Meet Smokey Topaz!
Absolute sweetheart with a soft, gentle disposition
Timid and still building confidence - would thrive with another dog to guide him
Non-reactive and open to everyone he meets, both people and dogs
Wonderful with the foster's 10-year-old - zero aggression
Sleeps through the night in his crate
Displays good potty manners in his foster home. Routine is key.
Very quiet - not much of a barker
Hesitant coming inside, but follows the resident dog's lead
Comes alive during backyard play sessions with his dog friend
Good eater at mealtimes; still figuring out what treats are
Enjoyed his first walk - definitely a puller, but with great stamina and potential as a future running buddy
Once he relaxes, he does an adorable "floor flop" and melts right in
No resource guarding; comfortably shares bones, water, and allows handling during meals
A loving, gentle soul who will make a wonderful addition to almost any home
Smokey Topaz is the kind of dog who blossoms with patience, routine, and a confident canine friend - a truly special boy ready for his forever family.
