About Smokey

I was born in October 2025, which means I'm still very much a puppy! I wake up every morning ready to take on the world with zoomies, games, adventures, and lots of fun. If you're looking for a couch potato, keep scrolling. If you're looking for a four-legged workout buddy and professional toy inspector, I'm your guy! I have one important request: I really need another active, large dog in my forever home. I learn so much from my canine friends, and I absolutely love having a buddy to wrestle, chase, and burn off all this puppy energy with. Life is just better when you have a best friend to play with! I also happen to think cats are pretty cool. I'm happy to share my home with feline friends and have learned to respect them. Everyone tells me I'm a very sweet boy, and I love being around my people. I'll happily accept belly rubs, ear scratches, and compliments about how handsome I am. Now, I do have one tiny confession... I'm still in my "everything belongs in my mouth" phase. Shoes? Interesting. Socks? Delicious-looking. Table legs? Worth investigating. Puppy toys are definitely my favorite, but I'm still learning what is and isn't appropriate to chew. With patience, supervision, plenty of chew toys, and continued training, I'll grow out of this stage. Until then, you'll want to keep your favorite belongings picked up—and maybe laugh a little when I proudly parade around with something I wasn't supposed to find. I'm looking for a family that understands puppies take time, consistency, and lots of love. In return, I promise endless entertainment, unconditional love, and enough happy tail wags to brighten every single day. If you're ready for adventures, laughter, and a lifetime of companionship, I can't wait to meet you. Let's grow up together!
