Please meet Scrumptious Skylar!

Sky is a 30-ish pound spayed female Sheltie who is less than two years old, and whose middle name is "Fetch!"

She adores playing fetch, although we haven't been able to play it anywhere but in the house, because the back yard's still covered in snow (and mud).

Sky is very sweet, and loves to get petted. (Of course, she'd prefer to play fetch!) She is in excellent health, and is a very smart young lady. She gets along with other dogs (has two foster-brothers and one foster-sister) and got along okay with a four-year-old little girl who visited over the weekend. Because Sky is very playful, we would prefer that she is adopted with a family who has older, rather than younger, kids. Sky was able to meet a cat when she went to the vet for her checkup and was curious, but the kitty wasn't much interested in getting to know Sky. 

Sky would be an excellent candidate for agility, but if you can't provide that, just a little bit of training would go a long way with her. She's very smart, and likes to please, and has a wonderful life ahead of her!

We require a completed application for you to be considered for adoption.   Young dogs need young and active families.  Skylar is one of those dogs that needs humans who will keep her busy and keep her mind active as well with teaching obedience skills and tricks.  She could dazzle your friends with how smart a Sheltie can be!  Wow!

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
