He thrives on attention and loves his cozy dog naps in between. Given his age and size, a lower-energy and quieter household would be the best fit for him as he settles into his golden years. Skeens has tested positive for Anaplasmosis and Lyme disease, both of which are being treated with an oral antibiotic. He will go home with any remaining medication to ensure a smooth recovery.
