About Skye

Skye is a resilient and sweet girl who has bravely overcome a difficult start to her life. After being found severely emaciated, she spent four days at the vet to regain stability, and she has blossomed since arriving at the shelter. Now weighing about 40 pounds, Skye is eager to discover the joys of being a carefree dog without the worry of when her next meal will come. Her food motivation makes training simple, and she has shown a neutral demeanor towards most dogs, often ignoring them. While she may bark at new people, it's more of a hound-inspired bay, and she quickly warms up with a few treats. Skye's affectionate nature and goofy personality shine through, making her an ideal companion for someone ready to guide her in a loving home. If you're interested, Skye’s adoption fee is $400. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped, ready to start her new adventure in a warm and welcoming environment. Click apply to start the adoption process.
