ver he goes. He’s a naturally sweet dog who loves being close to his people, happily curling up beside them or following them from room to room. Though calm and easygoing, Skip still shows flashes of youthful energy and curiosity, reminding you that he’s just coming out of his puppy stage. He gets along beautifully with other dogs, is respectful of cats, and even coexists peacefully with caged birds. His patience with children—especially the toddler in his foster home—is remarkable, and he handles their unpredictable antics with quiet tolerance. Skip has made excellent progress with training; he’s gone two weeks without an accident, knows basic commands, and is very food‑motivated. He’s also an unusually quiet dog who rarely barks. Skip can be shy when meeting new people, particularly men, but once he feels safe, he opens up into a warm, cuddly companion who loves attention and belly rubs. Because of his gentle nature and lingering puppy tendencies, he would thrive in a home with another friendly dog or an active family who can include him in their daily routines. Skip is a loving, adaptable dog who’s ready to become a cherished member of a family who appreciates his soft heart and sweet spirit. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
