Meet Smokey the Bear! 🌟 This little dynamo may be small, weighing in at just 18 pounds, but he’s packed full of bravery and heart! Imagine him as the honorary hero of your home—a senior Chihuahua/Terrier mix who has been through more than any pup should ever have to endure. Smokey’s journey has not been an easy one; he came to us with a luxated left hip, a few healing rib fractures, and some puncture wounds—oh, the drama! But don’t let those battle scars fool you; Smokey is a gentle soul with a spirit that sparkles despite the challenges. 🐾💖 This charming guy is recovering like a champ! He eats with the sophistication only a true connoisseur of canine cuisine would have— meals must be served on a plate or in a small metal bowl. Because yes, he has preferences! And while he’s getting his groove back, smooth floors can be a bit tricky for our little hero, so having rugs or textured paths is essential to help him feel secure as he conquers his surroundings. For the next month, Smokey’s activities should be low-key. A trusty sling will be his sidekick to help him navigate when he’s on the move. But after all he’s overcome, this sweet bundle of fur just wants a calm, loving home where he can heal and enjoy the comforts deservingly bestowed upon a senior dog. 🏡❤️ He’s on several medications to aid in his recovery, with a vet recheck scheduled in about a month. Depending on how his hip continues to heal, there might be a chance for surgery down the road. But that’s just another adventure waiting to happen! If your heart beats for senior dogs and you long for a companion who will shower you with quiet love, gratitude, and a whole lot of warmth, then Smokey the Bear is waiting for you. 🌈✨ Want to make a difference in the life of a little hero?
