About Sky

Sky is a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix who brings warmth and curiosity wherever he goes. In his run, he shows a bit of spunk, but once he's out, his sweet side takes over. You'll often find him with his nose to the ground and his tail wagging, eagerly exploring new surroundings. He approaches new experiences with caution, but a bit of praise and a tasty treat quickly win him over. Don't skip the mandatory butt scratches; he loves them! It's worth noting that Sky can be picky when it comes to dog friends. He seems to get along well with some pals here at the shelter, but a meet and greet is essential to ensure the right fit. He's unknown with cats, so a calm, dog-savvy feline would be best. This spirited boy would thrive in a home with kids aged 8 and up. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
