My story

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

Hi there, I'm Skipper! I'm a sweet hyper guy with a heart full of love to give. Sure, I'm missing a paw, but that doesn't slow me down one bit! I'm a goofball who loves to play and make new friends. I'm the type of dog who will turn a bad day into a good one with my sweet, friendly nature. I've been told I have a knack for making people smile. I'm just looking for a family who will embrace my playful spirit and love me for who I am.

I am spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested. Come meet me! My adoption fee is $175.

Walk-in's will be offered the next available appointment. Pets are adopted on a first come basis.

The Roanoke Valley SPCA has embraced Fear Free Shelters philosophy and are committed to giving each pet in our care a fear free experience while looking for their forever homes. The Fear Free® philosophy is designed to reduce the negative emotional states that are commonly experienced by shelter animals, including fear, anxiety, stress, and frustration. We offer virtual walk thru of available pets on our website and at our shelter. The end result is a happier, healthier new member of your family.
Call 540-339-9247 between 12pm-6pm on Monday or 12pm-7pm on Tuesday-Saturday to speak with an adoption counselor for more information.

They have been tested for canine/feline diseases, spayed or neutered, received routine vaccinations (including rabies), been microchipped, and have received a heavy dose of love and attention from all of our staff and volunteers.
