, or bitten anyone. She displays her anxiety with tail tucking and barking. She is both pad trained and outdoor trained, walks well on a leash, knows basic commands, but can be rambunctious as she’s still young. I recommend no small children in the home as she is a jumper.
