Skipper is a sweet dog who initially spent his life in a loving home environment, but over the last few years he has experienced a lot of change and instability. He is an affectionate, friendly boy who enjoys meeting people and is always eager to share his warmth and companionship. He loves going on walks, taking in new sights and smells, and he especially enjoys spending relaxed time with his humans. Skipper also values his downtime and is happiest when he has a quiet, cosy space where he can rest undisturbed. Unfortunately, Skipper’s life has involved a series of transitions and changes in recent years, and he has not had the consistency he needs to fully settle. His first move from his original home was through no fault of his own, due to a significant change in family circumstances, and he left a very loved situation where his previous owner was heartbroken to say goodbye. More recently, after a long period in foster care and kenneling to support his transition into a home, he was adopted again. However, this placement has not been successful, as he has struggled to live alongside the resident dog. While he enjoys meeting humans, he is a dog who prefers his own space and company to that of other dogs and cats. He will thrive in a calm, steady household where he is the only pet and who can be given undivided attention.As skipper is no longer a puppy, he may be best suited to a more relaxed, steady lifestyle where he can enjoy routine, comfort, and companionship without too much upheaval. He isn't ready for retirement but a gentle stroll into his autumnal years with a companion is what he truly needs now. He would thrive with a calm, experienced, and committed adopter who is willing to continue working gently with him on any behaviours that may have developed through his unsettled past, and who can give him the consistency and reassurance he has been missing. In the right home, with clear boundaries, kindness, and time to settle, Skipper has every chance to blossom into the loyal, loving companion he is at heart.
