About Smoke
Meet Smoke, a delightful 6-month-old puppy weighing in at 27 pounds (and still growing!). This charming male, with a striking merle coat and those hilarious floppy ears, has a personality that matches his appearance. Originally discovered as a stray in Texas, Smoke has transitioned beautifully into life in a loving home, where he’s learning to embrace the joys of family life. Smoke is not just cute; he’s also incredibly affectionate and friendly. He thrives in an environment where he can play with kids and other dogs. His temperament is laid-back, and he enjoys leisurely afternoons in the backyard, exploring, or taking a well-deserved nap after some playtime. While he is still mastering his potty training and crate skills, he’s making impressive progress thanks to his food motivation and intelligence. Although he loves meal times and can be a little mouthy during play, he’s eager to learn commands and enjoys his daily walks. Smoke prefers a home with an active lifestyle and a securely fenced yard. His enthusiasm for life—especially when it comes to sniffing out new adventures—makes him an ideal furry companion for an active family. This lovable pup isn’t the biggest fan of his crate just yet, but with patience and consistency, he’s sure to thrive. If you’re looking for a puppy who brings joy, laughter, and companionship into your home, consider making Smoke a part of your family. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
