• “Hello, I’m Skye. I’m a gentle soul. I love my mom, but have to warm up to strangers. In my past life, humans were not kind to me so I’m not always sure about them until I know they are ok. Sometimes it takes me a little while to decide. Don’t let that fool you though, I’m a happy dog and I love to run, play, go for rides and most of all, watch my mom. I’m a herding dog, so my job is to watch her, know where she is at all times and take care of her. I’m very good at my job! I had a very bad accident when I was homeless and as a result, I lost my left hind leg. No big deal. Mom calls me Skye the Wonder Dog, because being three legged doesn’t bother me much. I still jump high, run like the wind and swim like a fish! I am very sweet and love pets and belly rubs!“

  — Louise B.

• “Jealous!!! Sweet as ever, but whines like she’s in pain when we pet her sister and not her. Runs only when there’s food or a rodent to chase. Likes to bark and look scary but never mean to people. Doesn’t always understand how to play. Whines with jealousy when we throw a toy for her sister and she doesn’t want to chase the toy. lol“

  — Lovee O.

  — Leslie M.

• “Hello I'm Skye! I love running and digging and chasing and swimming. My recall is great until I see something interesting but I'm working on it. Sometimes I just sniff around and chew on grass. My best friends have been other dogs my size, but I'm good with small dogs who don't just act like rabbits Ann's big dogs wallop don't just throw their weight around. I like playing keep away with balls.“

  — Rebecca C.
