About Sky

Hi everyone - This is Sky. She's ~8 years old, lab mix. We took her in almost a year ago as a foster from a friend, and for the most part having her be part of our home and family has been wonderful. She is an absolute LOVE and wants more than anything to spend time with people. She doesn't have much training, but is flawless with her house manners and tries very hard to be respectful. The friend we got her from had taken her through a basic training course in Tucson, and she would both love and greatly benefit from continuing that work. The downsides: Sky has had a very hard life. She has spent most of her life walking through the revolving doors of PACC in Tucson (we are at least her 6th home), clearly comes from abusive homes, and has a bite history - I suspect mostly trauma induced. We don't see much of this behavior in our home, overwhelmingly Sky is gentle, loving, sweet and polite, but it has happened. We have three other dogs, and while she gets along well with both of our male dogs, there is ample tension between her and our canine matriarch, and she does NOT do well meeting new dogs. With our experience, we have been able to manage, but think it would be best for Sky to be in a home that doesn't have other animals. I have also had two instances with her where she has nipped at me when she feels she is being overcorrected. Because of this, we also wouldn't recommend a home with children. Finally, we live on a farm, and Sky LOVES being able to run and check out our property. But her recall isn't great, and she is highly prey driven - neither of which are conducive to our lifestyle (or the safety of the livestock we raise). A fenced yard and no small animals would be best for Sky. This girl is WONDERFUL and we cannot stress that enough. Everyone who meets her, loves her. She is silly, playful, snuggly, and wants nothing more than to be someone's constant companion. She is amazing in the car, in the house, has never destroyed anything in our home. She loves toys, treats, eats well, and wants to make her people happy. Here's what we are looking for in a home: - No dogs/cats/other animals - No small children - No apartment/townhome/shared housing (Sky does bark and had to be surrendered before due to pending eviction from an apartment) - VERY secure, fenced yard - Somewhat active home (Sky loves walks, hikes, camping, and being outside!) We are not looking for a rehoming fee. We just want her to find a good home and we need to restore some balance to ours. We will not surrender her to PACC or other rescues/shelters due to her poor experiences and anxiety in those spaces. We were able to get her off all behavioral medications without issue. She is very healthy and has much life ahead of her, and we want her to spend her golden years filled with love in a permanent home of her very own. She deserves it. She would come with all her goodies: a leash, treats, blanket, toys, bowls, and a million kisses for her new family.
