Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Skyler is about 2 years old and is only 11.2 pounds.
He needs plenty of socialization and is still very shy. Special care is needed for very shy dogs. He will require a fairly quiet home with an owner who is patient and understanding yet firm and proactive in helping him learn to enjoy the wonderful things life has to offer a sweet, young sheltie.
He is enjoying some lap time with his foster Mom now. He likes to sit very close to her on the sofa but will take treats. He is carrying toys and chewies up to the sofa now, too. His foster Mom says that if she sleeps in, Skyler will jump up onto the bed and bark at her that it's time to get up.
Skyler just started playing with with another sheltie today! Woo Hoo! Big step forward for this little sheltie!!!!
Skyler has learned to enjoy being groomed. When he sees the brush come out he comes over to ask for his turn. It's easy to trim his nails and trim his feet. He's a good little man. Never an accident in his crate or in the house. He goes outside to potty and sometimes needs his person to go outside to follow him in or he'll just look at the door.
