For all the Husky lovers out there (and teddy bear lovers) do we have the ultimate treat for you! His name is Skippy Blue and he has eyes for you! See what we did there? A little play on words for you and also an easy transition to talk about those eyes of his! He's going to immediately take your breath away with them and you’ll love the way they almost sparkle in the sun. He's more than his looks though, he is incredibly smart, loves ear scratches, a chill companion, dog friendly, a gentle king.
Watch his video and fall in love with this fluff ball: https://youtu.be/78h4AFyL7XI?si=zbLg_6JInZQoRHwN
Skippy Blue is a Husky mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 51 lbs. He's basically 90% fluff, 10% Husky, and 100% love pounds. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Skippy can be a little shy at first when meeting new people and but trust me when I say it does not take long for him to turn into your little shadow and lover boy. One of the ways to his heart is through treats and really just quality time. Little by little, he's inching his way closer to you, politely asking for gentle pets, and giving you his paw. His energy is calming as well and you can't help but feel relaxed around him. Give him a little patience in the beginning, and you'll find that you've gained your soul dog.
Skippy is very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to. He is not a super playful guy with other dogs, he is more of a hang back, relax, watch the other dogs having fun kind of guy, found a person to give him some lovings, or he's cooling off in a near by kiddie pool. It just goes to show that it doesn't take much to make this guy happy. He's happy to just sit back and watch. Skippy is also fostered in a home with multiple other dogs and he does great with them too! His best doggy sibling match would be a gentle lady friend that has the same tempo as him. Cool, calm and collected. One that's not really looking for a playmate and enjoys just hanging out and enjoying the sunshine together. If you don't have other dogs, that’s fine by Skippy. He would love to be your one and only being the center of your attention. He has an overall relaxed energy about him that a walk around the neighborhood or play time with a toy will satisfy his energy needs.
Skippy is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy.
He also seems to really enjoy the outdoors and would make a great adventure partner and we're sure he would love the snow too! He loves the water and is always so happy to cool off in the kiddie pool. Bonus points if you have an actual pool but if not a kiddie pool will be just as perfect in his eyes or even a trip to the beach. Skippy isn't high energy and is an easy going guy for the most part but he would love the mental stimulation that comes with exploring and going on an adventure. Skippy is naturally a super smart boy and already knows how to sit, walks well on a leash, is crate trained and potty trained too. If you watched his video then you also know he that can shake! For some reason, when he gives you paw, it almost seems like he is trying to give you a high five or a pat on the back LOL. It’s more than just a “shake” command with Skippy, it’s a love language. If you know Huskies and have experience with the breed, you know they thrive with structure, routine, and consistency. We believe Skippy would thrive with a semi-active family that has a fenced in backyard and plenty of space for him to stretch his legs.
We have not seen him with kids just yet and we can certainly test that for you. We are willing to test Skippy Blue with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
