Meet Smudge! 🎉 This delightful buddy has made a remarkable journey from the brink of despair to a heartwarming cuddle monster! When Smudge first arrived at the shelter, he weighed a mere 16 lbs, and it was heartbreaking to see every bone on his little body. But hold on to your hats, because after some loving foster care, this charming soul has gained over 7 lbs and is positively thriving! 🎈 While he still needs to beef up a tad, he's ready to find his forever family. Let’s talk about Smudge’s personality! He’s a certified 10/10 cuddler and clinger – yes, you heard it right! 🤗 If you think he won’t follow you everywhere, think again! Going to the bathroom? He’s right there at your feet. 🌟 Heading to the kitchen? You bet he’s your little shadow. Off to work? Smudge is begging to tag along! Cuddling on the couch? This is his all-time favorite! Get ready for endless snuggles, folks! But wait, there’s more! Smudge is a toy enthusiast extraordinaire! 🧸🎾 He loves toys of all shapes and sizes, and let’s be honest, he’s the demolition expert of the playroom! He will destroy those toys with joy, so it’s best to equip him with sturdy ones. He can chew on them for hours, preferably right next to you on the couch, because that’s where all the action happens! 😄 Now, let’s chat about his doggy social skills! During his foster care, Smudge has shown himself to be great friends with dogs of all sizes. However, fair warning: he’s a bit of a solo artist when it comes to his toys and food—totally understandable given his rough start in life! While he’d shine as an only dog, he could also thrive in a home with another furry friend who respects his space. Good news is, Smudge is fully potty-trained in his foster home! 🏠 But, as is the case with any move, he may need a little time to adjust and avoid marking in his new abode. Just like any talented superstar, he’ll need a touch of guidance to become more independent when left home alone. He initially did well when free-roaming, but after he decided to gnaw on a wall (who could blame him for being bored!), he’s been crated and does fairly well there, despite a few barks at first before he settles down. Smudge is overflowing with love and ready to shower his new family with it! ❤️ This little joy is eager to find a dedicated forever home that can provide all the love and care he truly deserves.
