The sky’s the limit with Skye! Fun, sweet, calm, and friendly, she enjoys playing both independently and with people. When she’s not exploring a tunnel, leaping at anything on a string, or chasing down balls to expend her energy, she can be found hanging out on the couch next to her human buddies. Skye is also a great communicator and will use her pretty voice to let you know when she misses you and desires your company. Although she’s curious, she doesn’t care much for the great outdoors and instead prefers to catch some soothing sunrays from the safety of the indoors. If you’re convinced of this girl’s greatness, then reach for the stars and bring the amazing Skye into your life!
