Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Skye could be that dream come true pup for retirees who enjoy spending their time with a gorgeous and active pup who is loving and engaging. There's no question that Skye would also do well with gentle, dog-loving older kids who enjoy the activity and snuggles that a sweet young dog brings to a family.
Skye has been identified as a Schnauzer with Bearded Collie in the mix for that scruffy beauty and fun-loving personality. Farfel's can't swear to these breeds asTexas veterinarians made the determination..all we know is that this guy is sweet, loving and absolutely irresistible!
Farfel's wants to make certain that Skye is handled kindly and with respect in his new life. He'll return that loving treatment a thousand times over with his loyalty and loving personality. This guy is as sweet as can be, silly, active and playful...and once comfortable in his environment is very entertaining in his antics and the love that he wants to show to everyone who is kind to him.
Being a young and super-smart Schnauzer mix, Skye loves physical exercise as well as mental stimulation. He would be a natural in positive reinforcement / force- free group obedience classes. These classes are so important in bonding as well as teaching a dog the skills (in a very positive way) to understand boundaries and commands. This creates a well-behaved partner both at home and out in the community. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free / positive reinforcement trainers in your area.
Skye may initially be a bit shy due to all the changes in his short life..but give him just a minute (a belly rub and yummy treats are wonderful) and he inches just a bit closer to a welcoming hug. Before you know it, he's gently loving you with a soft kiss. Skye's awesome Texas rescuers recognized all of this and knew that there was a Colorado home that would fall in love with this stunning guy and desire to make him a permanent and very important member of their family.
At 10 months old and 40lbs, Skye is a perfect size for hiking the Colorado mountains, neighborhood walks (he's a very social guy) and backyard fun with his family..and then at the end of the day, sweet Skye would enjoy nothing more than a warm spot on the couch or bed next to his favorite people. Skye enjoys his relationships with other dogs as well and would have so much fun with another playful and sweet canine companion.
Skye would do well with anyone who's invested in spending time with their pup. He'll be a committed and loving best friend..and would be overjoyed with the opportunity to come along and be part of the fun. He's so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure. It can be a visit with friends, a car ride or a vacation..all of these would speak to Skye's sweet temperament and love of his family.
Farfel's isn't open to a home where family members spend their days working full-time outside of the home. We'd like Skye to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle. Those who work from a home-based office would be perfect for this active and lovable guy.
Skye will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming and excellent nutrition.A healthy and natural diet with a daily salmon oil supplement and periodic grooming (approximately every 10 weeks) will keep this guy's non-shedding coat cottony-soft, matte-free and very healthy.
Skye has been fully vetted and vaccinated to fulfill Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy pets.He has also been neutered to stay true to our commitment to a euthanasia-free future in the canine population.
Skye will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 3/4/2025. If interested in this active and very loving and devoted best friend, please fill out a Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Applications can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Skye please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's adoption application.
