Smoochie the Kisser is a 1 year, 7 month old lovebug who lives up to his name — this sweet boy is all about affection. Playful, gentle, and wonderfully docile, Smoochie has the kind of easygoing, loving personality that makes everyone fall for him. He is extremely friendly with people of all ages and recently lived in a foster home with a 7-year-old autistic child, where he was gentle, affectionate, and absolutely wonderful.

Smoochie is fantastic with other dogs, cat friendly, and has all the makings of an amazing family companion. He’s leash trained, crate trained, and house trained, making him as easy to live with as he is to love. Whether he’s playing, cuddling, or handing out kisses, Smoochie is just a special dog looking for his forever people. He is heartworm negative, neutered, fully vetted, and up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention. Apply at EHRDOGS.ORG.
