Laika's Story

Meet Laika! <br/><br/>Laika has been through more in her life than any dog should ever have to experience, but despite it all, she has the biggest heart and SO much love to give! This beautiful girl absolutely adores people, and her excitement when she sees her favorite humans is impossible to resist. She has the happiest, most adorable full-body wiggle that will make you smile every single time! <br/><br/>Laika is a playful, fun-loving girl who enjoys the simple things in life! She LOVES her squeaky toys, chasing balls around the yard, and spending time with her people. She's also a fantastic copilot! She does great in the car and loves heading out on field trips with our volunteers. Whether it's an adventure out and about or a relaxing afternoon at home, Laika is just happy to be included.<br/><br/>And when playtime is over? Laika is a total cuddle bug! She loves being close to her people, happily climbs into laps for snuggles, and knows how to make herself comfortable. She's a big fan of cozy beds and will even tuck herself into her blankets, getting all wrapped up for a good snooze. It's absolutely adorable! She's also housetrained and ready to settle into a home of her very own.<br/><br/>Laika does have some specific needs when it comes to finding her perfect match. She struggles around other dogs and is looking for a dog-experienced family in a quieter neighborhood, with a securely fenced yard where she can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. She will need to be the only pet in her home, with a family committed to keeping her safely separated from other animals so she can thrive.<br/><br/>Laika's past hasn't been easy, but we are determined to make sure her future is everything she deserves. She doesn't want a busy social life with other animals -- she just needs a loving family, a safe place to call home, a yard full of toys, and plenty of cozy blankets.<br/><br/>After everything she's been through, Laika is ready to be the spoiled princess she should have always been. <br/><br/>For the right family, Laika has so much love, laughter, loyalty, and happiness to share. Could you be the one to give this incredibly special girl the happy ending she's been waiting for?

Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our Adoption Process Our goal is to help each of the animals in our care find a home that best meets their needs - and to help set you and your new pet up for success. To that end, here's a quick guide to adopting at Baypath: 1. Read our available pet biographies to learn about each dog or cat. 2. If you think there is a cat or dog that fits your lifestyle, please fill out our online questionnaire contained on the pet’s bio page to help us better get to know you. You can also indicate in your questionnaire that you are interested in multiple cats or dogs – it doesn’t just have to be for a particular animal. 3. Once the questionnaire is received, we will begin to go through it. We may reach out along the way as we speak with any vets, references, landlords and/or have any clarifying questions. Most importantly, we will reach out to set up a time for a matchmaking conversation with you and those in your household. Your efforts to provide information via the questionnaire will ensure a great conversation takes place. 4. After the matchmaking call, we will regroup, taking into account other potential families and the needs of the animal. We will then contact you as soon as possible with the status of your questionnaire. Once your questionnaire is approved and we all agree that there is a potential fit, we will proceed as described in the next step. If your questionnaire is approved, but we don’t have the right fit just yet, we will continue to work with you to find that fit. 5. Adoptions are done by appointment in order to ensure that we can give our adopters our full attention – and answer any and all questions – during this exciting time. Dogs – We are able to facilitate dog meets – with the family and any dogs in the home – onsite once a questionnaire is approved and a potential match is made. The meets are by appointment. Cats – We are able to facilitate cat meets for cats and kittens who are in-shelter onsite once a questionnaire is approved and a potential match is made. The meets are by appointment. 6. If you need time to prepare your home for your new dog or cat, we will accept a $100.00 non-refundable deposit with an approved questionnaire. This holds your adoption for 24 hours as it is always in the best interest of the animal to be in a home sooner than later. Please know that we want to be a resource to you during and after this exciting process. We have tips, handouts, books and more to help you and your new pet with a smooth adjustment period. We can also provide you with a list of supplies you’ll need, as well as preferred vets, trainers, etc. Adoption is a commitment that is likely to extend more than 10 years. If you have any reservations, please take your time. Think your decision over carefully and discuss it with all family members. If you have any questions, please ask us. We’re here to help! Note: You must be 21 years or older to adopt. Adoption Fees: Dogs Puppy (6 months and younger): $600 Adolescent (7 months-1 yearr): $525 Adult (1-8 years): $500 Senior (8+ years): $400 Cats Kitten (6 months and younger): $425 single, $700 pair of kittens Adolescent (7 months-1 year): $350 Adult (1-10 years): $275 Senior (10+ years): $225
