How this pet arrived: Smokie was brought in by his previous owner on September 11, 2024
Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Smokie, a sweet and sensitive soul looking for a calm and quiet home where he can truly feel at ease. While he may feel nervous around new faces and places at first, Smokie does warm up with time and patience. He prefers to keep his world small, enjoying peaceful walks around the block or playtime in the yard over crowded parks or events. Due to his timid nature, Smokie needs to go to a home without children under the age of 12. He is not a fan of being left alone, so a family familiar with this behavior and how to management it would be ideal. Smokie has shown positive social behaviors with other dogs here at the shelter and may do well with other canines in the home. He is potty trained (though a refresher wouldn't hurt!), and knows how to "sit." Smokie also loves playing in water and walks well on a leash. If you're ready to give Smokie the gentle environment he needs, come ask about adopting him today - we'll even send you home with his leash and collar to set you up for success!
