My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My mother got me Smiley from a Craigslist ad who advertised him for free. He was cheery and always happy to see you, high energetic, and playful. The problem we noticed was that the family who had him before hadn't continued to enforce his previous training and he was more like an old retired man, ready to be a spoiled family dog. I was home schooled at the time and spent all my time with him, though we've had issues in the past I do love him dearly. Recently my father got tested for allergies he'd been having and it shows he's allergic to him. I'm devastated to give him up, though somewhat relieved since I know I've not been the best owner since I've recently enrolled in college and no longer be a present homebody with the energy to truly care for him.
He loves walks and toys. Honestly all I want for Christmas is for him to find a healthy and happy home. He's 10 years old, smelly and farts like an old man but he plays like a puppy and acts like one too.
