Skippy, a senior Dachshund Mix needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him get a new start?
Skippy Background : Skippy came to us from a home where there were 4 dogs living in filth and their human was found suffering on the floor, she passed away the next day. all 4 dogs were in the advanced stages of starvation. We have brought them back to full health. Skippy is healthy happy and a senior of approx. 9 years What Skippy Needs: Skippy craves love and attention. He is a very gentle soul who is easily kept happy when he can play with his stuffed toys and get you to watch his antics. he has great energy, and loves to be dotted on and cuddled. he will look deeply into your eyes when you speak to him. Skippy is so happy to be well-fed, loved, and safe, he shows it every minute. he has a zest for life that was missing for a long time. Skippy needs someone who will love him unconditionally, spend time playing, loving, and cuddling him and keep him for the rest of his days. he does well with other dogs, but will likely be just as happy as an only dog, provided that his human is home a lot. Skippy will do best with a retiree/couple, someone who works from home or can take him to work. Skippy has an awesome personality that is hard for me to capture on film. he makes faces, does antics to keep you interacting with him, and is just an all-around love bug. Skippy is up to date on his vaccines, is neutered, and has recently had a full dental clean with extractions, anal gland expression, nails trimmed, and baths.
