Skip Is Looking For His Fun And Permanent Family

Skip has been a resident at the Humane Society's Pets Fur People in Tyler, Texas for quite some time now. He enjoys shelter life because his food is being delivered daily, his other canine friends are there, and he loves the attention he receives from the staff. However, the thing that Skip really craves is love from a permanent family.

Skip is a big healthy guy and he's pretty gentle according to Gayle Helms, Pet Fur People's executive director.

He is 5-years-old and weighs about eighty pounds. Gayly believes he and would fit into a home with older children simply because of his size. Don't let his age or size fool you, he's still got a lot of energy, loves to play, and gets along pretty well with other dogs and cats too.

Skip is a Shepherd mix with a striking tan face, brown eyes, and a black and tan coat. He came to live at Pets Fur People because his owner could no longer care for him due to his owner's ill health.

Skip will go home with a starter kit of food, a big fluffy dog bed, a collar, and a leash.
