About Skip

Skip is a three-year-old male Pit Bull Terrier, weighing 61 lbs. Remarkably, he is a tripod due to an amputation of his right front leg caused by an injury, but that doesn't slow him down at all. While he is good with people, Skip has shown that he's not good with cats or small dogs. He thrives around female dogs of his size or larger and is great with children over 6-7 years old, as he might unintentionally knock down younger ones. He is housetrained and ready to bring joy to a loving home. This wonderful dog is available through the Humane Society of Elmore County in Wetumpka, AL. Every adoption includes a spay/neuter, basic vaccinations, de-wormings, a rabies vaccination, microchip registration, and even a goodie bag! Ready to meet Skip? What are you waiting for?
