Skips's Story

Hi there! I'm Skips, a 1.5-year-old black-and-white Hound mix weighing in at an easy, athletic 33 pounds! If you're looking for a fun, smart sidekick who matches big outdoor energy with top-tier cuddle skills, look no further!<br/><br/>Kennel life can make me feel like a total spaz, but in a real home setting, I settle right in like an old pro. My previous foster family gave me a glowing report card, calling me one of the most affectionate, cuddly dogs they'd ever met! I'm fully housebroken, get along wonderfully with kids, and love making friends with any dog I meet. I'm also super smart and eager to please: I already know "sit," "touch," and "shake," and I'm polishing up my leash walking every day. <br/><br/>My ideal weekend? Hitting the trail for a nice hike, grabbing a pup cup on the way back, and then melting across your lap for the evening. A quick note on cats: I love everyone so much that I do try to chase them just to play, so feline friends should be dog-savvy or okay with a playful shadow! <br/><br/>I'm all set on my care checklist: neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and tested negative on my full heartworm and tick panel! <br/><br/>If you're looking for an active, loyal adventure buddy who loves as hard as he plays, come meet me today!
