Story
** Skipper is on a Patient Paw Sleepover! Wish him luck! **Meet Skipper, a gorgeous young pup who is still learning how to feel safe in this world. Skipper arrived under-socialized, fearful and with very few life skills. He has already made progress in our care, and although many may see these wins as small steps, we know that they are huge milestones for him!With patience and distant encouragement, his personality has been slowly peeking through - especially in moments of excitement, when he surprises us with adorable play bows, bouncy hops, and bursts of zooming around his kennel. In those rare moments, he’s saying in his own way, “you’re my friend,” and earning that trust has been so rewarding for staff and volunteers. Skipper will need a calm, adult-only home that understands fear-based behavior and can move at his pace. He is not suited to apartment or condo living and will need a secure yard or rural placement as he continues to build confidence with harness training and may not be ready for regular walks for some time. He has lived with other dogs before, and we think a confident, people-loving pup could help Skipper out! Cats and small animals are an unknown, but with slow intros, he could enjoy smaller friends, too. We know that his journey will take time (and that we may be asking a lot), but every accomplishment, big or small, will mean the world. If you have a passion for animals, feel-good moments and rewarding challenges, Skipper might be your man!Skipper is:- no kids, looking for adult-only home with secure backyard- unknown with cats and small animals, slow intros required- open to dogs pending successful intro
