One look at Skip and you know he's a trip and full of life and energy.

Having a shiny, beautiful, black, tan and white coat along with those golden eyes and cute pointed ears, Skip is a head turner and is described as a 'big lover boy! He is currently looking for a new fur-ever home because he was surrendered to the Humane Society's Pets Fur People in Tyler because his owners' health was declining and could no longer care for this eighty-pound guy. Skip is energetic and would thrive the best as a member of an active family with older children mainly because of his size.

Skip has been neutered, is current on starting vaccinations, including rabies, and has been microchipped for identification purposes. He will also go home with a starter kit of food, a collar and leash and a certificate for half price on basic obedience training from Tyler Obedience Training Club.
