HOUSTON, TX: *Please Share!*13 year old Sky is an all around family guy. He is loyal, playful and loves everyone. Until this past year, Sky was with his former family for his entire life. Unfortunately, his parents separated, then his dad became ill and moved into an assisted living facility, and Sky was left home alone until he was rescued. Sky's main needs are making sure he gets his two medications a day and stays on his prescription food diet. Overall, Sky and his needs are fairly simple. What he really needs most is love! PLEASE SHARE!

His parents separated, his mom moved out of state, and Sky stayed with his dad. Sadly, his dad became seriously ill and moved into an assisted living facility. Sky was left living 'home alone.' Luckily we found out, and got him back into our program.
Sky is 35 lbs, and a sweet and friendly guy! He gets along with everyone he meets, both humans and canines. Sky is a gentleman with very good manners. He loves to go on walks, snuggle on the couch, and get yummy treats. He lives with a young foster pup and loves to play too! Sky's love is contagious with his charming personality, deep brown soulful eyes, and sweet kisses. Sky would be fine with children, probably 12 and older who have lived with a dog before. He is gentle and sweet, just wanting to make sure any children would respect him as he ages.
Sky has a condition known as gallbladder mucocele which is life-threatening if not treated, and can require surgical removal of the gallbladder. Sky recently had another check-up and the great news is he is reacting very positively to the medicines and special diet, and his vet has decided that at this time surgery is not necessary! Sky just takes 2 medicines a day and eats a prescription low-fat food. Sky has had a full checkup including vaccines, bloodwork, dental, etc., and was deemed otherwise healthy.
We use a transport company that goes from Houston, TX to the Northeast, but getting Sky to other parts of the US might be hard, unless the adopter comes to Houston."
