Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lakota is a beautiful, loyal and loving 13-year-old, 68-pound, female, blue-eyed Siberian Husky looking for a loving guardian.
Lakota bonds very tightly and adoringly with her human. She lived with a man her entire life, but he passed away in July.
Lakota walks beautifully on leash, in fact she loves long walks – even in the winter. She is housebroken, well-mannered and non-destructive in the home. She has seldom energetic moments. When she’s not going for a walk, she enjoys her beautfy sleep, and snores loudly. She is wonderful with all my other dogs … and, although I haven’t tried, I’ve heard she’s not so good with cats and rabbits.
She is a little stiff and arthritic in her hips so she doesn’t like it when other dogs jump on her. She’s great in the car once you help her get in and she’s fine going up and down about six stairs to get in the house, but she can no longer go up a whole flight of stairs. She never gets on furniture beyond a dog bed.
She’s never lived with children and is a little hand-shy, but she gives lots of appreciative kisses if you let her.
Lakota is a healthy senior, spayed, micro-chipped, fecal and heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. She’s even had complete blood-work and urinalysis. She has been recently diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism, so she is on twice daily (inexpensive meds) for that. She also takes supplements for her arthritis. She is currently staying with me in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. To meet and possibly adopt Lakota please contact sheri@petraits.com or 773-777-2891. Her adoption fee of $150 benefits rescued pets and includes her meds, supplements and favorite foods.
