In Memoriam Laika

 Friday, October 2, 2020

Today we received the sad news that Laika has passed away. Laika was a dog from ACE. Laika came to our shelter on 3-11-2013 when she was 4 years old. She was adopted by a very sweet couple on 29-1-2014. We have always kept in touch with them. Laika was not the easiest dog and so needed a special home. And that was with them. Laika was not a dog for a group, like with us. Laika has had such a fantastic life with her owners, wonderful with months at the campsite in the woods. We were so happy that these people came for her and surrounded her with such love and patience. Very unfortunate that Laika suddenly became very ill, due to serious heart problems and the overfilled pericardium. We had already been informed by them 3 weeks ago that Laika had suddenly lost her consciousness and that the ultrasound already showed that there were problems with her heart, but still she had recovered. We wish her owners a lot of strength with the loss of Laika.
