Allow me to introduce Skye, the radiant soul who's ready to be your loyal, sensitive adventure buddy! 🌤️ Skye, a 9-year-old Australian Shepherd, is not just a pretty face; she’s got a gentle spirit and an intelligence that will leave you in awe. This shy yet sweet girl has a heart that yearns to bond deeply with her human, transforming into a wonderfully devoted companion once she feels safe in your presence. Now, what does this beautiful creature adore? Think of her favorite pastime: a delightful game of fetch with her beloved tennis ball! 🎾 But that's just the beginning. After a vigorous round of play, there's nothing she enjoys more than curling up for a cozy hangout with her favorite person. At this stage in her life, Skye thrives on a balanced routine that includes daily walks, exciting ball-chasing escapades, and mental challenges that tickle her brain—yes, treat puzzles are her jam! 🧠 Not to mention, she's medium-energy and always ready for an adventure, especially when her beloved human is by her side. Skye is fully house-trained, crate-trained, and a champion leash walker. She’s quick to respond to commands like “leave it” and “focus,” always striving to make the best choices, despite her occasional nervousness. To help with her anxiety, Skye takes daily Fluoxetine, and let me tell you, it works wonders! Though she is not destructive when left alone, Skye craves companionship and truly flourishes with someone who is home often. This sensitive girl is protective of her space; quick movements or unfamiliar guests can cause her anxiety, and she might resort to a little herding behavior by nipping at heels! Because of this, a calmer home with fewer visitors, and no young children, would be ideal. She can live alongside other calm dogs and cats, but prefers a slow introduction and tends to keep to herself. A yard for her to frolic in would be an absolute dream, too! Skye's perfect match is someone patient, gentle, and deeply understanding—someone who appreciates her quirks, respects her personal boundaries, and revels in her incredible loyalty. With the right person by her side, she is affectionate, playful, and more than ready to shower you with love. 💛 So, if you're on the lookout for a smart, soulful companion who will adore you endlessly and be right there with you on all your meaningful adventures, Skye might just be the perfect match for you! 🌤️💛 Remember, dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
