About Skippy D

Meet Skippy D, a sweet, middle-aged Shih Tzu mix from Minnetonka, MN. He’s gentle, friendly, and eager to find a loving home. Don’t let his back leg issues fool you; Skippy remains an active little guy who enjoys short walks and long stroller rides. His playful spirit shines through as he runs around the house with his toys and loves to play fetch. Potty trained, Skippy makes his needs known by heading to the door, and he sleeps soundly through the night. Skippy thrives on companionship, often curling up next to you on the sofa or sleeping beside you in bed. He gets along well with cats and people, making him a great fit for families. While he may bark when left alone, he quickly settles back down. He would do best in a calm environment, ideally as the only dog or with a quieter, older dog. Skippy requires a little extra TLC, including protective socks for his back paws and a urinary prescription diet to prevent bladder stones. Despite his unique gait due to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), Skippy takes his meds without fuss and remains a vibrant, joyful companion. If you’re ready to provide him with the attentive care he deserves, Skippy will reward you with a lifetime of unconditional love. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
