About Skippy
Skippy is a lively black and white pup adorned with countless black dots. He started his journey as a stray, wandering with his mother and siblings until he was caught weeks later due to his smaller size. Rescued and fostered by HART, he's now thriving and expanding his playful personality. At around 18 weeks, Skippy is full of charm and confidence. He loves interacting with adults, children, and other dogs, showing his friendly nature. His play sessions, especially with the other pups in his foster home, reveal a spirited side as he enjoys chasing and wrestling. Being around young children doesn't faze him; he’s gentle and takes playful roughhousing in stride. Skippy is well-behaved in his crate and house trained, with just one little accident due to misreading his signals. He rides well in the car, even for long distances, with a calm demeanor. His average activity level shines when he plays outside or relaxes in the sun, often curling up for naps on his human’s lap. This playful pup thrives in a home with another dog who enjoys playtime but might be too much for an older companion. With his knack for training, especially for food, Skippy promises to be an eager learner. He would appreciate a fenced yard to satisfy his curiosity in exploring. If Skippy sounds like a fit for your family, submit an application, and the foster will gladly bring him over for a visit. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
