SKYLAR

My story

   Meet Skylar – A Gentle Soul Searching for Peace and a Forever Heart to Call Home    Skylar is more than just a dog — she’s a survivor. A tender-hearted, loyal companion who has endured more heartbreak in her seven years than most ever should.   Adopted as a 3-month-old puppy from Critter Cavalry Rescue in May 2018, Skylar grew up surrounded by other dogs and the love of a devoted human mom. But in October of 2024, tragedy struck when her beloved mom passed away. She found temporary comfort with the family’s son… until he, too, unexpectedly passed in early 2025. Now, with the remaining family member away for work most of the week, Skylar is left without the love and presence she so deeply craves.   After August 30th, she’ll need a new home — and a second chance at the quiet, loving life she deserves.   Skylar is a 42-pound Beagle mix with soulful eyes, a gentle spirit, and a heart full of loyalty. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and very much a creature of routine. She finds comfort in familiarity, often retreating to her crate for downtime. While she has been through deep trauma — including witnessing the tragic loss of a dog companion years ago — she has shown tremendous resilience. She currently takes daily Fluoxetine (“doggie prozac”), a simple and affordable way to help her stay calm and balanced.   What Skylar really needs now is a quiet, predictable home — ideally with a fenced yard and a retired or work-from-home person who wants a loyal, calm companion. She would thrive in a space where she can feel safe, loved, and truly at peace. She adores being close to her people, enjoys gentle walks, and is a fantastic watch dog who will alert you to anything unusual — always with your safety in mind.   Great with children and adults alike, Skylar prefers not to meet lots of new dogs, especially on-leash encounters. She’s happiest just being part of her familiar world, surrounded by people who love her and routines she can count on.   After so much loss, Skylar is ready for her happy chapter. She deserves the kind of love that stays — a soft place to land and a forever heart that will never leave her behind.   If you think you might be the final stop on Skylar’s long journey, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.   Her bags are packed, and her heart is open.
