About Smooch

Meet Smooch, a sweet and gentle soul waiting for a loving home. At just 2 years old, this 33-pound Heeler mix has a unique light brindle coat and soulful brown eyes that draw you in. Smooch thrives on affection; she loves a good belly rub and quickly shows how much love she has to give. Currently in a busy shelter, Smooch is feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Her shy and submissive nature makes her more comfortable in a calm environment, and she’s likely to pancake down when scared. This means she needs a patient adopter who is understanding and can help her feel safe as she adjusts. Smooch is good with dogs, although she prefers older kids. With the right person to trust, she listens well and is eager to please. Smooch has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on all vaccines. Now, she’s just waiting for you to give her a soft place to land. Could you be the one to help her thrive? Don’t hesitate; apply today and bring her home to a more peaceful life!
