My story

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

Skip shakes hands more than politicians. He knows how to sit and really knows how to ask for pets and treats with a gentle paw or nose nudge. Most of the day he likes to lounge within earshot in a quiet home. But he can have bursts of energy and zoom with excitement and loves to step out for walks.

Skip is house-trained and can sit and shake with ease. He's an older fellow but would love a continuing education on new tricks. He can stay home by himself for a full work day and happily greet you upon your return. He's food-motivated and responds well to chicken and cheese. Skip is a very kind, warm, and sweet and would make a splendid addition to a loving and welcoming home that appreciates his bountiful companionship
