Skipper is one of the sweetest little fellas you could ever meet. He is affectionate, and loving. He has not shown any kind of aggression at all.

He loves to lay in your lap or next to you on  the couch. He will walk with you when you are outside, but we still require that he be on a leash when out of the house or yard. He is a little climber so a wooden fence or tall fence would be best if left outside unattended (not recommended for such a small breed).
 

Skipper just recently underwent treatments for Heart_Worm, which is a high occurrence with dogs in the south due to the lack of proper preventatives. Because of this, Skipper will need to be leash walked at all times, and kept quiet indoors for up to 6 weeks while he recuperates.
 

Skipper will sleep in a crate but prefers to be with his human or on a soft comfy bed. He is house broke, up to date on all his vaccines and started on flea and tick preventatives.

He is good with dogs of all ages and sizes. He is good with kids and cats and loves woman as well as men.

We are a home based, not for profit organization in Northeast Alabama that helps place forgotten and unwanted pets in forever homes.  We are an all volunteer, 501(c)3  organization.  We rescue pets from high kill shelters, prior to being euthanized, as well as strays and unwanted pets.

We do not adopt to "outside only" homes nor do we adopt to anyone who wishes to crop, dock, or do any other alterations except the spaying and neutering of their pets.  All pets are completely vetted, up to date on all vaccines, and given rabies certificates.
