About Sika
Sika is a Labrador/Pointer mix currently in a foster home in Dumfries, Scotland. She was born in the shelter in Cyprus and travelled to the UK in March in the hope of finding her forever home. She’s a clever, cuddly, and affectionate young dog who’s looking for a committed, cat-free home where she can continue building her confidence and trust in the world around her.
Sika is a very affectionate dog who thrives on human company. She adores curling up close, snoozing at your feet or on your lap, and is never short of cuddles to give. She’s a very loving girl with a very warm, loyal character. She’s also playful and silly, and loves racing around the garden with a toy in her mouth, or offering a high five in return for blueberries, her fave snack! She’s housetrained, crate trained, and sleeps soundly through the night. She’s settled beautifully into home life and is content to rest quietly when someone she trusts is nearby.
Sika is good on the lead and enjoys her walks, though she hasn’t yet mastered off-lead recall and remains on a long line outdoors. She loves water and trips to the beach, and enjoys splashing about in the sea with full-blown zoomies! We would say she has medium energy levels, enjoys a good adventure, but is also more than happy to spend the day snoozing beside you.
Sika is really good with other dogs and lives alongside several others of different ages and sizes in her foster home. She reads body language well, knows when to play and when to back off, and happily shares space and toys with her doggy companions. She would do well with a friendly resident dog in her new home who can help her build confidence and offer some gentle companionship and we would prefer to consider homes with other dogs first, than those without.
Sika’s main challenge is her separation anxiety. She’s developed a strong attachment to her foster carer, which has made it difficult for her to cope when left alone or even separated within the house. If her carer leaves, Sika becomes distressed very quickly. This is an area that really needs some work and commitment from the start with her new family. For this reason, she’ll need an adopter who is around often, ideally working from home, and committed to helping her build independence at her own pace. We’re also able to offer initial behavioural support with this.
Sika also cannot live with cats. She has shown strong prey drive and has tried to chase and bark at the resident cat even through the crate. Her new home must be completely cat-free.
When meeting new people, Sika is initially cautious and may bark or grumble out of fear. However, given time and space, she warms up and shows her sweet and playful nature. She is generally more comfortable around women than men, and we feel she would do best in a quieter household with one or more female adults. She hasn’t spent time around children, so we are looking for an adult-only home where her environment can be kept calm and predictable.
Sika is an incredibly endearing dog with a lot of potential. She’s smart, loving, eager to learn, and already knows several commands. With the right support and stability, she will blossom into a confident, loyal companion. We’re looking for a dedicated adopter who can offer her the patience, structure, and consistency she needs. In return, we know that Sika will give you all the love, cuddles, and post-beach zoomies you could ask for.
