About Smokey

Smokey stands out as a 2.5-year-old Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix weighing around 67 lbs—a true gentle giant with a big, black-and-white presence. He’s vetted, friendly, and loves both people and other dogs. Children light him up, and you’ll rarely see a tail wag harder when kids are near. He’s affectionate and playful, eager for companionship along with lots of adventure after spending too long in kennels. Smokey wants to join a home where he’ll stay active: running, hiking, swimming, or just tagging along for whatever comes next. He does best in homes without cats but thrives with other dogs and a family up for daily activity. With energy to match his size, he’s ready to make up for lost time and dive into every new experience by your side. As a fun fact, Smokey’s June birthday makes him a Gemini—curious and always interested in his surroundings. Think you’re the adventure partner he’s been waiting for? Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
