Meet Smokey! This handsome 2-year-old neutered Lab mix weighs in at 56 pounds of pure fun. He’s fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on all preventatives ready to head home with his forever family. Smokey is playful, smart, and delightfully silly. He has a moderate energy level and loves to roughhouse with other dogs, but he’s great at picking up on cues and knows when it’s time to settle down. He’s friendly when meeting new dogs and would truly thrive with a confident, playful dog sibling to show him the ropes. He’s been around kids while crated and remained calm during their visits. Smokey can be okay with cats. He’s definitely curious and may try to initiate a playful chase at times, though other times he doesn’t bother with them at all. He’s a social, happy guy who does well meeting new people. If someone comes into the house, he’s friendly; if they’re outside, he’ll give a little bark to let you know. Smokey doesn’t resource guard and is happy to share, though he does think just about everything might be edible! He enjoys toys, can be a little nervous in the car, and does fine with stairs. Smokey sleeps next to his fosters bed all night and doesn't stir until morning. Overall, Smokey is an amazing, funny boy who will flourish in a moderately active home with a patient family and a friendly dog companion. With love and structure, he’s going to make someone an incredible best friend.
Ideal Home
Smokey would thrive in a moderately active home with a patient family and a confident, playful dog sibling to show him the ropes.
Ongoing Health
Smokey is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on all preventatives.
Training & Support
Smokey is still learning the basics. He needs patient training for walking on leash, as he can be all over the place even with a harness. He is not a fan of the crate but settles once inside and should be crated when left alone (no longer than 9 hours) as he can be rambunctious and an escape artist. He also thinks just about everything might be edible, so supervision and training will be key.
