Smokey is a large, black and cream shepherd-lab mix with a medium-length coat and a gentle, calm presence. At about five years old, he’s come from a loving home where he lived harmoniously with multiple dogs of all sizes and with several cats. His previous caregiver, a devoted volunteer, can no longer keep him, and Smokey is now hoping for a new chapter in Bolivar, TN. He’s neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and currently on prevention. Smokey is very people-friendly, good with children, and settles in nicely with other pets. Years of indulging in people food have left him a bit overweight, so he could use someone to help keep him on track toward a healthier weight. He’s also described as a dream on a leash—easy to walk and calmly attentive. If you want a sweet, easygoing companion who slips right into the rhythm of a home, Smokey might be your answer. Give this gentle soul a soft place to land. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
