🐾 Sky – a gentle soul, learning to trust.

Sky arrived with her best friend, Chase. For a while, they stayed in a quiet dog hotel where she felt safe — even jumped into her caretaker’s lap. But when they moved to the shelter, everything changed. Chase was adopted. Sky wasn’t.

Since then, Sky has pulled back from people. She stays alert, barks when overwhelmed, and keeps her distance. But she hasn’t given up — humans are still a work in progress. She’s learning to take treats from gentle hands, and with consistency, she could learn so much more.

Around dogs, she’s different — relaxed, playful, even joyful. Especially with active, balanced companions who help her feel grounded.

Sky isn’t looking for constant attention. What she needs is space, structure, and someone who understands that progress is often quiet and gradual.

Sky would do best in:

A secure outdoor space
A routine that lets her observe, adjust, and engage at her own pace
A calm home with another well-balanced dog

She’s not for everyone. But if you know the quiet work of building trust, and believe in giving space over pushing for affection, Sky might be your kind of dog. If you have experience with fearful dogs or just a steady, low-pressure way of being, she might be a good match.

She’s not for everyone — but she could be right for you.
