Sky is a beautiful 4-year-old Staffordshire Terrier/Red Heeler mix weighing about 60 pounds. She has a gentle, calm, and loyal personality that makes her a wonderful companion. Sky walks beautifully on a leash without pulling and enjoys simply being by your side. She is leash trained, crate trained, and fully house trained, making her an easy addition to a loving home. One of Sky's best qualities is her calm demeanor around other animals. She does not react to cats, squirrels, or similar small animals while out on walks, making her a pleasure to take anywhere. Sky was rescued from the streets of Houston, TX, along with several of her siblings after they were abandoned as puppies. Thanks to her rescue, she has had the chance to discover what love and security feel like. Now she is ready to find a forever family that will give her the stable, patient, and loving home she deserves. If you're looking for a calm, faithful companion who will happily share life's quiet moments with you, Sky may be the perfect match.
Ideal Home
Sky can be a little nervous around strangers and may need a little time to feel comfortable with new people. Families that enjoy outdoor activities, have a fenced backyard, and experience in dog behavior and training are ideal. Adopters should have an open mind about the needs of rescued street animals and possess high tolerance and patience.
Ongoing Health
Sky has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated (DHPPI, Rabies, Bordetella), and dewormed. She has a negative heartworm test and a health certificate.
Training & Support
Sky is leash trained, crate trained, and fully house trained. However, the listing notes that it is impossible to house-train every rescued pet due to the high number of animals needing care. Potential adopters should be prepared for some ongoing training and education.
