Hey ya'll. I'm Skip or as my foster family likes to call me Skipper doodle or Skippy. I am a feisty active 3 year old fawn boy who enjoys long rides in the car, walks on my leash, and snuggles in bed with someone special. I am heartworm positive but don't let that hold you back because I will be getting treated for that and I will be right as rain after my neuter next week. I get along pretty well with the resident dogs that live here all the time. There are five of them and they are all shapes and sizes but we mesh pretty well. I like to be in charge so I need someone who is willing to be firm with me. My foster mom has noticed that I seem to prefer men to women. Don't get me wrong, I love the ladies and the ladies love me. But there is just something about bonding with the fellas, ya know? Well gotta jet, things to do and people to see. I look forward to meeting you:)
