Good Morning, Skye!

Skye is sitting (not so) calmly for her morning biscuit.  She really wants someone to love, but she just keeps being overlooked!  She is not too happy about this boarding situation.  She loves the staff, but she is accustomed to the finer things in life.  She is excitable when you get her out of the cage but, give her some time, she will settle.  She just doesn't understand why she is here.

She gets very excited to go on walks and to run around the off-leash trail.

And, once you are out there, she never wants to leave your side.  She is content to lay beside you f you are sitting or strut next to you if you are strolling.  She is such an amazing dog.  She is so soft, like velvet, and sweet as a cinnamon roll.

Skye at the Shelter

It has been stressful for Skye to board at the shelter, but she is in a safe place with people who dearly love her.  The trainer that has worked with her from the time she came in until now has had the chance to work with her again, which Skye loves.  She has enjoyed seeing the staff members that love her and going out on the offleash trail with them.

We know she is not as comfortable in her home because she pulls on the leash and directs us towards the gate, but we know that, in her foster home, she does not pull like she does here.  They have worked very hard with her.  She whimpers when she first gets out of her kennel and puts on quite the show of exuberance.  She also jumps and bounces around in her kennel when new people come by.  The other day she managed to escape her outdoor run just to be beside me.  She did not want me to leave her alone.

That being said, she has settled with us on the trail.  She has calmed down when we take her out.  She has responded well to her training.  I know she will be excited to see her foster mom, but we are so hoping that her forever family will come out to meet her and fall in love.  It would be best for them to meet her a couple times and then she could go home to say goodbye before making the transition into a permanent home.  We would love to surprise Elizabeth and Jon!  But, more than that, this girl has come a long way, and she deserves to have a home of her very own.

Atlanta Intown

I am a little late on posting this to her blog, but here is the beautiful girl in Atlanta Intown.  She is so famous!

Visit Skye at PAWS Atlanta for the Next Two Weeks!

Skye is staying in the clinic for awhile while her foster parents are out of town.  Now would be a great time to come and meet her to see if she is a good match for your family!  Skye does great with other pups, and she gets really attached to the people who care for her--women in particular.

While Skye waits for her forever family, we will be enjoying quality time on the offleash area.  If you or anyone you know is interested in meeting Skye call Laura at lmckelvey@pawsatlanta.org.  Or, if it is in the next two weeks, just come out to the shelter!

Skye Update!

Skye has been doing great in foster care, and she has really bonded strongly to Elizabeth.  We have learned a lot about her personality that we did not know at the shelter.  And we have learned that there are even more reasons than we thought to adopt her! 

• Skye is fairly easy to bathe.  She is patient and does not put up a fight.
• She LOVES riding in the car, as she knows that when she gets in the car with Elizabeth she is usually going somewhere fun.
• She cannot get enough tennic ball time.  She really enjoys retrieving them, and she is also good about taking turns with her foster brother, Parker.
• She is a huge snugglebug and wants nothing more than to be near her person.
• She really enjoys going on walks in the morning and the second she sees a leash she is waiting by the door, ready to go.  She does check in with Elizabeth often on walks and has learned not to pull nearly as much on the leash.
• She has met a lot of dogs and seems to really enjoy being in their company. 

We have also learned that Skye is afraid of thunderstorms.  She does not hurt anything or make a lot of noise.  She just curls up in a tight ball and shivers or hides in a dark corner.  She is still timid with a lot of men, including Jon who is helping foster her, but she does like some men right off.  It is unclear what she sees in some people that she does not see in others.  She is not aggressive with them but will try to get away or sometimes bark to let you know that she is nervous. 

Skye went on her first hike a few weeks ago and was introduced to water.  She slowly gained her bravery and was willing to bounce around in the shallow water, chasing sticks.  This little girl has learned so much with Elizabeth and Jon, but it is time for her to find a permanent home.  Please share her blog with your friends and family and ask them to do the same.  Someone will be very lucky to be loved by this little girl!
