LUKA aka Nickolas UPDATE 1/3/26 ADOPTED!
Alaskan Malamute, neutered male 2 yr 7 mths 83 lb
Hi there! My name is Luka, your best friend!
My besties at OHS
say I am a friendly, happy, silly, and handsome boy who is sure to make
you smile and bring so much love into your life! I may be big, but that
won't stop me from trying to be a lap dog. Snuggling with hoomans is
just the best feeling ever!
I LOVE to go on adventures, run, and explore! Being so high energy
means I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs
are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help
me flourish. I am also a pretty eager guy as I get so stoked for walks
that I tend to pull. I can't help it; walkies are so much fun!
My sense of adventure is so great that I have a history of escaping
doors by bolting through them when they open. You will need to keep an
eye on me when you open doors as I may want to visit the neighbors! I
am super smart and love to learn though! Some treats and positive
reinforcement would be a great way to work on this with me (and become
fast friends!)
While I love my people/friends, I can be shy and nervous
around new people, new surroundings and handling. Including but not
limited to medical/grooming and restraint. I will need someone who can
help offer a little extra guidance and patience in these situations.
Kids can overwhelm me too so I need to go to an adult only home.
I am what people like to call an attention hog and love all eyes, ears,
and pets on me! This means I can be picky about my dog friends and will need to meet
any large canine companions prior to getting adopted. I must go to a
home without cats, small dogs, livestock, and small animals.
I can have a hard time sharing. I have a history of resource guarding
my food from people. I love treats so the best way to work on this is
to swap out whatever I have with something yummy. Have I mentioned I
love treats? Hotdogs and cheese may or may not be my favorite 😉
Being such a silly, fun, amazing, high energy boy, I require quite a
bit of time and patience. I work best with structure and routine (and
treats hehe).
If you're interested, I would love to meet you! I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here. Be prepared to pay the cheese tax though, I'll be waiting!

What my friends at OHS say about me:
- I am a friendly, happy, silly, and handsome boy who is sure to make you smile and bring so much love into your life!
- I may be big, but that won't stop me from trying to be a lap dog!
- Mental enrichment is really good for my mind and things like learning new tricks and treat puzzles are some of my favorite activities!
- High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
- I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
- Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
- Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
The type of home I'm looking for:
- In true Husky fashion, I do love singing from time to time.
- I can be picky about my canine companions. Slow introductions and having my own space will be important for me to adjust to a home with resident dogs.
