Sky - Tyne & Wear

MAY 2019:   URGENT HOME REQUIRED DUE TO A CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.    

Can anyone please help Sky. Her current foster dad took her in an emergency, but a few months went into several and he's since had a baby and is struggling with trying to look after his young family as well as work and so on. She’s a lovely older girl, very active and happily living with a male dog.

Sky was at risk of being PTS, her elderly owner who loved her dearly was going into a nursing home and we had 2 weeks to find Sky a home. Sky had various issues and needed help feeling relaxed around other people (only spent time with her elderly owner) and socialising with other dogs.

Dave our volunteer throw her a lifeline and over the past 6 months has worked with her so she is now in a better place to move onto her forever home. 

This is what Dave had to say about Sky : When I first picked Sky up she was very nervous and unsure of anyone, she could be quite reactive with other dogs and some strangers but she’s a lot better after spending time with my boy Hendricks, they get on very well together so she would be suited to either an only dog home or with other dogs. 

She walks well on a lead but can still react to other dogs sometimes (off the lead I’ve not seen any bother and she usually just plays with other dogs and can be recalled from them) she’s quite a small girl and still on the thin side but is still fit and active for an 9 year old, I've even had her out following the mountain bike! My Nephew whose 9 has spent time with her with no issues and she has also been around younger children (approx 4yr old).
