Sweet as her name, Skittles is what we believe to be a petite Lab mix weighing in at about 40 pounds. This lovable girl has already done an amazing job raising her eight puppies, and now it's finally her turn to be spoiled and cherished.
Skittles is a happy, affectionate girl who enjoys being around people and is always ready to brighten your day with her wagging tail and sweet personality. She's currently learning how to walk on a leash and is picking up basic commands like a champ. With a little patience and encouragement, she's sure to continue blossoming into the perfect companion.
This gentle mama gets along well with other dogs and does great with kids, making her a wonderful addition to many different types of families. And if you're wondering how to win her heart, the answer is simple—chicken jerky treats!
After dedicating herself to her puppies, Skittles is ready for a family of her own that will shower her with the love, attention, and pampering she deserves. Could that family be yours?

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
