Description:
If you are interested in Skye, please submit an application at https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCN. She would love to meet you! Skye is an adorable Pittie pup with soft, expressive eyes that will melt your heart. This pretty girl is gentle natured and has a sweet, affectionate personality. She can be unsure in new surroundings and may need a little encouragement with treats/toys & happy talk - but it doesn't take long for her to open up and be a silly, happy puppy. She's food motivated and will be an easy learner with someone that is dedicated to training. When excited, she may jump, but she's eager to please and redirects nicely with a verbal "off" and/or "sit". Surprisingly, she has good impulse control for a puppy, especially if food is involved. She has even learned to sit & wait patiently for her meals! She's doing great with her potty & crate training - she may whine at first in crate, but will usually settle and entertain herself with a toy or bone. She is learning leash manners with an Easy Walk harness. She also enjoys car. Skye loves playing with her foster siblings and would thrive with having a well-mannered, neutered male sibling to help teach and guide her. She would do ok as an only dog with a family that is committed to training, socialization and confidence building. She's been tested with a couple older, "dog tolerant" kitties and is respectful of them. She loves children and would be a wonderful family dog. Every dog has their story: Skye was posted as a "Free Puppy" on Craigslist and a BFPA volunteer happened to stumble across her ad. Knowing that the situation could possibly turn out bad for this little cutie, she scooped her up and reached out for assistance. Come to find out, before coming to BFPA, baby Skye was tossed from home to home (to no fault of her own). She was in 4 different homes during the first 4 months of her puppyhood. This poor girl never experienced stability during the most important time of her life. She is craving for someone to give her all the love & attention she's been needing. With a little patience, guidance and security, Skye will bond strong with her family and be a wonderful companion.
