Story
Meet Skye! 🐾
Breed: Chihuahua
Age: 10 months
Weight: 8.6 lbs
Personality Snapshot:
Skye is a sweet, affectionate little lady with a heart full of love—and a smile that will melt you! She bonds closely to her favorite person and thrives on companionship. While she’s initially shy around strangers, she’s never aggressive—she just warms up on her own schedule.
Good With:
Other small dogs (she enjoys playmates her size!)
People and older kids
Needs to Know:
Skye can be intimidated by larger dogs at first but warms up once she learns they’re safe.
She is not a fan of loud, young children.
Leash Training: Her foster mom is working on it… but honestly, it’s not going so hot!
Secure, physical fencing is a must. Skye is a determined door dasher and will take off if she’s spooked or if her person leaves the house. She needs a home where she is either crated or safely contained when unsupervised.
Potty trained: Skye needs her person to be with her in the yard—she won’t wander alone or go with other dogs.
Crate & Alone Time:
Will go into her crate willingly with a treat and sleeps quietly through the night.
May whine initially when left alone, and longer absences are stressful for her.
Best suited for a home where someone is around most of the day.
Fun Quirks:
Loves food (her true love language!)
Enjoys toys she can fit in her mouth
Energy level is low to moderate—perfect for snuggles and short play sessions
Her smile is irresistible
Skye may sound like a handful, but she is truly a charming, loving little girl who thrives with patience, consistency, and a safe, secure home.
Adoption Requirements:
Home with physical fencing
Someone home most of the day
Crate or safe playpen for unsupervised times

Please note:
The dog you’re applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network. Don’t worry though — we’re always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!)
