Skittles

Hi! I’m Skittles — a sweet, playful pup who’s learning just how wonderful the world can be. I used to think everything was a little suspicious, but I’ve discovered that toys are fun, people can be kind (especially when they have treats), and kiddie pools are basically the best invention ever. I’m curious, goofy, and full of personality once I feel safe.

Dogs are my happy place. I absolutely love other dogs and would be over the moon to have a playful canine sibling in my forever home. I take my role as “enthusiastic little sister” very seriously — I start games, steal toys, and invite everyone to play (sometimes loudly 😄). Having another dog around helps me feel confident, safe, and ready to take on the world.

With people, I’m still learning. I’m not a cuddly lap dog just yet — I prefer to show my love through games, following you around, and learning fun tricks (my favorite is touching your hand with my nose for treats!). I’ll happily work and play with you, but I ask that physical affection be gentle and on my terms while I build trust.

Ideal Home

A home without children is best for me. I need calm, patient humans who understand that I warm up at my own pace. I’d also do best in a home without cats, since my chase instinct is pretty strong. A securely fenced yard is a must for me to play, explore, bark happily, and chase the occasional garden snake.

Ongoing Health

I am currently on anxiety medication and will need to stay on it.

Training & Support

I’m not ready for leash walks yet — we’re working on positive associations with collars, harnesses, and leashes, but pressure still makes me nervous and I could try to run if I panic. I’m crate trained and also do just fine being loose in the house.
