About Skye

She knows the sit command and is currently learning the wait command, especially since she's very eager for snacks. Skye is spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. Her new family will need a secure, fenced yard for playtime safety. The adoption fee is $250, dedicated to her vet expenses.
