Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chunky Munkey Guaranteed to Brighten Your Home
PACC is pleased to introduce Smokey: up for adoption, roughly 5 years old, neutered, male, Heinz 57 brindle - believed to be Am Staffie / Pittie boy with at least a few splashes of other stuff. We had the pleasure of working with Smokey at the Berkeley Animal Care shelter where he stood out as a guy who would fit nicely, and undramatically into an easy going home. Smokey's owner has repeatedly fallen on hard times and PACC is dedicated to supporting him in re-homing the dog he loves deeply but cannot adequately care for.
Smokey is highly house trained meaning he's first on the list to go out in the morning cause otherwise he'll hold it (longer than is good for him). Once out and about he's a slow, sniff, waddler - which will frustrate speed walkers who have places to be. Smokey's a no hurry, no pulling kinda guy. He will teach you how to be in the moment and smell the grass...or clover...or flowers...
Smokey's not much bothered by trail traffic - chill with passing dogs, horses, kids, strollers, bikes. You name it. He appears to enjoy the company of calm stable dogs - a few of which he's met and they definitely brightened his day. He's a dog we think would cue nicely off of a calm yet playful, confident canine who might show him the ropes. Additionally, "the Smokes" is a trail and hiking buddy extraordinaire. Like most dogs he appreciates the great outdoors but not to the point where it's the who's walking who conundrum. He's content to have you lead and will sit nicely on command, content to wait for whatever it is you want him to wait for. We can easily imagine him making any camping trip more fun and safe. Smokey's secret skill is catching treats out of the air. To date he hasn't missed any. The one we thought he DID miss can be found in a close up of one of the attached pics (for the curious among you).
Children recommended 10+ (or beyond the age of running around and being unpredictable - since we have not seen Smokey around wee ones). He is not kitty tested yet but given, to date, he has not tried to chase small animals on the trail, he may be fine - kitty owners should go in eyes wide open on the patience front.
If Smokey sounds like a good fit with your situation please email us at paccjoinus@gmail.com for an application.
