Meet Skye! If you're looking for a dog that's always ready for the next adventure, Skye is your girl! This beautiful 1-year-old Cattle Dog mix is smart, affectionate, and bursting with energy. She absolutely loves being with her people and has the kind of personality that makes every day a little more exciting. But make no mistake, Skye is looking for more than just a home. She's looking for a job, a purpose, and a family ready to embrace her active lifestyle. Skye is incredibly friendly with people and enjoys attention from everyone she meets. She's easy to handle, walks nicely on leash, and already knows `sit` and `down.` Like many young working breeds, though, she has a short attention span and will thrive with continued obedience training, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. This energetic girl will need both physical exercise and mental enrichment every single day. Puzzle toys, training sessions, hiking adventures, scent work, agility, or other activities that keep her mind busy will help her become the best version of herself. One thing Skye's future family should know is that she's an escape artist. She's incredibly clever and has a talent for finding ways out of yards if left unattended. Because of this, Skye cannot be left outside alone and will need an owner who is committed to supervising outdoor time and keeping her safely engaged. She wants to be where her people are anyway! Skye has lived with children and has a very sweet nature with people. When meeting other dogs, she can be selective. She may initially do well but may become uncomfortable when play becomes too intense, so a dog-to-dog meet is required if there is another dog in the home. She may ultimately be happiest as your one-and-only adventure buddy. Skye isn't a dog who wants to spend her days alone in a backyardâshe wants to hike beside you, learn new tricks, explore new places, and be your loyal partner in whatever life brings. With the right structure, exercise, and love, this bright young girl has all the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion. If you're ready for an intelligent, energetic best friend who's happiest by your side, Skye is ready to meet you.
