Blue Sky

My story

There is an adorable video of me on Instagram! Click here to experience the cuteness! What my friends at ACC say about me:I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I would do best in a home with only adult humans.I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together!I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me.A staff member writes: Blue Sky is a sweet and curious boy who loves his walks and exploring new scents. He greets you with a soft, friendly body and is easy to leash up. On walks, he can pull moderately toward interesting sniff spots but always comes when called and gently takes treats. At the start of his walks, Blue Sky may jump up on you in excitement, but with patience and treats, he quickly learns to settle down. Blue Sky responds well to commands like "sit" and is eager to please. Blue Sky would do best in a patient home that can help him continue building confidence and good manners. Come meet this smart pup today!My #BoroughBreak Buddy Writes: Adopt Blue Sky (ID 220930) from the Animal Care Center of Manhattan. Around 3 years old and 62 lbs, Blue Sky has been waiting for his forever family for longer than any dog should. He is confident and happy in the play yard but walks are extremely hard for him. He loves toys and will happily play and cuddle indoors but the streets he finds scary and overwhelming. He had no problem when I picked him up to carry him but, walking he was very fearful. He would do best with a family that has a small yard or outdoor area and help him build his confidence on leash and outside. A Volunteer writes: this playful, goofy, squeaky toy-loving, dog-friendly boy is my latest crush. He got spooked by a very, very loud and ferocious thunderstorm and insanely loud and obnoxious local fireworks earlier this summer, which scared the bejesus out of most of us, to be honest. Blue Sky is working up his courage to again take long street walks - ones he used to love to take - with the Behavior team, who are using selective pack walks to make Blue Sky brave again. Blue Sky is such a BIG AFFECTIONATE LOVE. He's been waiting over 190 days. Please take him home. Primary Color: Tiger Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 70 Age: 3yrs 7mths 0wks
