Meet Smokey
Smokey lost his foster home on Christmas Day when he chased a cat while visiting his foster's relative. Now he's living in a boarding kennel and needs a new foster or adopter ASAP.
On a recent vet visit for an exam and to have some skin tags checked out (benign!), Smokey handled all the poking and prodding with good-natured grace. He remained friendly throughout. Smokey has a couple of bites on his record, which baffled everyone because he is such a generally friendly boy. That vet visit helped us understand what might have happened. It turns out that 12-year-old Smokey has cataracts which impair his vision, and it may be that he was startled and scared. For this reason, even though Smokey likes kids and is gentle, he will need an adults-only home where he won't come in contact with kids.
Smokey makes friends everywhere he goes. If you understand and love dogs and can open your home to a senior in need, maybe Smokey is the guy for you. To apply to foster or adopt, use the links below.
**We are no longer placing dogs for adoption in apartments. Adopters must have a fenced backyard.**
