Skippy's Story

Meet Skippy Skippy is a 2-month-old lab mix with a sleek black coat and the cutest little white accents that make him extra dashing. Think classic black puppy... with just enough flair to stand out in the crowd. He's got that bright, happy expression and a constantly wagging tail that lets you know he's ready for whatever fun is happening next. This little guy is full of playful energy and puppy curiosity. Skippy loves to bounce around with his siblings, investigate every new toy like it's a grand discovery, and then happily settle in for some snuggles once he's gotten his wiggles out. He's sweet, affectionate, and at that perfect age where he's ready to learn all the good stuff - house manners, leash walks, and most importantly, how to be your loyal sidekick. Skippy will be ready to meet you starting Saturday, March 7th at our adoption event at the Petco in Brookfield! If this black-and-white cutie sounds like your kind of adventure buddy, head over to happylifeanimalrescue.org and register for adoption. Skippy is ready to skip right into his forever home - maybe it's yours.
