Meet Smokie! This handsome blend of German Shepherd, Husky, Malamute, and Cattle Dog, at the sprightly age of 4, is on a journey to find his forever home. Imagine starting off shy, but just like the journey of self-discovery we all cherish, he will blossom with a little time, love, and of course, squeaky tennis balls or tasty treats! 🌟 Initially, Smokie might appear a bit timid, especially around men. He’s got a bark that says ‘I’m protecting my space!’ So, a gentle approach is key to winning this sweet boy’s heart. Once you break through that shyness, you’ll find an ardent fetch enthusiast who revels in the joy of play! 🎾✨ With solid house manners and kennel training under his belt, Smokie is quite the gentleman—and trust us, he knows how to charm his way into your heart. Now, let’s be real—Smokie's got some quirks. He has a high prey drive, which means it’s best not to have any cats or small critters around. Plus, if you have little ones, he’d prefer a home without children; they might just be a bit too lively for him! 🚫👶 Foster mom says that Smokie is making amazing progress, but the scenery outside can still be a bit daunting for him. That’s why a calm, quiet home in a serene neighborhood—far from the hustle and bustle of traffic—is just what this lovely boy needs. A backyard for him to frolic and unleash his spirited sides is a must! 🌼 His future human buddy should be patient and ready to guide him on his social journey; he just awaits the right person to show him how wonderful life can be!
