Meet Smudge, the delightful mix breed who's bringing a whole new meaning to the term 'pawsitive' vibes! At approximately 3.5 years old and weighing around 20 pounds, this handsome fella is neutered and fully vaccinated, ready to embark on his next adventure with a loving family. Now, let's just say Smudge has a little learning to do—he's on his way to mastering crate training, but he’ll need a sprinkle of patience when it comes to potty and leash training. Soon enough, he’ll be strutting his stuff like a seasoned pro! 🎉 But it’s not just about training; it’s about connection! Smudge is overflowing with affection and playfulness, though he might get a little shy when confronted with unexpected situations. Don’t worry—give him a moment to soak in the love, and he's bound to flourish! He plays well with most dogs (he’d thrive with a female buddy!) and is perfect for households with adults and older children. Before you know it, he’ll be integrating into the family rhythm like he was always meant to be there! 🐾 Now, let’s talk about his journey. Smudge was discovered in the fields of Tecate, trapped in a cage in the middle of the street, where he had faced unimaginable hardships including battles with distemper and Anaplasmosis. But with the tender care of a fostering angel, he’s transformed into a healthy dynamo ready to give and receive love! ❤️ This sweetheart simply longs for a human to shower him with the patience, attention, and affection he craves—a warm, loving home where he can shine like the star he is! 🌟 Don’t you think he deserves a chance to be cherished as part of a family?
