Description:

Hello!  My name is  Sakari  and thanks for visiting my page.  I am a purebred American Eskimo Dog, although I don’t have the papers to prove it.   I’m very pretty and my Foster Mom says my photo doesn’t do me justice.  

I spent the first eight years of my life in one home.  The addition of two active toddlers who didn’t understand that I’m not a toy to play with made me very nervous, so my family thought I would be happier in a home with older children or no children.

My confusion in losing my home caused me to have a few accidents when I first arrived at my foster home; however, as I’ve become accustomed to my new routine I’ve been able to show that I’m very well housebroken.  I love to be outdoors, even in chilly weather, and will bark at the door to let you know when I’m ready to come back in.   I’m well behaved and very affectionate and loving.  I know just what to do if you say “Sit” or “Down”.  I’m very friendly and love meeting new people.

In my foster home, I live with two big doggies and a kitty.  I don’t interact with the other doggies – they don’t bother me at all.  Sometimes I try to get the kitty to play with me because she’s closer to my size, but she’s not interested.  When I bark and give her a play bow, she hisses at me to leave her alone.  I never, ever try to hurt her though.  

I’ll bark to let you know if someone’s at the door, but Foster Mom says that for a small dog, I’m not very “barky” at all.

Although I’m considered a senior, I’m really only middle-age.  The vet couldn’t believe my age number and said I’m very healthy and in great shape.  I have lots of play energy if you’re in the mood for that, but if you’d rather be mellow, I’m okay with that too.  

These are a few of my favorite things:

1)
Going for a walk!  I walk well and dance in excitement when you pick up my leash.
2)
Chasing a tennis ball.  I’ll bring it back for you to throw again and again.
3)
Treats!  I know where the treat jar is and if you say the word, I’ll run over there and wait!
4)
Tummy rubs.  If you’d like to rub my tummy, I’ll gladly roll over to accommodate you.
5)
Back scratches.  Sometimes I try to do it myself on a chair and moan with pleasure  and Foster Mom thinks that’s so cute .
6)
Car rides!  I sit nicely and quietly  in front or back seat and behave very well.
7)
Sitting on the couch with you.  Foster Mom has a blanket on the couch for me and that’s my spot.

Wouldn’t you love to meet me to see whether you’d like to make me your own little princess?

 

 


Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all dogs before adoption. AVID Microchips are implanted between the dog's 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 dog is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Dogs MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our dogs back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog.

 

 

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