Colorado Springs, CO

Description:

#### Sky, a delicate 2-year-old Alaskan Husky weighing 32lbs, navigates the world with a tender heart and a yearning for connection. Her anxious nature reveals her sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of a nurturing and understanding environment.Sky loves to go outside with her dog friends and enjoys running and playing with them. She enjoys cooling off in the kiddie pool in the summer time. She is highly food motivated, so treats will be instrumental in building trust with her. Toys also seem to be a way to her heart - she loves to frolic around with a stuffed toy in her mouth! Sky is an active dog, so physical and mental exercise are vital to relieving her anxiety while she learns how to navigate this big, strange world! In her search for a forever home, Sky's need for another dog companion is essential. Their presence provides her with the reassurance and support she craves, helping her navigate the challenges of daily life. Sky can be a little socially awkward with new dogs, so potential adopters will need to bring their dogs to her meet and greet to ensure it is a good fit for everyone.For Sky's safety and enjoyment, a 5ft solid fence is required as she is not yet leash trained and is a flight risk. This will allow her to explore the outdoors while remaining secure. She will do best in a home with no young children, as loud noises and sudden movements can be scary to her.Sky's journey to self-assuredness may be gradual, but her potential for growth is undeniable. With the right care and companionship, she's likely to blossom and find her place in a loving family. Her friends at NMDR see her potential to become a goofy, carefree dog and hope she can find the right home to give her that opportunity.If you're prepared to provide a patient and compassionate space for a gentle and anxious soul, Sky is ready to embark on a journey of healing and companionship with you. Apply at nmdr.org and let Sky's story of transformation begin with you! --------------------------------------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.
