Story
We have had Skuba for 4 years. He originally is my daughters dog and she is now grown and does not have the time for him, and he is too much work for me to permanently take on. He misses his brother (red dog) who passed 2 years ago. I do not have the time for him, nor do I have the attachment to him, and he is very jealous and aggressive to my 70lb dog. Skuba should be the only dog in the home, as he is temperamental and will snap at other dogs. He likes to be the center of attention. He is very sweet and loves outdoors and playing in the water. He loves getting sprays from the hose and lots of cuddles. He deserves someone who has the time and undivided attention for him. Hope Skuba can find a forever home with YOU!!!
