About Smokey

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 has 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.

Ideal Home

Smokey would thrive in a moderately active home with a patient family and a friendly dog companion. He does get nervous in the car and is not a fan of the crate, though he settles once inside and should be crated when left alone (no longer than 9 hours) since he can be rambunctious and a bit of an escape artist.

Ongoing Health

Smokey is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on all preventatives.

Training & Support

Smokey is still very much a puppy at heart and is learning the basics. On leash, Smokey is a work in progress. He does much better with a harness but can still be all over the place and will need patient training. He sleeps next to his fosters bed all night and doesn't stir until morning.
