Sky is a 2-year-old petite terrier mix that was abandoned in a cage outside the NAWS door. She was scared and confused – and is still a bit timid – but she’s making progress. Sky does well with other dogs with a slow introduction, and she’s even done well with cats. Once Sky feels safe, she sweet and affectionate. Sky needs a family with calm, older children. To meet Sky, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.
