Skyy - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Milton, Delaware

Dog Name: Skyy

Breed: mixed

Sex: Female

Age: DOB 1/3/26

Weight: 30 lbs



Medical Needs: none



Housebroken: yes, but she cannot go more than 5 hours in the crate. If you try to push her longer you'll have accidents. She's just a babyyyy



Crate trained: yes, it takes a little bit of routine but she goes right in her crate now for bedtime and “work naps” (when foster mom goes to work).



Good in the car: yes, Skyy loves car rides once she's in the car. She is still a little timid about hopping up into them and needs to be picked up.



Good on a leash: she's a fun mix of “let's go for a walk” and “I don't feel like it so I refuse to move”. We are working on building her obedience and she's doing great learning when to keep walking, even when she'd rather be back home on a couch



Energy level: medium-high. She's just a babyyyy



Dog Friendly: yes, every dog is an immediate friend



If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No



Cat Friendly: Yes, but if they run or move she will chase them. She thinks the younger ones are here to wrestle with, even though they don't agree with her



Kid Friendly: Yes

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Old enough to understand that she is still learning not to jump, and has puppy nibbles and playtime to get out of her system.



Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about:

Skyy is the cutest, friendliest teen-puppy you'll ever meet. Her brown doe eyes will also give you the most severe side eye you've ever seen, and try to get her forgiven from all her teen stubbornness on her leash training



She's a fun mix of rambunctious and cuddly, and will be the best sweet treat you've ever gotten yourself!



Fosters Location: Dover, DE

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
