Now you see me... Now you don't!! :)) I love this blankie!

Skylar was surrendered because her owners had a baby and she was allergic. They also surrendered their other Doberman Pol. It is very sad for these older dogs as they have had a stable home and then all the sudden they are sent away, confused.

Skylar is 10 years old and seems to be a pretty docile girl though she lets you know when she needs a bit of attention. She is your typical older girl with some lumps and bumps and arthritis. We did x-ray her leg as she does have a limp and the vet said she has arthritis in her elbow. Her nails were ridiculously long when she arrived and we did cut them back as far as we could but they are still long. She lived with one other male Dobe and birds and is mostly okay with the dogs in her foster home. She has been around young children and even will let them nap with her. She loves to sleep under blankets and you can see that in the photos. She is always excited to see you when you get home and wags her nub back and forth. She is very loving and will lick you as long as you let her.

She walks fine on a lead and isn’t too reactive to her surroundings. She loves just to lie next to you on the couch but will lie next to your feet all day if not allowed up. Skylar has perfect manners! She doesn’t jump up on people, steal food off the counter top or run around the house. She knows how to sit, stay, come, heal, lay down and loves to give you her paw for a treat. She is housebroken and never has any accidents in the house. A ranch-style house with a family would be best as lots of stairs will be hard on her. If you can open your home to this senior gal looking for some feet to lie at please email Pam.

Her only known medical needs at this time is arthritis.
