You can see more beautiful dogs by visiting our Adoptable Dogs page. Looking for a social, calm, loving, handsome best friend? Your search may be over—Smokie just may be your boy! This young guy came in as a stray, very underweight at 67 lbs. and should be closer to 90; he is ready to close that chapter and meet his furever family! Smokie is the friendliest boy, happy to meet other dogs, getting along well with males and females. He doesn’t even get annoyed when they run up and get in his face trying to engage rough play. We are not sure he has every played, so we eagerly waiting to see if he learns. His favorite thing is to sit next to his people so they can pet him :) He is not shy when meeting new people, warming up quickly. He has not been around children, but based on his friendly, calm personality he should be just fine with them. Smokie is currently in boarding, but he is very comfortable in the house and is crate trained. He loves to roll around on his back, whether it be on the carpet or the grass—he is just happy to be loved! Smokie is great at riding in the car, jumping right in when asked, and did very well being groomed, even when it was time to clip mats from his tail! Cats—no problem—he greets them with a tail wag so he could be placed with feline(s) siblings. This boy would do great with a big, fenced yard or as a leash walk dog; he simply wants a home with plenty of love and companionship! He is just so friendly and gentle, sitting by his person, patiently waiting for pets—he never tires of attention! Could Smokie be your family’s new best friend?

Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority. We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding.
