Meet Skye a 9 Month old Terrier, Jack Russell / Australian Cattle Dog! She is a fun but high energy dog! We mean HIGH. We are working on some of her undesirable behaviors like pulling on the leash and jumping up on people but once she has had her training session, she is a cuddler and will sit by you and chew her toys. To Skye though, first is first and it is training, exercise and then quiet time. We recommend older kids, a fenced in yard is a bonus but she needs someone to be with her out there or she may get herself into trouble, so a family who has had active sport type dogs before.
If you’re interested in adopting Skye or any one of our great pets please visit CT humane.org/adopt
