My name is Skywalker!

*** In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations.

Sky does very well with larger dogs but sometimes can be a bully to smaller dogs than her who are shy. She has previously done well when being dog sat with my sister who has a cat but also has tried to go after them outside so that part is less predictable.

Though she has done well around our newborn I would certainly be careful with her because she has shown some territorial behavior around her high value treats so it may be better for her to be in a home with a child old enough to understand that she needs to have her things respected.

She was recently diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia but it does not seem to bother her on walks. Our vet (which my husband works at) has worked with her on her separation anxiety and it can be managed with medication but there will certainly be an adjustment process I believe. It is certainly managed easier with long walks or even bike rides which she loves! She takes trazadone for her separation anxiety when we are out of the house and takes rimadyl prior to long walks or bike rides. She does not need medication except under these circumstances.

She does not have dietary restrictions!

Both my husband and I have worked in animal care for a significant time so all of the training has been done by us. She knows basic commands like sit or stay but if she is too excited does not seem to remember them :). She is house broken and will not go in the house if someone is home but when she gets very anxious about someone being gone may very well go in the house unfortunately. This does not happen when she is on medication.
