Looking for a furry friend who embodies all the qualities of a true best friend? Look no further, because Skye is here to steal your heart! This adorable little lady is as affectionate as they come and is truly a man's best friend.
Skye's gentle personality shines through in everything she does. There's nothing better in Skye's world than curling up next to her human and feeling their warmth and love. Soft squeaky toys also hold a special place in her heart, providing entertainment and comfort. Above all else, Skye's ultimate happiness stems from just being with her beloved human, as she cherishes their presence more than anything.
While Skye is primarily an indoor dog, she also enjoys having access to the outdoors. Daily walks would definitely be up her alley, as she loves exploring her surroundings and taking in the fresh air.
When it comes to socialising with other dogs, Skye can be a bit cautious and shy at first. She gets along famously with her two older small breed foster siblings, chasing each other around and napping together. As for cats, her interactions haven't been tested yet, so a slow and careful introduction would be advisable. On the other hand, Skye has proven to be excellent with kids due to her gentle and patient nature. While Skye is great with kids, she would be better suited to older children, teenagers, or adults due to her age and slightly lower energy levels.
Skye would flourish in a home where someone is home often to keep her company. She longs for a loving family who can provide her with the time and attention she needs to feel secure and happy. Patience and a willingness to work with Skye to build trust and create a strong bond will be key in helping her thrive.
In terms of manners and obedience, Skye is a little angel. She rarely barks, is fully toilet trained, knows basic commands like “sit” and “stay” and she happily wears a harness and walks on a leash with ease. Car rides are a breeze for her, as she settles in and enjoys the adventure.

* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.

~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
