Skyla

Skyla is the sweetest, most loving doll of a Velcro dog with a tail-wag that doesn’t quit. She’s like a confidence-boosting weighted blanket who just wants to lay on or near you and gaze at you like you’re the most wonderful, beautiful person she’s ever seen! And while she's winning hearts and friends in her foster home, she's looking for a forever home. <br/><br/>Skyla has been easy to care for. She rides well in the car and is totally housebroken - no accidents! She sleeps well through the night and naps a lot of the day. Skyla LOVES to be around people - she is calm but eager to greet and cuddle with people of a variety of ages/energy levels. While she prefers company, she tolerates being left alone and will go into a wire crate (and she may do a little barking but settles down quickly.) She has also been okay being left along in a room of her own for a few hours. <br/><br/>Skyla appears to have had at least some training: she knows sit and paw and seems to have good recall. She is gentle taking treats too. Skyla enjoys walking and exploring the world with her nose and she can be a strong puller, but she's willing to be redirected from exciting things and is receptive to further training.<br/><br/>Skyla is such a sweet, happy girl, and is clearly happiest in a home with one or more people to adore. A typical day for her involves cuddling, staring at her people adoringly, and short bouts of play time (fetch and tug seem to be her faves) followed by long naps. At the kennel, Skyla did well in play group socializing with dogs who were lower-key and had a gentler play style - but she seems like she would also be totally content in a human-only household.<br/><br/>Overall, Skyla is a sweet, easy, incredibly affectionate dog with so much love to give. She’ll melt your heart the second you meet her! Miss Skyla is estimated to be around 4 years old and weighs 72 lbs.

You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)<br/><br/>About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.<br/><br/>Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.
