Laka

My story

I was saved from a shelter by my current family when I was 3 months old. Now, I'm almost 3 years old. Laka is my name, it's the Hawaiian word for "gentle". I love being with my family and protecting our home. I play with my human brothers everyday. I'm potty trained. I ring a bell on the door when I need to go outside. I sleep in my bed which is on the floor or my current parents' room. I do not jump on beds or furniture. I do not take food out of my human brothers' hands. My current family is moving overseas soon. The journey would be too difficult for me, so I'm looking for a new family now. I love kids. I used to love playing with other dogs until one bit me. Now I'm afraid of other dogs at the moment. Would prefer hikes over the beach. Enjoys baths but does not enjoy swimming. Likes chew toys that are indestructible. Currently dad works from home, so she likes to stay in bed at his feet all day. Also likes to patrol the yard endlessly. She only met a cat once and was curious about and confused by it. Likes to play fetch and tag with her human brothers. If you lay on the floor with her, she will be in snuggle heaven. Laka is participating in The Love Pit's iRehome program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by their foster.
