Meet the fabulous Skye! 🌟 This stunning 8-month-old, 40-pound red and white Australian Shepherd/Collie mix is ready to steal hearts and charm her way into a loving forever home! Just look at that freckled nose, the dramatic black eyeliner, and her fluffy tail with a delightful white tip — truly, she’s the diva of the dog park! 💖 Skye is sweetness personified! This affectionate girl is not only crate trained but also bursting with vibrant puppy energy! 🐾 At her young age, she brings a spirit of playfulness that guarantees endless fun! But hold on tight, because this ball of joy will need ample exercise, loads of patience, and a sprinkle of training reinforcement to help her blossom into the well-mannered companion she's meant to be. Active adults and perhaps older children will be her best fit, especially since she's got some jumping skills that could rival a kangaroo! 🦘 What does she love? Strolling through the neighborhood and exploring every exciting scent along the way! 🚶‍♂️ After burning off some of that infectious energy, Skye is also a cuddle expert, ready to snuggle up during those cozy winter nights. Imagine a fluffy blanket and Skye by your side — pure bliss! ❄️💤 While she’s sharp and smart, as every young pup is, she’ll thrive with continued basic training. Think of it as a fun project for both of you! 🌈 Skye's journey to find her forever home started in a rural shelter in North Carolina. One can only imagine how she felt wondering why her family didn’t come for her. 💔 But don't fret! Now under the loving care of PetConnect, she’s making her way into the DC area, ready to find a family that will give her all the love and attention she deserves!
