Hi there, future friend!
My name is Skip, and I have a feeling we could be the perfect match.
I had a wonderful life prior to entering the rescue- however my owner lost his wife and needed to enter an aged care facility where they wouldn't let me come. Thanks to a wonderful foster carer and Off The Chain K9 Rescue, I was given a second chance!
Since coming into foster care, I’ve been such a great addition to the family. I live with a large breed male dog and we get along just fine. I wasn't super playful with him at the start, preferring time to myself, but I'm getting used to him and we play now. At night, I’m a real sweetheart—I love snuggling on the couch for TV time and then settling into my crate outside to the patio where I sleep soundly through the night. Car rides are a hoot and I like baths too, and having a dip in the clam shell pool
I've got a big heart and tend to form a close bond with my favorite person, so I need an owner who understands my loyal nature. I don't like cats so please don't try to make me live with them. I love children and adults though and am a very sweet girl! To keep me safe, I’d like a home with a 5-foot fence or taller. I’m looking for a special human who can spend lots of quality time with me and help me keep learning every day! I’d love an owner who’s home often or works part-time, so we can be together and work on my training as a team. With your guidance, I know I can be the best companion ever! I’m ready to give you my full loyalty and lots of love in return.
So, what do you say? If you’ve made it this far, maybe it’s a sign! I might just be the perfect companion you’ve been looking for. Apply to adopt me today—I can’t wait to meet you!

We will take into consideration the pet's ability to travel safely and comfortably before agreeing to send them on transport, and expect a high level of care from whatever company is engaged to move the animal.
