Skipper started as a rescue at the age of 4 months old when she was found in Dothan, Alabama, thrown in a dumpster enclosed in a sealed trash bag with her legs tied together and covered head to toe with sarcoptic mange. Skipper has come a long way since her rescue and is a certified therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International, a beginning freestyle dancer, a pre-novice obedience student, and the recipient of this year's Georgia Veterinary Medical Association Companion Animal to be inducted into the Georgia Animal Hall of Fame in November 2005. Mere words cannot express my love for this cutie pie!
