Meet Sky, a 5-year-old toy Australian Shepherd (or possibly an Aussiedoodle—though she does shed! 😉) who has just begun her new life outside of a puppy mill. After spending years in a small cage, she’s discovering the world for the first time, and she’s ready for a kind and patient family to show her what being a beloved pet truly means. 💙🏡

✨ The Wonderful Things About Sky:
✅ Super sweet & smart—She’s already picking up house training quickly! 🧠🐾
✅ Loves people—She craves attention and would love a family who’s home often. ❤️
✅ Adorable & dainty—At just 15 lbs, she’s small, delicate, and oh-so-cute! 🐕
✅ Enjoys other dogs—A small, friendly pup in the home would be a great bonus! 🐶
✅ Loves the outdoors—Running around a fenced yard makes her so happy! 🌿🐾
✅ Cozy queen—She loves wearing sweaters and snuggling up. 🧥🐾

🚧 Things Sky Is Still Learning:
❌ Stairs, cars, and jumping on furniture—She’s never had the chance before! 🚗🏡
❌ Leash walking—A patient hand will help her gain confidence. 🦮
❌ Trusting hands—She’s shy at first but loves affection once she settles next to you. 💕
❌ Separation anxiety—Right now, she barks when left alone, so a home without shared walls (and no long stretches alone just yet) is best. 🏡🚫

Sky is a diamond in the rough—she’s loving, eager to learn, and ready to bond deeply with a family that can help her overcome her past. If you work from home, are retired, or have the patience to train a mill survivor, Sky could be your perfect companion. 🐶💛

📍 Are you ready to give Sky the life she’s always deserved? 🏡🐾
