Story
Name: Luka
Sex: Male
Color: Black & White
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: 03/22/2022 (estimated)
Weight: 60lbs
Large Dog Friendly: Yes, he has done great with all dogs. He has been in doggie daycare and socialized with many dogs.
Small Dog Friendly: Yes, he has done great with all dogs. He has been in doggie daycare and socialized with many dogs.
Cat Friendly: Unknown
Crate Trained: He will whine for a minute or two at first but then calms down and does good for shorter periods during the day. He gets restless when kenneled at night and doesn’t sleep so we’ve had him sleep on a dog bed in our bedroom at night with no issues.
Housebroken: Work in progress. He is heading in the right direction but has had the occasional accident and this is something his fur-ever family will need to continue to work on with him.
Energy Level: Medium. He gets zoomies and loves to play but also loves to sleep in or take a long nap on the couch. He can be excited when at new places for the first time but once he gets comfortable he’s very chill.
Reaction to New People: LOVES people and is very friendly.
Kid Friendly: Yes, he has been exposed to kids of all ages and would be a great family dog. Would pair best with kids that understand dog safety as he sometimes doesn’t realize his size.
Training: Knows his name & sit, walks good on a leash. Working on down, come, stay, potty training, etc.
Grooming Needs: Typical husky grooming with weekly brushing. He loves baths and treats them like a personal spa day.
Fence: 5 ft fence or higher is best. He is a typical husky escape artist and has gotten over our 4 ft fence before. 5ft fence is ok but a 6ft or privacy fence would be best.
Solo or Siblings: Would make a great sibling and loves being around other dogs but can also vibe solo too.
From the Foster: Luka is such a sweet dog. He is the perfect running, walking, and hiking buddy that is always down for an adventure. He also does great with down time and loves to cuddle up on the couch with you at the end of the day. He’s a lover not a fighter and LOVES to meet and be around people as well as other dogs. He’s very curious and loves to play with other dogs. He can be a bit high energy so not every dog wants to play back but Luka is a sweetheart. He has also done great with kids of all ages and is a gentle goof. He is a little clumsy and a typical husky so would do best with kids at an age like 7+ that understand dog safety.
Luka was an outside dog and came to AAHMN as an unclaimed stray that had zero training and didn’t know how to play or just be a dog. In a short time, he has really blossomed and is eager to please. He’s figured out the joy of toys, pup cups, long walks, cuddles, and doggie play dates. He’s such a sweet dog and would make a great family dog or dog sibling. He still has more training to do and would thrive in a house that continues working on training with him. He also is an escape artist and with the right motivation can try to push boundaries so a home with a 5ft+ fence or higher is a must. He gets a little excited when in new places but settles in easy enough once he’s comfortable. Luka has a sweet personality and is relatively quiet but will give you some sweet husky woos and talk back on long car rides.
Luka is a dog that will steal your heart and would be a great addition to any family. We are so excited for Luka to find his fur-ever family!
