Skyview supports Cheetah Outreach Trust in South Africa

Skyview's puppy "Hope" a Bridger x Tallulah puppy was fostered by one of our wonderful puppy owners in Northern VA until Hope could fly to South Africa at 6 months of age in October 2025. Hope will join their breeding program to place livestock guardians with farmers to keep the Cheetahs away from livestock and to keep them alive.

Many times our dogs are wanted for a higher purpose - a family guardian, a service dog.

We take our placements seriously.
