My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sky, a gentle, sweet pup who loves balls and enjoys playing fetch. She may be shy around new people, but once she feels safe and has time to build trust, her true personality begins to shine. Sky thrives in a home that understands her boundaries and body language, giving her the space she needs to feel secure while offering love, patience, and gentle guidance.

Sky has a calm, thoughtful personality and truly enjoys quiet companionship. She finds comfort in being near her people and doesn’t need to be the center of attention to feel happy just knowing you’re close is enough. As she warms up, Sky becomes incredibly sweet and affectionate in her own subtle ways. She may lean in for a gentle kiss, quietly curl up beside you, or rest close by to show her love and trust.

Once Sky bonds with someone, that connection is meaningful and special. She is looking for a patient, understanding, and quiet home with someone who will take the time to learn her cues and respect her needs. With the right person, Sky will flourish into a loyal, loving companion who offers a deep, gentle kind of affection that makes every moment together feel rewarding.

If you are interested in Sky, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
