About ALPHARETTA Smokey

Alpharetta Smokey is one of a litter of three Lab, Shepherd, and Hound mix puppies looking for a fresh start thanks to Castoff Pet Rescue’s outreach. Raised with his siblings to keep them out of the shelter system, Smokey is about eight months old and, like his brother and sister, weighs around 15 pounds. These pups were born on September 21, which puts Smokey under the practical and loyal Virgo sun sign—fitting for a puppy that’s ready to bond with a new family. Smokey is described as sweet and loving, with early training on pee pads already underway. He gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a good fit for homes where he’ll have company and play companions. He’s part of a social and affectionate group, ready to work his way further into family life if given the chance. The rescue has stepped in to help Smokey and his siblings find homes where they can grow up loved, out of the shelter, and into the heart of a household. Ready to fall in love?
