About Skip

Skip is a delightful little companion weighing just 22 pounds, brimming with affection. He adores cuddling and wants to be by your side whether you're lounging on the couch or busy with daily tasks. His loving personality really shines once he feels safe, although he can be a bit anxious when meeting new people. Skip is potty trained and knows basic commands like “sit” and “stay.” He walks on a leash after taking a moment to settle. While he’s a Jack Russell Terrier mix, this sweet guy hardly ever barks. Currently, Skip lives with two dogs and a toddler, but his forever home should not include cats or small animals due to a past incident. He thrives in environments with understanding adopters who can help him adjust and feel secure. Skip is heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment, so a loving home is a must. If you're looking for a loyal buddy and can offer Skip the gentle, safe environment he craves, he could fit right into your life. Ready to meet him? Click apply to start the adoption process.
