About Skye

Skye is a 1 1/2-year-old female Basset Hound/Beagle mix who clocks in at just 27 lbs, making her a manageable, medium-sized companion. She arrived at the shelter as a stray with three others and, understandably, is very shy at first. Given a little patience, though, her playful side comes through and she opens up to all the attention she can get. Skye gets along great with other dogs and should fit right in with a family who has children—she’d probably thrive in a lively household. Her demeanor shifts from reserved to affectionate once she’s comfortable, so expect a bit of a warm-up period. If you’re looking for a fun-loving and gentle addition, Skye could be a great match.
