When Skip’s owner could no longer care for him due to health challenges, he didn’t arrive alone—he came in with Fanny, his constant companion and emotional anchor. Through every change, every transition, and every unfamiliar place, these two have stayed side by side. That bond isn’t just sweet—it’s non-negotiable. They must be adopted together.
Skip may be a senior, and he may be managing kidney disease, but none of that defines him the way his gentle heart does. What stands out most is how deeply affectionate he is, especially when he’s with Fanny nearby, as if her presence is what makes everything feel okay.
Now, this bonded pair is hoping for something simple: a calm place where they can finally stay.
