DESCRIPTION
The FLOOFY EARS. The sweet face. And the ridiculously good boy personality. We're pretty sure Smokey was created specifically to make people say, “OMG, I NEED HIM.”
• The personality: Sweet, gentle, playful, and just an all-around GOOD BOY.
• Independent but affectionate: He loves following his people around, but he's not clingy. Couch cuddles? Yes. Curling up in his dog bed? Also yes.
• Potty training: Going really well! A few accidents here and there, but honestly... his humans missed his schedule. Smokey is doing his best!
• Perfect sleeper: Sleeps quietly through the night and loves having his humans close by.
• Dog-friendly: LOVES other dogs and is currently working overtime trying to lick his canine foster brother's entire face.
• Bonus Points: He's so quiet and easygoing that sometimes you'll wonder where he went. Spoiler: he's probably off being adorable somewhere.
• Still a baby who needs a home where someone is around during the day.
• Microchipped, vaccinated, and will be neutered at 6 months. Long Island. Adoption fee is $700 plus refundable $50 spay deposit.
