About Sky

American Eskimo Dog / Spitz
Age: Senior
Sex: Female

My dog Sky is 13 years old. I adopted her from a shelter when she was 4 years old. They said she is a spitz mix but she looks very much like an American Eskimo and has many of the traits of that breed. She had been with a couple who worked all day and left her alone in an apt all day. She was not socialized. Then they abandoned her. When I adopted her they said she was not good with children but over the years she has learned to like small kids but gets nervous around kids that are loud or active so I am careful. She also doesn't like other dogs, especially if they approach her. She has stayed with other dogs and learned to tolerate them but can become aggressive when they approach her which I believe is out of fear. For her age she is very playful and active. She has chronic dry eye and is losing her vision. She has to have eye drops daily. I am her seeing eye person. She amazes me how she can adapt to strange places and how she follows commands. She is a very smart and loving companion. She tends to be shy and nervous around strangers but she warms up quickly. She is up to date on all her shots. We retired a few years ago and bought a sailboat. We planned to live and travel on the sailboat during the winter months. We hoped that Sky could come with us but it was too much for her. I am constantly worried that she will fall off the dock or the boat and getting off and on the boat is very difficult for her and us. We do have a dog life jacket but with the heat it isn't good. She had a hard time tolerating the heat. We are looking for someone who would like to open their home to my old girl while we are away on the boat. I don't want to give her up! I love her very much but we can't take her on the boat. I would provide food and all her needs. Anyone who has had this breed would understand how loving and devoted she is. I hope there is someone out there who can help.
