About Skipper

Meet Skipper. She's a playful 7-month-old, 19-pound female Catahoula who brings a unique energy to everything she does. Instead of walking, she gallops, sometimes launching herself with such zest that you might think she’s related to Rudolph. It's wonderfully ridiculous to watch as she unintentionally defies gravity, turning her everyday movements into a mini spectacle. Skipper is not just a bundle of energy; she's also a loving cuddlebug. Potty trained and crate trained, she thrives on companionship and enjoys every moment spent with her people. Her playful spirit and affectionate nature make her a joy to be around, enhancing those ordinary moments with extra laughter. This little dynamo, while busy gaining a bit of weight (a project she tackles with determination), is both an agile tiny horse and a sweet baby depending on the hour. She’s dog-friendly, ensuring she fits right into a household where she can share her adventures. Skipper represents the perfect blend of velocity, charm, and goofy sweetness, making her a wonderful addition. Interested in making Skipper part of your home? You’ll need to fill out an application to start the adoption process. Don't miss out on this delightful companion!
