Meet Skipper

Skipper has had a rough start in life. A stray, he entered the shelter with non-contagious mange as well as a front leg that was fractured in two places. The shelter was full and medical cases are often the first to get euthanized when the shelter needs to make space. We took him in with the help of a wonderful foster. Since then, he has been treated for the mange and his leg has healed. Since then, he's been with his foster and has done fabulously! His foster tested his DNA and found out Skipper is Husky/ Shepherd mix with no BC (hard to tell when they have no hair lol). Even though he has not BC in him, he is a fantastic pup. He is a sweet, lovable, active, and friendly pup. He loves to hang outside and chew on a bone, or frolic with his foster brothers. He is always happy and friendly, and is crate and house-trained. He will make a fine pup for an active family looking for a sweet guy to just “be a dog”.
