Skye - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Stewart Manor, New York

Meet gorgeous little Skye! This little cutie is almost eight weeks old, weighs in at around nine pounds and is one sweet little girl, but also has a touch of spunk and sass!

Mama is a cattle dog/border collie mix and based upon her coat I would suspect dad had border collie and Australian Shepherd in his genes. She is a beauty and has the cutest little leaf shape on her head! She is becoming more active as she gets a bit older so I would suspect she will need a good amount of play time and will most likely enjoy a good game of tug and ball based upon her interest in toys.

She is also very keen on treats so I would suspect she is going to be a very treat motivated young lady. Her temperament is good so far and she has been handled by adults and kids. She loves exploring in the outdoor puppy pen on warm sunny days, but still takes many naps. She and her siblings weaned very easily from mama and they are now eating kibbles soaked in warm water mixed with moist puppy food.

She has been dewormed, microchipped and has had her first round of vaccines. If you have any questions about Skye email mrulffe@gmail.com.

Skye is being fostered in Canton, NY. Complete an Application: https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application
