Lakona

Lakona was surrendered to our partner vet to be euthanized after he suffered a medical issue and they could not afford his care. After surgery to remove a cloth foreign body that was anchored in his stomach and extended into his intestines, and subsequent fluid removal from his belly, he's now on the mend and with a foster in the Austin area.<br/><br/>Lakona is a very friendly and gentle boy that takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is all about love. He is affectionate and adores all the dogs that he meets and has learned to live with cats. He does great and has all the confidence in the world when he has another confident dog with him, but he's still timid when solo with new people and situations. <br/><br/>He is 100% crate trained, but in his chewing phase so no bedding or plush style toys unless you like picking up fluff on a daily basis. He walks great on and off leash but he prefers his pack mate(s) with him. He'd definitely knock over younger kids with his goofy play because he has no idea what to do with his legs. He knows his basics: sit, down, crate, heel, come. He just likes to play! He does still need a structured potty schedule. <br/><br/> He is a velcro dog and meets everyone with kindness. He needs a fun, playful fur-friend to romp with and a loving family who can continue working with him to build his confidence.
