Sweet, sensitive, Skylar, seeks a loving forever family! She is the perfect companion for those who are looking to add a gentle, affectionate, steadfast and loyal companion to their home and is a Shepherd lover's dream. Stunning and beautiful in appearance with a dignified, yet humble air about her. Skylar's soulful eyes, however, tell the story of a pup who has not always had always had the easiest life. Estimated to be between 6-8 years of age, Skylar came to us from an animal control facility in Kentucky in pretty rough shape. Her emaciated frame covered with itchy, mangy skin. Her nails overgrown to the point of curling back towards her feet, eyes and ears crusted with infection, and clearly a mother many times over. A stray who was never claimed, her past unknown but obvious it was filled with hardship and neglect. Her difficult past did not break her spirit and Skylar is filled with love and affection for all. She has spent the last several weeks in a foster home in Chicago recovering and healing from her ordeal and is now ready for her happily-ever-after. Skylar doesn't ask for much and appreciates any love and care she's shown. She is quiet and well-behaved in the home, housebroken and crate trained, and gets along well with her canine fosters siblings. She loves nothing more than snuggling up with her humans on the couch or lounging in a comfy dog bed with a Nylabone. Leisurely walks around the neighborhood are also a favorite hobby of hers but most of all she just loves being close to her people. Skylar is a people-person through and through, and will be a devoted and faithful friend to her new family. With her tender nature and loving soul, Skylar is sure to bring joy and love to her new home. Could it be with you? Come meet Skylar today and see for yourself!
