About Skittles
Skittles is a vibrant 8-month-old dog with a happy disposition, weighing 42 lbs. Currently being transported to Massachusetts, she has already charmingly settled into her foster home. She is doing remarkably well with house training and crate training, yet she still needs some improvement on her leash walking skills. This fun-loving girl thrives in active households and can happily coexist with playful dogs and children over the age of 10. She's energetic and loves to run and play catch, even if she’s a bit stubborn about bringing the ball back. Skittles enjoys her treats, adores cuddling, and there’s nothing she likes more than ice cubes on a hot day. While she is still mastering commands like sit and lay down, she's making progress every day. Skittles would suit a home with strong, adult supervision—she could easily knock over younger kids due to her strength. She will be ready for adoption in North Dartmouth on July 17th. Skittles is looking for a forever family that understands the joy and responsibility of having a dog. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
