Meet Skipper! Skipper is a remarkable 42-pound brindle pittie with a heart as vast as her personality. It's perplexing that this affectionate girl has spent two years in rescue without finding a forever home. She's a delightful mix of silliness, sweetness, and loyalty, effortlessly putting smiles on the faces of those around her. Having been rescued after being accidentally struck by a vehicle, this resilient pup received the care she needed and has since fully healed. Now, she's eager to bring joy to her new family. Skipper thrives on companionship and adores interaction. Her playful spirit shines in her interactions with both dogs and people—she's extremely dog friendly and has a knack for welcoming newcomers into her pack.

Whether it’s chasing toys, going for car rides, or meeting new friends, she’s always up for an adventure.
