Full of Life!
Skye is a crossbreed (DNA testing has shown that she is over 60% Border Collie, about 25% Staffy and around 13% Greyhound).
Skye has loads of love to give and bags of energy! She loves a fuss and a cuddle from the people she knows. A kick around with a football in the paddock is her favourite pastime! She is settled in her kennel here at the centre. She travels well in a car.
This beautiful girl is deaf so has started learning her commands through hand signals. Skye has been tested by an audiologist. She can hear high frequecy sounds so we are begining whisle training. She is very clever so mental stimulation is a must.
Skye can be very unsure in new situations and doesn't always handle meeting new people well. If we felt you were a good match, you would need to meet Skye on sevral occasions to get to know her. We are working with Skye to help her be less anxious around new people.
Skye isn't for the faint hearted! She is going to take a lot of patience and understanding to help her with her anxiety but will repay you with so much love once she feels comfortable around you.
History
We have known Skye since a young puppy. Sadly the two homes she has had since she has been with us haven't worked out so she's hoping it'll be third time lucky!
Re-homing Criteria
Skye is looking for an active home where she will be given the time and help she needs to adjust to a new environment. A quiet, adult only, rural home where she isn't having to meet new people all the time would be ideal. Skye would enjoy a garden where she can safely play.
Skye has met cats in the past, but it wasn't a success, so a cat free household is a definite. Skye generaly gets on well with other dogs.
Although Skye sounds like a lot of work, she deserves a home. With patience, time and love from the right person, we know she will make a great companion.
We will provide guidance on meeting Skye's further training needs.
