About Smokey TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE

Smokey is a happy guy rolling with a big heart and a gentle spirit. He’s built for comfort—Netflix, snacks, and lounging are all he asks for at this point in life. Smokey works around a past spinal injury (Spinal Spondylosis) that’s managed smoothly with daily meds. He’ll need someone who understands those minor bumps and is willing to stick to a routine. Currently, Smokey is being treated for heartworm, so a foster-to-adopt home is ideal while he finishes treatment. This isn’t a high-maintenance dog—Smokey’s real wishlist is simple: love, a warm spot, and steady company. There’s no facility to visit, but if you’re local to Oxford, MI, Smokey is looking for a calm place to land while he gets the medical support he needs, plus someone who appreciates his loyal companionship.
