Skippy is a small 1-1/2 year old male spaniel mix.  He is very happy and likes his time with humans.  He seldom ever makes a sound and is very good with his potty breaks. 

Skippy is a bit of a herder and will at times herd his human friends.  He likes to play with his other dog buddies and sit on the top of the dog house watching the rest of the creatures from his perch.  He is aware of the cats and will stand at his gate as they walk by. 

Training is strongly encouraged to build the bond between Skippy and his human family and to ensure appropriate behaviors as he grows. He will also require regular brushing to keep his coat clean and prevent mats.

Skippy has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms. 

If you are interested in learning more about Skippy, please start by completing the Dog Adoption Application (available at http://www.friendsforliferescue.org/info/adoption).  This is used during the family interviews to help guide the adoption process and make the best match possible between dogs and their future families. You may fax or e-mail the completed application or bring it to our outreach events at the Mount Vernon Petco store on Saturdays from 11 am to 3 pm.
