About Smudge

Meet Smudge! Smudge is a 10-month-old, 25-pound Chihuahua mix with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. She needs a loving home where she can grow into the confident dog she's destined to be. Smudge can feel a bit anxious and timid around new people, but with time and a consistent routine, she opens up beautifully. When she trusts you, she becomes your loyal little shadow, happily following you around. She's great with medium to large friendly dogs and would thrive with a confident canine companion. Smudge prefers a cat-free home and would be best suited for families with children aged 9 and up, who can give her space and help her build trust at her own pace.

If you're ready to offer a sweet, loyal dog the chance to shine, Smudge could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet Smudge today!
