HELP ME FIND A HOME
Are you right for Skye?
Skye does have ongoing medical and is looking for a low activity household that are happy to take her out for short easy walks. When not out on a walk she loves being in the garden, playing with her toys and sunbathing away so her new home will need to have a secure garden that she can call her own and relax in. Skye would like to be the only dog in the home but is able to meet dogs out and about. She cannot live with cats. The home should be able to separate her from the front door as she can get a bit overexcited with visitors and she can live with secondary school children. Skye is currently enjoying the comforts of a foster home and is not at the centre – if you would like any more information on this gorgeous girl please favourite her on application.
Is Skye right for you?
Meet Skye, an 8-year-old German Shepherd who is the sweetest girl going! Skye is such a happy girl who will always put a smile on your face. She loves a fuss, especially bum scratches and will make sure to ask for more if they’ve stopped! Skye loves tasty treats including eating her veggies and she especially loves her toys and will bring them to you to play. Skye can be worried in a veterinary environment and would like adopters who are happy to continue her confidence building and muzzling her for checks.
