Firecracker and her mom, July (2025 Alum), were found as strays and brought into a high-kill Texas shelter.

​

Firecracker (nicknamed Sketti) is an adorable BC and Kelpie mix pup who loves nothing more than to get belly rubs from everyone she meets. She loves to play with toys, running after a ball and playing in water! Of course, her absolute favorite thing in the world is getting cuddles and following her humans around and she already has amazing good recall for a pup of her age. Sketti is great on a leash (and keeps a loose leash most of the time), very well crate trained and will go run to her crate on her own to wait for her meals and is housebroken.

​

Sketti is super smart and quick at picking up training and knows:

• Sit

• Down

• Wait

• Stay

• Search 

• Touch
