Skippy - Husky and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Toronto, Ontario

SOME DOGS JUST NEED A PLACE TO BE OLD.

Meet Skippy, a precious 14-year-old senior who was found as a stray and taken to a shelter. He wasn't doing well there. The stress was simply too much for an old boy who should have been sleeping peacefully in a warm bed, surrounded by love.

Skippy is now safe in a loving foster home, and he's learning what it feels like to relax again.

He is neutered, house trained, walks beautifully on leash, loves other dogs, adores people, enjoys short walks and LOVES his naps.

At 14, Skippy doesn't need much.

Just a soft bed, a quiet home, a few short walks, a full belly.
And someone who will love him for whatever time he has left.

We are now accepting applications for Skippy.

Could you be the person who gives this old boy a place to spend his final years feeling safe, loved and wanted?

He may not have years ahead of him. But he deserves to have someone beside him for every one of them.
