About Smokie Referral all mixed

Smokie is in the care of All Mixed Up Dog Rescue and is looking for a special home. This mixed breed boy, a blend of German Shepherd, Husky, and more, is about 4 years old. He has spent most of his life in rescue and, unfortunately, didn't get the socialization he needed, making him wary of people, especially men. Due to this, he would thrive best in a female-only home. Smokie enjoys playing fetch and has good house manners and kennel training. He loves car rides and quiet walks. Although he has not lived with cats, he's shown no reactivity around them and could likely adapt with some effort and training. Smokie can be timid outside his safe space, so a quiet home with minimal noise and traffic is essential. Homes should have a fenced backyard where he can run and play freely. An adopter willing to invest time and patience into helping him develop his social skills would be ideal. Ready to be a part of Smokie’s journey? Click apply to start the adoption process.
