About Laika

Meet Laika! Her story begins much like that of her namesake, the famous space dog, who was a stray in Moscow before reaching the stars. But this Laika is here on Earth, ready for a loving home where she won’t have to roam anymore. Laika is a gentle, loyal, and affectionate companion who thrives on being close to her people. She doesn’t understand personal space, and you might find her trying to snuggle up as close as possible. Her playful spirit shines through during adventures, but she knows how to unwind and relax afterward. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would fit in well in a home with canine siblings and children. Laika has a calm demeanor; she rarely barks and is simply a happy girl who loves everyone around her. Fully potty trained and mainly kennel trained (though she prefers being with you), Laika is motivated by treats, even if she’s not always keen on finishing her regular meals. Just be cautious with trash, as she tends to investigate anything left within reach. Laika is an exuberant spirit who finds joy in every moment. This delightful dog doesn’t need to travel into space to make history; she just needs a family to call her own. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
