About Smokey

Meet Smokey, our new Blue Tick boy and the latest addition to the HERO pack!

In his foster home, Smokey enjoys being the only pup, but his time at the shelter proved he gets along well with other dogs and children. He's ready to find his forever family, who will surely benefit from his affectionate demeanor and charming personality. Give Smokey the home he’s been waiting for!
