Hi there, I am a handsome 6-month-old, 25 lb Labrador retriever mix with a liver nose and amber eyes, I’m sweet and friendly and my name is Smith. I was found with my doggy friends Mike & Jones living/barely surviving in a swampy area in Castroville Texas. We were skin and bones and drinking from the swamp when our now foster mom spotted us. She actually walked through the hip-high water to carry each of us back to her car and a few weeks later when I had put on some weight, I was vaccinated and neutered so I’m ready to find a forever home.
Turns out I am a lovely boy. Friendly and welcoming right from the start, I get along great with everyone dogs cats kids you name it and I’m just looking for love and pets and kisses and snuggles. My foster mom says I’m a sweetheart, patient, and trusting, and you can see the gratitude in my beautiful eyes every time I gaze at you. I’m housebroken and well-behaved. I love walks and car rides. I learned how to use a doggy door by watching the other dogs so I must be pretty smart. I am totally ready to be someone's forever dog so let's get this party started! East Coast people, inquire about me today and bring me home!

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
