About Skip

Skip is ready for his forever home after a long wait. Saved from Alabama, he’s one resilient hound who has just completed heartworm treatment and is now heartworm negative. This affectionate 3-year-old Vizsla/Redtick Coonhound mix has a striking red coat and is about 75 lbs. He’s great with people and is wonderful around other dogs. Housebroken and car-friendly, Skip loves to play and snuggle. However, he does not get along with cats, so he’ll need a home without them. After spending a year waiting, Skip is eager to be part of a family, ready for car rides and playtime, and a cozy couch to call his own. He’s healthy and full of love, just waiting for the right family to take him in. Don’t let him wait any longer—he deserves a home where he truly belongs.
