Meet Skippy, A Dog With Leaps & Bounds
CARE dog Skippy greets each day with enthusiasm. This black spaniel/terrier mix with a white bib is always rarin' to go.
Skippy says, "I'm ready to bond once I get to know and trust you. I'm a smart and willing student. I do have a sensitive side since I've had a bit of a rough go until now, which means, as happy and playful as I am, we still need to go slow to help build my confidence. Right now I get very excited when I see another dog, but CARE volunteers are helping me to learn how to control myself and relax. I'm looking for direction and guidance from you to bring out my best and to help me mature."
