Skippy, a compact chi terrier mix of disarming cuteness, is exactly like that dog in that movie. You know the one! Where he is the sharp-witted playmate and protector of the reckless and endearing private eye (or awkward fifth-grader or witty princess,) who managed, with Skippy’s help, to overcome the odds? That’s our boy! Sweet, shy, youthful yet worldly, he is a wing man in waiting, animated by love and kind attention. Looking for a worthy companion ready for wholesome adventures that end well? He’s your guy!
Here’s some notes from his foster:
Skippy (short for MakesYourHeartSkipABeat) is such a perfect little angel. He has a silly adorable personality that includes giving you a smile when you scritch his nose juuusst right and rolling onto his belly and giving you a look like “this belly isn’t going to rub itself”. He is very loving, but can be independent too.
Skippy is just wonderful and perfect. As he’s gotten down our routine, he has been heading to the door with his tail wagging ready for a walk at walk time. He does a cute little hop when I get the leash ready, he is so excited! When we’re walking with his foster brother he’s nice and patient and goes at his brother’s slower pace. When it’s just him, he likes to go a little faster. The other day he was on a pretty good roll, but stopped right at our apt building- he’s so smart! Toys have lost their novelty for him and he prefers to chill in his special spot on the couch. He is the KING of belly rubs and will take them all day, in every position! He hasn’t had a single accident, and we haven’t heard a single bark. He is so loving and gentle with both me and his foster brother. Just the sweetest little boy!
We haven’t had any interaction with kids, but he is so very sweet I think he would do just fine with any type of family. He would be a perfect companion for anyone this holiday season!
