Skippy is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.
In May, 2024, Skippy took the next step in his journey and entered Advanced Training where he’ll learn the skills needed to support his future partner.
After careful consideration, Skippy has been released from the Puppy Raising Program in June, 2024. He has decided that the pet life is for him, and has settled in beautifully to his new home. We hope that he enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Skippy’s journey. All the best to you, Skippy!
