About Sky

Meet Sky, an adorable 4-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for her forever home! Weighing in at about 13 pounds, she’s the perfect little companion, bursting with personality. Sky is fully potty trained and gets along well with other dogs, making playtime a delight—fetch is her absolute favorite game! Because she's small, Sky should be leashed outside unless the yard is securely fenced. Like many Chihuahuas, she tends to be vocal and may bark at newcomers. However, once she feels safe, her affectionate nature shines through. Sky needs a family that understands her quirks and is patient enough to help her adjust, particularly around younger children, as her past experiences have made her cautious around little ones. A home with kids over 8 years would be ideal. This lovely girl has a stuffed elephant she adores and takes everywhere, so adopting Sky means making room for her treasured toy too! She's spayed and up to date on vaccinations. If you're seeking a loyal and playful companion full of love, Sky might just be the one for you. Ready to meet her?
