Skog (pronounced "skoog") captures attention with his hound-like ears, long limbs tipped in white, and those wide, playful paws. His name fittingly means 'forest' in Swedish—he lights up on woodland trails and is always curious about his surroundings. Skog is a personable young dog who loves people and takes joy in making them happy. He’s got a quirky side, too: port-o-potties give him the jitters, and he can’t quite figure out why those odd boxes show up in odd places. He’s working hard on his manners, especially when greeting new faces—sometimes he just can't resist a big, enthusiastic lick. Skog already knows how to sit and will offer a paw for good measure. Even though he’s had to spend two Christmases at the shelter, Skog’s resilience and warmth haven’t faded. At heart, he’s looking for just one person or family to call his own, someone willing to let him show what loyalty means. Ready to make his next Christmas a new beginning?
