In the shelter’s words

Animal Information: Skip got his name because of the things that make him a little different. He was born with deformed back legs, and doesn’t have paws. Skip (who now goes by Hank in his foster home) is estimated to be around 10 months old and was living on a property in Yakima with more than 30 other dogs. Our rescue partners were in the area for a spay and neuter clinic when Skip and his brother Pogo were brought in. Without rescue placement, they would have been altered and released simply because there is not enough space in their local shelter. We knew we could help, so Pogo and Skip are now making their way across the state to Dog Gone Seattle.Despite never having been inside a home, both boys are able to be handled. They are shy and understandably unsure of the world, but they are incredibly sweet. Foster Profile: Skip (aka Hank) is a sweet boy who would loves to cuddle with us and chew on his toys. He is adjusting very well to life here, his little back nubs don't keep him from enjoying a full life. (watch his video to see how much he loves to run and play!) He enjoys hanging out with the resident dogs in his foster home and would be happy with a fur companion in his new home as well. He can be a little nervous around new things but recovers pretty easily. We think another balanced dog in the home would help him feel more confident. He loves to play hard and enjoys sniff spots and goes on 2 mi walks every day! He is crate trained and does well on a leash and has been great with all the people he has met. He is food motivated so training has been pretty easy. Skip enjoys lounging, but is also a curious and loving pup-- the best of both worlds! He would love to be part of a family that can see his potential! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, heartworm test if indicated, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
