Story
Meet Skye!Skye is a beautiful young mama who has finished raising her puppies and is now ready to find a forever home of her very own. We have her listed as an Australian Kelpie, but she may also be mixed with Blue Heeler based on her personality and appearance. Like Blue Heelers and other herding breeds, Skye enjoys her exercise and has medium-to-high energy levels.Skye loves toys, enjoys playtime (including a game of fetch) and is just as happy settling in for a good cuddle. Skye walks great on a leash, but does like to stop and sniff! She loves doing puzzles, lick mats and doing nosework before bed. Skye is housetrained, but will tear up a blanket if she gets bored. She is very quiet in her kennel and will go right in with a treat. Skye is a very smart girl - she knows some basic commands: sit, stay, lay down and leave it. We are still working on off and tap. She has also completed a few training classes at Zoom Room!She did best with a slow, thoughtful introduction to the resident dogs in her previous foster home. After a week or two, once routines were in place - including separate feeding and managing high-value toys - she did well with them. Once she settled in, she enjoyed playing and wrestling with a foster puppy, sharing toys and even playing tug-of-war with her. Skye does have some unpredictable resource guarding behaviors. She is slighly reactive to other dogs, but this has improved with training. Her foster mom is still keeping a watchful eye to find out potential triggers. Now that she is in a different foster home, she loves to be the center of attention and would probably do best as an only dog. Skye does like kids and seems to understand that she should be gentle with little ones. However, her rough and rowdy playstyle suggests she may knock littles over when playing. Throwing toys around is very fun for her.Because of her playful energy, she may do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children. When excited, Skye has previously mouthed on hands or tries to herd feet, but we have mostly stopped this behavior with some training. Skye would really enjoy an active home. She loves going on walks and playing outside. Because she is a younger, high energy girl, we are requiring a fence for her at this time. She will get wound up without enough exercise. Skye is working on becoming her best self with training and thriving in her foster home, but would love her forever home. If you ar

Story
Panda came to AHeinz57 with her puppies all the way from OK. The puppies have been adopted so it is now her turn.Panda is an almost 2-year-old cattle dog mix with a playful spirit and a gentle soul. She’s fully housebroken and doesn’t need to be kenneled - she’s a respectful housemate who just wants to be part of the family. Panda lives with two dog and two cat siblings and gets along great with them. She especially loves playing with her husky cousin and tends to gravitate toward bigger dogs when it’s time to romp around. While she’s made huge strides in her foster home, Panda is still a bit skittish and takes her time warming up to new people. It took about six months for her to fully trust her foster family, but now she rewards them with cuddles, belly rub requests and lap dog snuggles. Once she bonds with you, she’s incredibly sweet and loyal.Panda is a vocal girl who loves to run, jump, and explore the backyard. She enjoys walks and adores car rides, though she’s not a fan of getting in the car (a little coaxing helps!). She’s also a bit of an escape artist and will bolt out the front door if given the chance, so a secure, fenced-in yard and a single-family home would allow her to be her best self. She’s protective of her yard and sometimes needs a little encouragement to come back inside.Loud noises can startle her, so a calm, patient home where she can continue to build confidence would be ideal. We`d also recommend older children for Panda since she can be startled easily. Panda listens well, loves being outside, and is happiest when she’s running free or soaking up affection from her trusted humans.A meet and greet with all residents (furry and human) will be required to ensure that Panda feels safe and comfortable in her forever home. Panda is a very sweet girl that is just looking for her future family that will be patient with her. If you are interested in Panda, you can fill out an application to meet her on our website.
