About Smokey

Meet Smokey, your future little shadow and loving companion! This 1-year-old Yorkie mix is ready to find a home where he can share his affection and loyalty. His previous family surrendered him, and while they estimated him to be around one year old, Smokey's calm demeanor suggests he might be a touch older. This handsome little gentleman prefers the simple joys in life, opting for quiet moments over the chaos of puppy energy. At first, Smokey may be a bit shy and nervous when meeting new people, but with time and patience, his true personality emerges. Once comfortable, he’s right at your feet, looking up with those sweet, expressive eyes. Smokey is incredibly affectionate and loves snuggling up beside his favorite humans. He enjoys car rides, walks, and of course, is a foodie who relishes every meal. Recently groomed, he’s revealed his adorable self, bringing a mix of Yorkie and possibly Shih Tzu charm. Smokey is wee-wee pad trained and also likes to go outside, but consistency is key for him. He might have accidents occasionally if not taken out regularly. Due to his adjusting nature, Smokey would thrive in a home where someone is present often—ideally, a work-from-home setup or a household that can provide him plenty of time and companionship. He seems to prefer a quiet environment, making him a better fit for an adult home. He has a good chance of getting along with cats and dogs, making him adaptable to a family setting if his new companions are gentle and understanding. Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, Smokey is all set to start his new life. He simply seeks a loving family who will cherish him and give him the stability he craves. Could this family be yours?
