My story

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

Hi, I’m Skippy! I’m a senior Jack Russell Terrier mix, weighing just 12 pounds but carrying a lifetime of charm. With age comes wisdom, and I’ve already mastered the basics—so now I get to skip straight to the fun. Toys, car rides, and snuggles are my specialties, and I bring plenty of enthusiasm to each. I may be small, but I’m clever, curious, and full of personality. Most of all, I’m a true peopledog, happiest when I’m right by your side.



Favorite Things: Skippy is absolutely toyobsessed. He doesn’t just play with them—he invents his own games, hiding toys under blankets and then triumphantly finding them again. He delights in car rides, cozy dog beds, and light blankets that double as props for his playful antics.



Training and Manners: Skippy is house trained as long as he’s let out regularly. He walks nicely on a leash, though his excitement can lead to a few barks at other dogs—even on TV. His activity level is just right: playful when it’s time for fun, but content to relax, at night he snoozes peacefully in his dog bed.



Health and Care: Skippy is a healthy boy! He is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and neutered. While he doesn’t require professional grooming, regular baths and nail trims will keep him looking and feeling his best. Like any dog, he’ll need monthly heartworm and flea prevention.



Other Animals: Skippy enjoys the company of other dogs and greets them with excitement. He hasn’t been tested with cats, and given his enthusiasm, we think a house without cats or animals like bunnies would be best.



Children: This cutie is a social butterfly who adores children of all ages. His affectionate and playful personality makes him a wonderful family dog.



Ideal Home: Whether it’s an apartment, condo, or house, Skippy thrives where someone is around more often than not. When left alone, he prefers to settle in a secure area of the house, though he’d much rather be with his people. His preference for company is simply a reflection of how much he enjoys being part of the action and sharing life sidebyside.



Overall: Skippy is the definition of a peoplelover. He wants to be the center of attention and will happily entertain with his toy games and clever antics. He’s smart, communicative, endlessly affectionate and ready to fill your home with joy, laughter, and love.



Is Skippy the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for? Then visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $250.

We are a foster-based rescue organization and do not have a facility. We have all events posted on our website each month.

More about this rescue

Poodle and Pooch Rescue is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that saves dogs that truly need help. We rescue the "leftovers" from animal control, the dogs nobody wants because they're older or suffer from neglect, abuse or have a medical need. Their "last" day becomes the first day of their new life. We provide the veterinary care they need, a foster family they love and when they're ready, we adopt them to a family who cherishes them. We do not have a physical shelter because every dog lives with one of our foster families. We are all volunteers so your tax-deductible donation goes directly to help the dogs. We have saved over 5,500 dogs since 2008.
