About Sky

Sky was recently returned to the shelter when her family could no longer care for her. She received lots of love in her previous home and is now looking for another chance at a forever family. Though she is a bit timid, having a more confident dog around can help her find her footing. Sky enjoys walks and loves running in the play yard. She previously lived with a young child and got along well with them. During a meet-and-greet at the shelter, she did fine with a tester cat, but a slow, supervised introduction to any resident cats is recommended. Sky is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. She’s ready to find her place in a loving home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
