🌟 Meet Skippy – the resilient and joyful 9-month-old black Lab mix just bursting with charm and spirit! This is a pup who has literally danced through adversity and is ready to leap right into your heart! 💖 Skippy's journey began with heartbreak when he darted into traffic, resulting in a fractured right hind leg. His previous family, unable to afford the surgery he desperately needed, made the tough call to surrender him to a high-kill shelter. Can you imagine that? 😢 Just minutes before his time was up, our rescue team swooped in like superhero angels to save him! ✨ Off to the vet he went, where caring, skilled surgeons worked their magic to repair his leg. Today, Skippy is fully healed and racing around like he owns the park! 🏃‍♂️💨 With a fun, wagging tail and sparkling eyes, he's neutered, fully vaccinated, and knows his basic commands like a champ. This little lovebug is house-trained and absolutely adores people of all ages – kids especially! 🧒❤️ And let’s talk about his personality – Skippy is not just playful and affectionate; he’s a cuddler who thinks he’s a lap dog! 😍 At around 40 lbs (and probably staying on the smaller side for a Lab mix), he's the perfect ‘tiny little’ companion. Plus, he’s non-reactive with other dogs, making him a friend in the park and a love in the home! From the brink of death to the edge of a happily-ever-after, Skippy shows us how second chances can lead to incredible love. Isn’t that a story worth sharing? Could your family be the one to welcome Skippy into your hearts and home? 🏡💞 His tail wags in hope that the answer is a resounding yes!
