About Skyler

Meet Skyler! This sweet Australian Shepherd mix is about 50 lbs and is eagerly searching for her forever family. She adores people and has quickly bonded with kids, becoming their gentle playmate and biggest supporter. On her first walk to the elementary school, Skyler greeted everyone with a wagging tail. The kids absolutely loved her, and the affection was mutual. Skyler is house trained and crate trained, and she gets along great with other dogs. However, she does not get along with cats. Since joining her foster family, Skyler has mastered the stairs and discovered the comfort of dog beds, preferring them over cold kitchen floors. She comfortably spends her days as a silent office assistant, never interrupting meetings and accepting payment only in belly rubs. A true Aussie, she is smart and loves to stay close to her people — she thinks every family member should be within a 10-foot radius. When someone strays too far, she's quick to help usher them back. Skyler needs a secure yard with a 6-foot fence and a loving family. If you're seeking a loyal companion with a delightful personality and a bit of Aussie charm, Skyler could be your perfect match.
