Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Come see Smokey at Burnett's Country Garden in beautiful Salem, CT on October 26th and 27th from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
Here is more information about me:
Smokey was picked up as a stray. His owners were located but they never came to get him, even when told he would be euthanized. He was found covered in huge mats and his coat filled with bramble pieces
GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEAL HOME:
Smokey is a typical Schnauzer...he is bold, curious and embraces each new adventure with gusto. Smokey is playful and loves to be the center of attention. He's a busybody, being very concerned with what his animal and human friends are doing. He wants to ensure he's included in the fun. He also can be quiet, snugly and has a very sweet heart. Any toy you would like to toss his way he will love.
GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative
ADOPTION FEES
Rescues participating in our events are not allowed to charge more than $385 an adoption fee and some adoption fees are much less - it depends on what the rescue chooses to charge - Dog Days does not take any portion of the adoption fees.

ADOPTION PROCESS - Before the Event
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption weekend. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.
ADOPTION PROCESS - During the Event Weekend
-- Plan on spending at least three to four hours going through the adoption process. We want you to be completely confident in your new pal so we will ask you to speak to a trainer, a veterinarian as well as interview with a member of our adoption team and the rescue.
-- As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog.
-- PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.
Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.
EVENT TIMES AND LOCATION:
October 26th and 27th from 11am to 4pm at Burnett's Country Gardens in Salem, CT.
