Rocko's Story

Skip is 11 years old, and he’s the perfect mix of senior sweetness with just enough pep to keep life interesting. This handsome black Lab arrived at UPAWS as a stray, and while we don’t know his past, we can tell you this: he’s kind, gentle, and so ready for a soft, loving place to land.<br/><br/>Skip enjoys leisurely walks, sniffing around the yard, and being part of whatever his people are doing — nothing wild, nothing over-the-top, just a nice, easy pace. He’s got a little spring left in his step, but he’s also a big fan of comfy beds, quiet time, and soaking up affection.<br/><br/>He’s polite with other dogs and would do well in a calm home with adults or respectful older children who appreciate a mellow, good old boy.<br/><br/>If you’ve ever dreamed of giving a senior dog a peaceful, loving retirement, Skip might be your guy. He has a gentle heart, a sweet spirit, and he’s so ready to finally feel at home.<br/><br/>Better yet, fill out an adoption interest form.<br/>If a meet and greet is scheduled, please bring your whole human and dog household along.<br/><br/>Please help us share Skip so he can find the caring family he’s been waiting for. Or come meet him at UPAWS — he just might be the one you’ve been hoping for.
