About Smoke

Meet Smoke, a striking Flat-Coated Retriever mix who’s just arrived in Elkton, MD from North Carolina. Estimated at about 6 to 7 years old, Smoke carries himself with a calm, gentle presence that’s easy to fall for. Coming from a breeder environment, he’s still getting used to new sights and sounds, and the leash remains a big curiosity (and source of worry) for him. At the moment, he’s uncertain but not withdrawn—just cautious, and clearly wanting reassurance. Smoke recently tested slightly heartworm positive, but all care and treatment will be provided to ensure he gets healthy again. He’s already house trained and works well inside, but the outside world is new territory. With patience, a soft approach, and a comforting routine, you’ll see him relax and thrive. This gentle soul is ready for someone who understands that trust takes time. They don’t come much sweeter. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
