Sky

Highlights: -Needs 5ft fenced yard -Needs a confident canine sibling -Needs experienced adopter -Prefers older children ####Meet Sky, a delightful female Alaskan Husky who weighs 32 pounds. Sky is full of energy and loves to get the zoomies in the backyard. She sometimes hops into the kiddie pool to cool her paws and has a playful streak, having once secretly stolen an old kitchen sponge from her foster parents to excitedly toss around the yard. Sky is fascinated by animals and bugs, with a special interest in squirrels, birds, butterflies, moths, and flies. Being outside is her favorite activity, where she can enjoy plenty of yard time with a securely fenced yard. She is still working on leash training but will likely enjoy long walks once she's more comfortable. Though Sky is very shy and skittish when first meeting new people, she warms up over time. She is cautious around strangers but is eager to learn that humans can be trusted. Sky would thrive in a home with other confident dogs who can show her the ropes and reassure her that humans are safe. She also needs a family where people are home more often than not, as she gets anxious when left alone for too long. Are you ready to provide a loving and understanding home for Sky? With your patience and care, this playful and curious Husky will blossom into a loyal and joyful companion. ---------- Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. Because some of our dogs are very under socialized, they may not be a good fit for young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Some of our more fearful dogs will do best in a home with another dog and a securely fenced yard. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, many of these dogs come around with patience and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.
