Hey there! My name is Skooma, and I'm a gorgeous spotted black-and-white Aussie/Collie mix. I came from a nice military family but when we got deployed to a new base, we had too many pets per the housing code, and I had to find a new start in life. I have been around children, cats, and other dogs, but I would be just as happy to be your solo companion or hiking buddy. I am not aggressive toward cats but can get the zoomies and may chase cats, so I would be best suited for cats that enjoy playing. One thing about me is I do have a lot of anxiety, which is pretty common for a working dog breed that doesn't have a job to do. And I have LOADS of kennel anxiety so I present very badly at my kennel, but if you meet me outside or in a room, I'm generally a perfect pup. I would be best suited for a family that is dog-savvy and has experience with working dog breeds, or with someone who lives a quiet life with plenty of routine and time for excursions. Once you're my friend, I'm about as cuddly as you can imagine. I love to curl up on laps or lean into my favorite people. I also have a favorite stuffed toy that I carry around for emotional support and will show my friends. It's my puppy! If you have room for an incredibly sweet dog that just needs some TLC, please ask about meeting me! Come meet me at the SPCA of Hancock County at 141 Bar Harbor Rd, Trenton, ME 04605! Please note that because I need to meet you in the play yard or real life room, visits with dogs are by appointment only. So fill out an application on me and they can schedule a meet-and-greet at your convenience. I hope we're a pawfect fit! And if we're not, you might meet your next pet while visiting me, so it's worth it to fill out that application! If you aren't in a position to adopt right now, you can still support me through our Pet Pal program. Monthly givers in our Pet Pal program get letters, photos, and more directly from us animals - you can even mention you want to hear directly from me. Join today!
