Skittles's Story
Meet Skittles – A Sweet, Brave Tripawd Ready for Adventure!<br/><br/>About Me:<br/><br/>Hi there! I’m Skittles, a 6-month-old spayed female mixed breed (likely part Bernese Mountain Dog and Border Collie) with a heart full of love—and an unstoppable spirit! Though I lost one of my back legs, don’t let that fool you—I zoom around just as fast as any four-legged pup! At 25 lbs, I’m the perfect size for snuggles and fun. I’ve had a tough start in life, but with patience and kindness, I’ve blossomed into a playful, curious, and affectionate girl who’s ready to take on the world—three paws and all.<br/><br/>My Perfect Home:<br/><br/>A calm, understanding family with kids 10+ (fast movements and loud noises still scare me).<br/><br/>Another confident, gentle dog to help me feel secure and show me the ropes.<br/><br/>A securely fenced yard—I love exploring, sniffing, and playing outside safely!<br/><br/>Low-traffic environment—too many new people can be overwhelming for me.<br/><br/>Limited stairs—I can handle a step or two, but a one-level home would be ideal.<br/><br/>Must be able to travel to Detroit, MI to meet me—I’m worth the trip!<br/><br/>What I Love:<br/><br/>Playing with my doggy friends (I’m surprisingly agile!) and chewing on bones.<br/><br/>Going for walks—sniffing all the neighborhood smells is my favorite.<br/><br/>Enrichment activities that keep my clever mind busy.<br/><br/>Snuggling… on my terms—when I’m comfortable, I’ll lean in for pets or nap by your feet.<br/><br/>My Quirks:<br/><br/>I’m still learning to trust, so I need a family who understands that I may startle at sudden noises or movements. A crate is my safe space when you’re away, and I sleep soundly in it at night. With time, patience, and a calm canine buddy, I’ll be your most loyal, loving companion!<br/><br/>Why Adopt Me?<br/><br/>I’m proof that resilience and love can overcome anything—whether it’s a tough past or a missing leg! If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, and spirited pup who’s growing braver every day, I might just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Could you be my forever family? Let’s take this journey together—one gentle step (or hop!) at a time.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt Skittles today! (Must be able to travel to Detroit, MI, to meet her.) ??<br/><br/>(Note: Mill rescue—must have another dog and a fenced yard.)
