Mr. Smiling Skippy - Schnauzer and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Ridgefield, Washington

Hi. I’m Skippy.

The Little Dog Who Loves to Smile

Have you ever met someone who just seems to be smiling all the time?

That’s me.

I’m a 1-year-old Schnauzer x Griffon-type mix, weighing about 6–9 kg, and I’m basically a big personality packed into a very small body.

I’m playful, cheerful, affectionate, social and always ready for whatever fun might be happening next.

Life is an adventure, and I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to be invited.



**My adoption fee is $800 USD.**

Here’s What I’m Like

I love people.

I love playing.

I love exploring.

And I really love being part of things.

I’m the kind of little guy who seems to wake up every morning thinking, “What are we doing today?”

I’m social and affectionate, but I also have plenty of playful energy. Whether it’s going for a walk, learning something new or just finding a reason to zoom around, I’m ready!

I’m also a smart boy who enjoys learning, so training is something I really enjoy.

I get along well with other dogs.

I’m good with cats too.

I haven’t had the chance to meet children yet, but I’m a friendly, social boy and my family can help me make new introductions in a positive way.


A Few Things I Already Know

I’m only one year old, but I’m already doing pretty well!

I’m fully house-trained.

I know how to walk on a leash.

I can stay home alone without separation anxiety being observed.

And I’m ready to keep learning with my forever family.

There is one thing you should know about me, though.

My fabulous wiry coat needs regular brushing to keep me looking handsome and tangle-free.

I think that sounds like a pretty reasonable price to pay for all this personality.


What I Want Now

I want a family who likes to have fun.

Someone who will take me on walks and adventures.

Someone who will teach me new things.

Someone who will laugh when I get the zoomies.

Someone who will appreciate my little happy face when I come running to greet them.

And when the day's adventures are over, I want a cozy place to curl up with my people.


If you're looking for:

A cheerful little companion

A playful and affectionate boy

A social pup who enjoys dogs and cats

A smart dog who loves to learn

A house-trained youngster

And a little guy with a huge personality and an apparently permanent smile...

Maybe I’m your boy.


I’m ready for the next adventure.

I just need my forever family to join me.

Yours Truly,

Skippy
