My story

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

Skippy is fabulous. Such a happy, polite, curious, and grateful doggy. He loves to eat but doesn't have any food aggression. He's about 35 pounds, a nice medium size and we are guessing he's a basenji/pharaoh mix. He was skin & bones while living on the streets of Thailand. He has a few dozen little scars on his body but he doesn't dwell on his past. He knows those days are far behind him.

From the Thai rescue, Hand To Paw: "His life was also in jeopardy as he lived alone on the streets and was very malnourished and suffering from blood parasites. A woman that lived on the street he called his home had threatened that she was going to have him "removed" if he did not get off her street! She said she didn't want him living there. With the high rate of poisonings here in the area of Thailand his life was in danger. Another neighbor contacted me to ask for help - in which I did. Skippy is now healthy once again, happy and normal energy levels. He is in a foster home while I try to find him a home. He is a very good boy and wonderful personality. He is juts blossoming living with humans and other dogs - he wants human companionship. I feel he will make the best companion and be so loyal."
