About Skeeter

Skeeter was rescued as a feral puppy alongside his littermates, after being brought from the woods where his mother, a stray Australian Shepherd, gave birth. The kind folks at a nearby ranch helped by feeding the mom and eventually helping to catch all the puppies. Skeeter has a gentle spirit and is learning the joys of human interaction, though he's still quite shy. He's sweet and lovable, with a world of love to give to the right family. He gets along well with both cats and dogs, making him a versatile addition to many homes. Adoption includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, and heartworm testing.
