About Sky

This could be the start of something paw-some. Sky is a sweet girl who is very loyal to her people. She might seem a little nervous at first—she’ll tuck her tail and prefers to stay in her own space when meeting new faces—but just give her a little time, and her warmhearted side shines through. Once comfortable, Sky will be by your side, tail wagging nonstop, ready for all the companionship you can give. She absolutely loves going for walks—just the sight of her harness gets her whole body wiggling in excitement, and she can't wait for stroll time! Sky should be in a home without children, but she can get along well with other dogs if introduced properly. Plus, she’s a big fan of pup cups; her joy is obvious in her adorable photos. Adoption is the new adventure! Ready to roll?
