My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

4/27/19 - ADOPTION PENDING!

Adoption Fee: $375
Fostered in Providence Village, Texas
Age: 6 years
Weight: 7.26 lbs.

2/10/19 - Are you stressed, over-worked and in need a of mental massage? Well look no further, as Skippy, is the answer to all your ailments. When he sits next to you, and you gently stroke his head, all of your worries fade away. When you look into his eyes you can see the love he has to share with you. He is an oasis of peace, love and devotion.

Unfortunately, Skippy's previous owners did not see these fine traits and needed to surrender him because he was tinkling inside too much. Well, he isn't doing that at his foster home. He might make a mistake a two, but for the most part, he has mastered the doggy door during the day and stays dry in his belly band at night.

Skippy is in a foster home with another yorkie and they co-exist fine, but we can tell that Skippy would love all of the attention or to be in a home with another submissive dog as he does get jealous of attention and tries to butt-in. Doesn't get the idea of "waiting his own turn".

He loves sleeping with his people and is learning the stairs to get off the bed on his own. He has free roam when his foster parents aren't home. He occasionally picks up a toy and we believe he might enjoy them when he has been here longer. He loves to cuddle with his people and is definitely down for the Hallmark marathon movies whenever you are. Just get on the sofa with a fuzzy blanket and Skippy is right there. Skippy isn't a huge barker, but will definitely give off his guard dog bark if the doorbell rings or someone knocks at the door.

Skippy is in the prime of his life and looking for some humans to spoil and love on. His foster mom says that he is the sweetest lovebug that just wants to hang out with his humans all day. Is that too much to ask? We don't think so.

2/8/19 - BIO COMING SOON!
