About Skyler

Skyler came to Florida all the way from Detroit, rescued along with two buddies after a rough start. He arrived in rough shape and had to be shaved, but his coat is now growing back and you can already see his striking red and white coloring. Despite everything, he’s kept a sweet temperament. He’s the kind of husky who’ll trail after you, eager for cuddles, praise, and a steady supply of treats. The folks at the sanctuary say he’s a genuinely good boy. Skyler is friendly, loyal, and waiting for a family to show him what real love means. He gets along with dogs and is good with children, but cats aren’t a match for him. He’s house trained, up to date on vaccines, and already neutered. Skyler’s ready to leave the past behind and become someone’s loyal companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
