Hi all! My name is Smuckers. Have you ever tasted Raspberry Jam? If you have then you will know why I got my name as Smuckers jam is super sweet, just like me! I came into care with the good folks at MUR along with my two pups- Jif and Skippy. They have been adopted into wonderful homes and now it's my turn to find a place to call my own.

I have been learning a lot of things with my foster family. I am fully house and crate trained. I have been learning to be around other dogs in a polite fashion and although I'd rather not share my home with one, I can have doggy friends so long as playtime is supervised in case one of us gets too excited. I'm not a huge fan of little humans as they can make me uneasy, so a home with no kids under 16 is a must for me. Cats and small animals are pretty exciting for me as I like to chase them so I need someone to help me learn to leave them alone. I am pretty good at walking on a leash but sometimes need to be reminded about leash manners because I can be reactive. I bet taking a class with me would help set us up for success and help us learn and grow together. Maybe a reactive class would be good so we can both learn how to redirect if something gets me overly excited.

I know sit, stay, down, leave it and even shake. Shake comes in handy when you like swimming as much as me so I don’t shake at the wrong time and get everyone wet. I appreciate being introduced slowly to canine companions so that I don’t get overwhelmed with our first hello.

I do love a good bone to chew on; there is nothing quite like it. Foster mom says I am gentle but also curious, which I am told is a great combination. I do have some allergies, both food and environmental, so I am on a strict hypoallergenic diet. I need my new family to make sure they keep watch so I don’t get a flare-up and we can catch it quickly!

If you are looking for the perfect companion to warm your feet while you relax, I am the perfect gal for you.

I have completed the following classes:
Basic Obedience with Pliant Pack Positive Dog Training
Impulse Control with Pliant Pack Positive Dog Training
Reactive K9 with Pliant Pack Positive Dog Training
Tricks and Brain Games Pliant Pack Positive Dog Training
Sport Foundations with Pliant Pack Positive Dog Training
