A calm, quiet home will be key for him to truly thrive.<br/><br/>Skipper would do best in an adult-only home or one with older, calm children who can respect his sensitive nature. He finds comfort in the presence of other dogs and would benefit greatly from a confident canine companion to help show him the way.<br/><br/>He enjoys exploring the play yard, following his nose from one interesting scent to the next, and occasionally showing off his adorable spin dance moves that are sure to make you smile. While he's not quite a cuddler yet, he will sit calmly in your lap, taking in the moment and learning what it feels like to be close.<br/><br/>Skipper is a work in progress in the most beautiful way. With patience, understanding, and a gentle environment, he will continue to blossom into a devoted and loving companion.<br/><br/> Available for adoption at our Dogsville location in Humansville, MO<br/> Apply to adopt at www.nmdr.org<br/> (select Missouri)<br/>------<br/>Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
