Laika - Siberian Husky Dog for Adoption in Deer Park, Washington

Laika is a gentle, 3 year old sweet 55-lb husky whose ideal life would be spent lounging in a yard, charming house guests, and getting lots of belly rubs. She is calm, quiet, rarely barks, and is food-motivated.

We adopted Laika in April, but the noisy urban neighborhood we live in is too stressful for her. She needs a home with a quiet yard and a secure fence (as she chases critters). Laika isnt reactive towards dogs she sees on walks but currently doesnt get along with dogs indoors - though our trainer is confident she can learn this skill. Laika is untested with kids but is very gentle with people so older children would likely be fine. We are looking for owners who will communicate with her via positive reinforcement and patience rather than force or punishment. She cant be left in a locked crate as this is deeply distressing for her.

Our trainer has been excellent and has offered a complimentary 1-hour consultation with her new family, before or after adoption. Laika is currently in the Seattle, WA area.
