Description:

Vizsla Mix Dog for Adoption in Arlington, Virginia, 22204 USNickname: Skylar Posted Breed: Vizsla / Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet the fabulous Sklyar, an affectionate, cuddly pup whose primary passion in life is her person. Skylar has been through formal training, has excellent house manners, and knows multiple commands. She has learned to go to her “place” when it’s food time or her foster mom has company, and does well meeting new people and visitors. Skylar is insecure around other dogs and would love to be an only-dog getting all the love and attention. Skylar was rescued by a Good Samaritan running as a stray in rural SC. She was just a young pup and was fortunate to have someone looking out for her. The Good Samaritan took Sklyar into her home which included two kids, three dogs, and a cat. She did a gradual introduction of Sklyar to her pack, taking more than a week to fully integrate her, and that slow introduction worked well. Skylar was respectful to the other dogs in her home and settled in well to home life. She quickly proved to have excellent house manners - crate trained, housetrained, and does great being left home alone. We brought Skylar to the DC Metro to start her new life over a year ago, and she’s been living as an only dog in Baltimore. We discovered she was more anxious in an urban environment and needed work on her leash skills and meeting other dogs. Skylar went through formal training, and our trainer worked closely with her foster mom, Terri, to show her how to read Skylar’s body language and manage her on leash. Since graduating from training, we’ve seen significant breakthroughs. Skylar has learned to focus on Terri when they go for walks, and she’s become desensitized to the neighborhood dogs. If she does get excited, she recovers quickly, and her recall is much improved. Sklyar has pretty exemplary house manners and knows multiple commands. She has learned to go to her “place” when it’s food time or her foster mom has company, and does well meeting new people and visitors. Overall, she is a fun, loving pup who comes with a few quirks, but don’t we all? You will not find a more loyal and committed pup. She is the ultimate companion. The best home for Skylar would be one in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood with a fenced yard to romp and play in. Her favorite things in life are running, playing fetch, and snuggling on the couch. Because Skylar lacks confidence in new situations, she needs an adopter with leadership skills — someone who will set the rules, give her some boundaries, and help build her confidence. She will gladly comply with lots of love and kisses because she aims to please. It’s hard to understand why some dogs get all the attention while others get overlooked time and time again. This sweet girl is LONG overdue for her happy ending. Apply today to learn more about Skylar and give her a chance. ******** Worthy Dog is committed to Skylar and her success and will donate a training session to help Skylar’s new family transition her into their home.
