About Sky

Meet Sky, one of a litter of adventurous 7-week-old puppies with a unique mix of Norwegian Elkhound, German Shepherd, and Australian Cattle Dog in her background. That blend means plenty of intelligence, loyalty, and a streak of playful curiosity. She's already showing a sharp mind, exploring the world with her siblings, and learning new things every day. Sky is looking for an active family that craves adventure—someone ready to continue her training and keep her busy, both physically and mentally. Her working-dog heritage calls for a structured home with plenty of exercise and mental challenges. She’ll do well in homes with school-age kids who understand puppies need guidance and positive boundaries. Sky gets along with other dogs, cats, and children, making her a great fit for multi-pet and family households. Before adoption, she’ll have received two sets of puppy vaccinations, be microchipped, dewormed, and have flea prevention taken care of. She’s ready to bond with a family willing to guide her as she grows into a devoted companion. Start your journey together! Apply now.
