Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Skipper and I'm about 7 - 9 weeks old (7/22/17) and weigh less than 5 lbs. I am one of the smallest of my siblings. I am so lucky to be in a terrific foster home with 4 kids, 2 resident dogs and a few cats ---- and I think they are all great! My siblings, our toys that we share and my foster family kids are the things that I love best. I am brave and curious and sweet and outgoing.
You might be interested in knowing a little of my history. My 9 siblings and I were found be under an empty house on 7.1.2017 by two kind souls who had been hired to clean the house. These two people heard us crying, immediately stopped what they were doing, crawled under the house and were able to catch 8 of us. They then fed us, bathed us and delivered us to the Jackson city animal shelter as they were unable to keep us. After spending one night at the very loud and scary and wet city shelter, the sweetest family agreed to take us as emergency short term fosters. Four of my siblings were adopted and then the remaining 4 of us moved to our longer term foster family with the kids / dogs / cats. We are some of the lucky ones and are so pleased to have this chance for a happy and safe life with a family who will love us.
Although Skipper is currently in Jackson, Mississippi, transportation to the New England area is provided by Animal Rescue Front and is included in the adoption fee If you're interested in taking him into your forever home, please fill out the adoption form here: http://animalrescuefront.org/forms/
Skipper should be available to head north on the August 10, 2017 transport.
