About Skye

Skye is a five-month-old pup with a big heart for both people and other dogs. She comes alive when she has a canine companion nearby, drawing comfort and confidence from a friendly resident dog. For Skye, a home with at least one outgoing, social pup is a must—she truly thrives when she has a doggy best friend who can show her the ropes. Playfulness comes naturally to Skye. She's eager to learn and deeply affectionate, and, like any puppy, she’s still picking up the basics. With a patient family who's ready to welcome her energy and a dog sibling to help her settle in, Skye will find joy in everyday life. A securely fenced yard for safe play and humans who embrace her bouncy nature will set her up for success. If your home already has a welcoming dog and you see life as better with two pups instead of one, Skye could be the missing member of your family. Ready to fall in love?
