Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Smokey is an adorable chiweenie girl who is approximately nine years old and weighs under ten pounds. She found herself in the shelter when her owner lost her job and couldn’t keep her anymore. This sweet girl was terrified in the shelter but has learned to relax and feel secure once again in her loving foster home.
Smokey enjoys riding in the car, taking walks around the neighborhood, and chasing squirrels! Her foster home includes several other small dogs and Smokey does great with all of them. She likes being near the members of her foster family but not necessarily on our laps. She sometimes perches on the back of our couch! Smokey hasn’t been very playful yet, but her sweet personality continues to reveal itself so her playful side may still emerge. She takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people but she is a very sweet and friendly girl once she feels comfortable with someone.
Smokey is totally housebroken. She does not like being crated but she has been totally trustworthy when left uncrated when we’ve been gone.
Smokey is spayed, microchipped, and current on Trifexis. If you are interested in adding this precious girl to your family you may apply to adopt her at http://forrescue.net/dog-application/. This sweet girl is fostered in Huntsville, AL, but is available for adoption in your area.
