Description:

   
     Laika was found as a stray, is underweight, and not spayed.  She did well in her crate the first night and did not howl once after 9:30pm until I got her up again at 5am for her breakfast.  She will howl 7-10 times when put into her crate but she will stop shortly after that.  She gets along with other dogs and is a Malamute or Husky mixed with something else.  She is thin and we have no idea how long she was a stray living off the land, so I imagine that with food and time she will slowly fill out.  Her teeth look good and healthy so I think she is still a very young dog.  She needs to go to a home with a fenced in yard she can run around and play in to get her daily exercise.
LAIKA HAS SINCE HAD 5 BABIES SO WHEN SHE CAME TO US SHE WAS ALREADY PREGNANT , SHE WILL BE READY FOR A FOREVER HOME AFTER PUPS ARE WEANED .

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
