Sky's Story

Meet Sky, a sweet Pointer/Heeler mix who is approximately 1 year old and eagerly looking for her forever home. Sky is an absolute sweetheart who thrives on indoor life, loving nothing more than snuggling up, finding cozy spaces with blankets, and staying close to her humans. She is wonderful with kids, completely adores the teenagers in her foster home, and especially loves her stuffies, treating them with incredible gentleness. In the home, she is quiet, well-behaved, house-trained, does fairly well in a crate, and walks nicely on a leash once she settles into her routine. While she can occasionally be a bit jumpy around sudden noises or unfamiliar surroundings, Sky is learning that she is safe and continues to blossom with a little consistency, reassurance, and ideally a secure fenced yard. During her intake, she showed off her curious and friendly nature when she was loose-her happy, relaxed body language made it clear she was eager to trot over and say hello to a couple of puppies she spotted, and she will be getting more formally dog-tested soon. Sky is making great progress on her medical care: she is microchipped, partially up to date on her vaccines, and getting scheduled for her spay appointment. She did test positive for Lyme, which is very manageable-yearly bloodwork checks levels to determine whether it remained dormant or simply needs a quick course of routine medication. Sky has shown every sign of being a gentle, affectionate, and social companion. She is so ready to bring endless love and snuggles to a patient family who will give her the wonderful life she deserves.<br/><br/>Sky's adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue's care. <br/>We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org
