My story

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

Greetings, noble seekers of the perfect puppy!

I’m Skippy, the audacious 7 week old little furball leading the charge from the Robin Hood Litter. My tale begins with a blend of mystery and adventure—am I part Golden Retriever? Anatolian Shepherd? Collie? Perhaps a sprinkle of every breed in Sherwood Forest? Only time will reveal my true lineage, but one thing's for sure: I’m destined to be a "fun-sized" companion, topping out around 40-60 lbs of lovable mischief...at least we think. You never know if I will suddenly hit a growth spurt, but as of right now I am only about 5lbs.

My story is one of hope and heroism: I arrived with my eight siblings and mom after we were surrendered to the shelter and faced a dire fate due to overcrowding. But fear not—our tale took a turn for the better when a brave foster family stepped in to save us from the dreaded euthanasia list! Now, I’m ready to find my forever home and share my boundless enthusiasm with a family who values courage, charm, and a touch of whimsy.

In my kingdom, aka my foster home, I reign supreme as the valiant explorer. When the kennel door swings open, you’ll find me first on the scene, ready to embark on a new escapade! My bravery knows no bounds, and while my foster mom insists I stay humble, it's clear I’m the pup everyone dreams of: easygoing, sweet, and fluffy with a pinch of chubby charm. I’m as smart as a fox and as playful as a jester, with just the right amount of energy to keep your days filled with joy. Whether it’s a daring adventure or a cozy snuggle by the hearth, I’m ready to make your life a little more magical.

With my spirit and curiosity, I’m geared up for an active lifestyle that keeps me moving and exploring. If you’re someone who enjoys a dynamic life filled with outdoor escapades, you’ve found your match in me! Sure, I’m not quite ready to scale mountains just yet, but give me a few growth spurts and a sprinkle of training, and I’ll be ready to tackle those trails with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever in a field of tennis balls. For now, I’m all about getting my puppy paws ready for action, so I’ll be practicing my hiking skills with plenty of backyard exploration and neighborhood strolls. While I’m still perfecting my fetch skills (let’s just say I’m more of a “watch the ball” kind of pup right now), I’m definitely a fan of toys and playful antics. I’ve got plenty of energy, but don’t worry—I’m not exactly bouncing off the walls. I’m always first out of the dog pen when the doors open, eager to explore and have fun, but I’m not going to wear you out with endless zoomies. My ideal playtime involves a mix of energetic adventures and cozy downtime, making me the perfect partner for both active days and relaxing nights.

I’m thrilled to let you know that I’m great with kids! Whether they’re running around, playing games, or just hanging out, I’m always ready to join in on the fun. My playful and gentle nature makes me an excellent companion for young ones, ensuring lots of happy moments and shared adventures. If you have kids and want a pup who’s eager to be their new best friend, I’m ready to jump into action and make every day exciting! When it comes to meeting new people, I’m all about spreading joy and making new friends. I’m eager to greet everyone with a wagging tail and a big, happy smile. If you’re looking for a pup who’s ready to light up the room with enthusiasm and charm, I’m here to bring the fun and warmth to every introduction! When it comes to other dogs, I’m the life of the party! I thrive in the company of my fellow pups and love to lead the charge in playtime and exploration. Whether it’s organizing a game or just hanging out, I’m the spirited leader who makes every canine encounter a blast. If you’ve got other dogs and want a playful, confident addition to your pack, I’m ready to bring the fun! I haven’t had the chance to meet any cats yet, I’m optimistic about how we’ll get along. Given my friendly and adventurous nature, I’m confident I’d do just fine with feline friends. I’m always eager to make new pals and adapt well to different situations.

While I’m all set to fill your life with fun and adventure, there’s one little thing we’re still working on—potty training. Don’t let that hold you back, though—I’m eager to grow and learn and I just know that with a little patience and guidance I will have it down in no time at all! When it’s time to settle in, you can count on me to be a pro in my cozy kennel, ready for a good rest after our fun-filled days. Given my age my nose and paws are always on the move, sniffing out new and exciting things. That means I might find your favorite shoes or that tempting power cord irresistible. Puppy-proofing helps ensure that my curiosity doesn’t lead me to chew on things I shouldn’t so while I will try to be on my best behavior, I need you to not leave temping items within reach. ;) Anyone adopting me needs to understand how important training and socialization are for me at this age. Socialization helps me become comfortable with new people, pets, and experiences, making me a confident and friendly pup. Training teaches me the rules and commands, ensuring I behave well and fit smoothly into your home. Together, these help me grow into the best adventure buddy you could ask for.

If you’re ready to embark on an epic journey filled with fun, adventure, and a touch of mischief, I’m your pup! With my brave heart and playful spirit, I’m ready to be your loyal sidekick on every quest. Adopt me, and together we’ll write our own legendary tale filled with joy and laughter. So, don your finest gear and let’s make some magic happen—your future adventure buddy awaits!

Ready to join the quest with you,
Skippy
