Sky **Foster Needed**'s Story

Don’t let his size fool you—Sky is a spirited little Chihuahua who lives life at full speed. He’s equal parts cuddle bug, athlete, and clever problem-solver, and he’s looking for a home that will appreciate all the charm (and mischief!) that comes with him. Sky loves his adventures. Walks and car rides are his absolute favorite, and he approaches both with enthusiastic determination—sometimes a little too much enthusiasm! He’ll need a secure harness (he’s basically a tiny escape artist) and a human who enjoys staying engaged on walks. Think of him as your personal trainer… just smaller and faster. At home, Sky is a surprisingly well-mannered gentleman. He keeps his chewing to his own toys (which he proudly destroys), doesn’t steal food, and has excellent house habits. He enjoys the finer things in life: cozy blanket piles, gentle massages, coconut oil spa treatments, and puzzle feeders that challenge his sharp mind. He’ll happily curl up at the foot of your bed after a day of being your shadow. Sky is very smart and already knows a handful of commands like sit, lay down, and crate (say it in a firm voice and he’ll march right in!). That said, he’s the kind of dog who likes to negotiate. He does best with consistent routines and regular reinforcement—if you let things slide, he’ll quickly test the boundaries again. He’s not being “bad,” just… confidently independent. Because of his quick reflexes and love of chasing small critters, Sky needs a secure yard and a watchful eye around doors—he’s got a bit of a “dash first, think later” philosophy. He’s also not a fan of rain and prefers his bathroom breaks with favorable weather conditions (don’t we all?). Sky bonds closely with his people and thrives in a calm, structured home where he can feel safe and pampered. He hasn’t spent much time away from his family, so he may need a little patience as he adjusts—but once he settles in, you’ll have a loyal, entertaining, and deeply endearing companion. Sky isn’t perfect—but he’s perfectly Sky.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a smart, spunky little dog with a big heart and are willing to give him consistency, structure, and love, he’ll reward you with endless personality and devotion.

Homeward Bound Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Policies and Requirements At Homeward Bound, our animals come first. Each animal is housed in home by one of our amazing foster families. We do not have a facility. Because the animals live in our homes, we can make a better assessment as to what homes fit each animal. We do not have blanket policies but instead make requirements for pets based on that individual pet’s needs. Please be sure to read each bio on the animal you are interested in thoroughly to see if you/your lifestyle/home/family are a good fit. All animals adopted from Homeward Bound are required to be indoor pets. We do not adopt our pets to outdoor homes. We reserve the right to deny an application at any time, for any reason. Spay/Neuter All animals in our care are/will be spayed or neutered as part of the adoption process. Most of our animals are fixed prior to adoption, but in some cases, due to vet availability, a pet may be adopted with the requirement that the adopter MUST get the pet to one of our participating vet clinics by a certain date (which will be listed on the adoption contract). This appointment will be coordinated between our director and the adopter. Other animals within an applicant’s home are expected to be altered as well. As a rescue, our job is to do our part to help control the pet overpopulation problem, and that begins with responsible spay/neuter practices. In the rare instance where a pet is deemed medically unable to be altered, we may make an exception. Vet Care All animals within our care will be current on their age-appropriate vaccines as well as monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Adult dogs will be tested (& if necessary, treated) for heartworm/tick borne illnesses as part of the adoption process. All animals in our care will receive a microchip which will be linked to us as secondary contact (the adopter can register their pet as the primary contact following adoption). An applicant’s current pets must be current and up-to-date on their vaccinations, and a vet reference must be provided on the adoption application. Renters If you rent your home, you must provide the contact information for your landlord during the application process. Home Visit In certain cases, we may require a home visit. References Two NON-FAMILY references are required for our adoption applications, as well as a vet reference. A non-family reference would be someone who knows you well enough to know how you care for your pets and is not related to you. Please note: while we wish we had the manpower to call all adopters and references directly, we are a small, volunteer run rescue (we all have full time jobs, families, and pets), so email contacts are required for all references. Return Policy As part of the adoption process, our adoption contract states that if you adopt a dog from Homeward Bound and are at any time unable to care for that pet, you must first contact us. Please be aware that because we are a foster based rescue, it may take us time to locate an open foster home for a return. In certain cases, where an animal is deemed a danger to people or other animals, we may not be able to accept the animal back. In the rare instance that this occurs, we will work directly with the adopter to find a solution.
