About Skippy

Meet Skippy, an adorable, devoted Cattle Dog sure to make your heart skip a beat! Skippy is 6 years old, and he just returned to the shelter after being adopted when he was just a puppy. Skippy was a loyal, well-behaved, affectionate companion for many years, but sadly the addition of two children in the recent past caused Skippy too much anxiety, and it was not longer the best home for him. Skippy is a great guy - pretty mellow, easy to please, and totally in love with people. He longs to be the constant companion of a quiet, adult-only family where he can spend most of his time following his people around the house, going for walks with them, and laying at their feet at night. Skippy is ok with other dogs after an appropriate introduction, but he has a prey drive that makes him a poor fit for home with cats or small animals. Skippy would really prefer to have a nice spot at the end of the bed where he can snuggle up with you - he doesn't ask for much!
