Meet Smokey!

Smokey is a 2 year old male Cane Corso / Weimaraner mix who came to us as a stray. Smokey currently weighs 53 pounds and is fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and ready to find his forever family!

Smokey is dog friendly and currently lives with 2 other dogs in his foster home. We would say that Smokey has a low to moderate energy level. He enjoys playing with the other pups in his foster home, but also enjoys cuddling up on the couch and watching Gilmore Girls with his foster mom! He's very submissive during play with other dogs and loves playing chase.

Smokey would prefer a home without cats.

Smokey walks great on a leash! He can be a little nervous around strangers and might bark out of excitement, but is easily redirected. He does get excited in the beginning and will pull just slightly, but he settles in and walks calmly by your side once the excitement wears off.

Smokey is fully potty trained and is sure to only do his business outside. Smokey is not a huge fan of the crate. He will go into the crate to rest, but he prefers to not be shut in the crate. Smokey does have some separation anxiety and will cry for a bit when you leave. He doesn't tear anything up and he does stop crying, but for this reason, we think Smokey would be best suited for someone with a house and not an apartment. Smokey would LOVE a home with someone who works from home or is only away from the home for a few hours a day, but his foster dad currently works 8 hour days. He does well if left to free roam.

Here's a small blurb about Smokey from his foster home:
Smokey is a super sweet boy that just wants love and attention! He is super smart and a quick learner. He's very submissive and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He doesn't love being away from his humans and if they plan to crate him, he will cry and whine. He would also do really well in a home with a doggie companion as he loves playing with other dogs. If I had to describe Smokey in a few words it would be "kind-hearted" and "affectionate". He's so ready for a family to love! With his gentle nature and friendly personality, he's the perfect companion for someone looking for a laid-back, easygoing dog. Smokey is a total couch potato who's more than happy to hang out and relax with you all day! Smokey would thrive in a low traffic home due to his shyness with new people. If you’re looking for a dog who enjoys a good snuggle and quiet time, Smokey is your guy! Smokey is dog-friendly and enjoys a good game of chase with his canine friends. On walks, he gets excited when he sees other dogs, but he remains friendly and easy to redirect. Smokey would thrive in a home that offers love, patience, and a cozy place to rest. He’s a loyal, sweet companion who just wants to be part of a family. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily curl up beside you and provide gentle companionship, Smokey is your guy!

The Cane Corso, known for its muscular build and imposing presence, is a formidable yet loyal Italian mastiff breed. With origins tracing back to ancient Roman times, these powerful dogs were initially used for hunting, guarding, and protection. Today, they are beloved family companions, displaying a calm and affectionate temperament towards their owners. The Cane Corso's distinctive appearance, intelligence, and protective instincts make them popular choices for experienced dog owners seeking a devoted yet vigilant companion.

The Weimaraner is a graceful and noble breed known for its distinctive silver gray coat and striking light eyes. Originally bred in Germany for hunting large game such as deer, boar, and bear, Weimaraners are versatile working dogs that excel in various roles, including hunting, tracking, search and rescue, and as loving companions. With their high energy levels and intelligence, Weimaraners require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive and make loyal, affectionate family pets.

Heart of the Underdog's wish is that no animal will have to endure the pain and suffering of a life...
