Story
Meet Skippy; a 9.5yr old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) mix who will be 10 in January. He reminds his foster family of a sour patch kid; sweet one minute, sour the next. It all depends on what mood Skippy is in & how tired he may be. He absolutely loves his foster momma, but is hesitant of his foster dad. He will allow his foster dad to play ball or throw toys, but hasn’t allowed him to handle him or even pet him. Skippy is good at letting you know if he is okay with things by either allowing it, or, growling, baring teeth or trying to nip. He definitely has a Napoleon complex, aka little dog syndrome, & likes to try to rule the roost. He isn’t allowed to lay on his foster momma’s lap, but instead has his own dog bed he can lay in further down the couch.
Overnight, or when his fosters aren’t home, Skippy is crated. He does very well in the crate & doesn’t make a peep unless he hears something that alarms him. He isn’t allowed to sleep in bed with his foster family due to his potential to bite when moved. To keep Skippy’s bad habits in check, he gets crated.
Skippy is fully potty trained & hasn’t had any accidents! He is leash trained & walks well with a harness. On walks he may act a fool if he sees another dog, but it’s only his false “big man” bravado that comes out, otherwise does his business & walks well.
Skippy is being fostered with other pups, but has only really showed a liking to a couple; small breed, older, submissive, not wanting the spotlight females. He has played outdoors with two of the small breed males, but tends to puff his chest out & act the toughest! Indoors is another story; he doesn’t like them in what he considers his “space” & his Napoleon complex comes out & tries to pick fights. A fence is not required as long as the owner will walk him regularly.
Skippy’s ideal home would be a low traffic one with one or two owners; preferably female. Due to his little dog syndrome he shouldn’t be homed with children. He is cat friendly & doesn’t seem to care about sharing his home with them, or so his foster family was told. Ideally, it would be great for him to be an only dog, but we think he would be okay living with a low key, submissive, older female that isn’t the type to be in his face or push his buttons. Hopefully Skippy’s ideal home is out there & he can bask in all his glory for the rest of his elder years! Skippy is now neutered, up to date with vaccines and microchipped. He did just have a dental in July before coming to us. His adoption fee is $50.00.If you are interested in adopting Skippy, please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.
