You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sky (who we call Mango because she is super sweet) is a tiny (15 lbs) Australian Shepherd. Sky is a breeder-release mama who spent her whole life until she was rescued raising puppies and living in a small kennel. She has spent the last two months learning how to be a pet dog and is loving her new life. She was not used to ever being pet or carried, so is still hand-shy when you reach down, but she LOVES attention and loves to cuddle. She is smart and curious, and she picks things up quickly. She is playful and happy, although understandably nervous of new things. She is learning basic obedience, like sitting for a treat and how to walk on a leash.
Sky is crate trained and crated when noone is home, but barks at first when you leave (she stops pretty quickly, but may not work out great in a home with shared walls). She gets very, very excited when you come home. She is pretty housebroken on a schedule, but does not yet ask to go out. She will probably have a few accidents at first, but she doesn't have accidents overnight and does well during the day if you take her out every few hours. She loves toys and loves running around outside, although is very much a velcro dog and stays right by your side--inside and out. She is good with other dogs and cats. Probably not a good fit for little kids as they'd make her nervous but would be fine with older respectable kids who understand she will need time to come out of her shell. She is a great balance of playful lapdog--would be a fantastic companion to someone who is retired or works from home.
