A volunteer writes:  What a wiggle butt!   So happy to see me stop in front of her kennel leash in hand, Skye wiggle waggles with the excitement of it all and out we go.  Going potty immediately confirms she’s housetrained as her previous owners advised.   Skye lived with young kids and a cat and with both she was relaxed and playful.  We’re told she’s high energy, loves to play with toys and balls, doesn’t mind a bath and knows ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’ and ‘give paw’.  What a smart girl!   She ‘shook paw’ with me and is so cute, giving my hand a little kiss when we “shook”.    Skye pulls slightly on the leash, was a rockstar being tethered for photos, and amused herself for quite some time playing with a toy in the backyard.   We’re also told that she’s playful with other dogs, and her wiggle butt and excited tail wag as other dogs approached our pen confirms that.  In her first group she greeted another female politely.  What nice manners she has!   Skye is fun, smart, engaging, and active, looking for a new home in which she’ll get lots of exercise, lots of play time and lots of mental stimulation.   This is a little girl, beautifully cared for, who needs to exercise her brain as well as her body.    Come meet Miss Skye today.

PROFILE :

Skye is a 1 year old Pit bull. Her previous owners bought her from a breeder as a puppy but had to surrender her because she is destructive with household items. Skye has no known injuries or health problems and the last time she went to the vet was April 23,2015. The two things her previous owner liked most about her were; she’s very friendly and listens well.

Social Life and Personality:
Around children ages 4 and 8 Skye is relaxed and playful and when she plays she is exuberant. Around other dogs she is also playful and exuberant at play. Skye lived in her previous home with a cat and she was relaxed and playful with her as well. Skye is house trained and rarely has accidents indoors. She has a very high activity level and can be described as playful, confident, excitable, affectionate and friendly.

Behavior:
Skye destroys stuff indoors. She has never attempted to bite a person or animal. If her previous owner touched her bowl while eating she is friendly, she wags her tail and continues to eat. Her previous owner never attempted to take a treat from her. Skye is playful if a toy is taken away from her or if she is pushed off the furniture. She is friendly when given a bath. She isn’t bothered if her nails are trimmed. Her previous owner has never attempted to brush her coat. She is friendly if she is held/restrained. She is playful if unfamiliar person approached her home or previous owner. She isn’t bothered if she is disturbed while sleeping.

For a New Family to Know:
Skye knows sit, come, drop it, stay and give paw. For exercise she played in the yard 4-5 times a day. She likes to play with balls, squeaky toys, stuffed toys and her favorite games are fetch and tug. She is crate tried and does well for 2-3 hours. When her previous owner was home she would tend to follow her around. When left alone she destroyed household items. She was never left alone in the yard. When off leash Skye wanders but comes when called. She ate dry Pedigree and at night she slept in her bed.
