Skelly found himself in a high kill shelter in West Texas. He is great with other dogs and kids, cats are unknown. As with all dogs, supervision and training is a must. From the foster:
Skelly is an energetic, sweet, approximately 9 month old puppy that loves to curl up and cuddle.
Skelly loves loves loves(!) squeaky chew toys, all other chew toys, and going for rides in the car. Skelly is very food motivated, so he is easy to teach any tricks you want to try if you have treats to reward him. He is a great jumper and would be amazing at agility training. He has mastered sit and is working on down, stay, and leave it. He jumps occasionally and mouths very rarely when really excited. Mainly first thing in the morning. He loves being around people and other dogs with good introductions. He can be a bit vocal when playing. He is house and crate trained. His recall is pretty good, but can use some fine tuning.
Priority will go to applicant who can bring to a vet visit in the Twin Cities metro, MN prior to adoption. Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org
