Smokey was one of three dozen dogs left behind by a Doberman rescuer in upstate California when she passed away. We took on a number of those Dobermans, and though Smokey is not a Doberman, he is such a social and beautiful dog that we couldn't let him end up unadopted in an animal shelter. The rescuer was calling him a Belgian Shepherd, though we're not sure he is a purebred dog. He's about 3 years old as of August, 2023, very friendly, loves to run and would make a great jogging or hiking partner, and good with other dogs. We think anyone who loves the shepherds (Dutch, Belgian, German) will be drawn to this exceptional dog.

Additional adoption info
We ask that you bring the whole family (including the four legged) so we can best match you with the right dog. Once you have found your new companion we will have you fill out a one page adoption agreement. All dogs go home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, with a collar, and ID tag.
Our donations for dogs may vary depending on gender, age, breed and medical needs. Generally our male Dobermans are $250-300 with possible flexibility for seniors. Our female Dobermans are generally a $350 donation, due to the fact that it is more difficult for us to get spay appointments and therefore, we are paying more for those surgeries at other vet clinics. We have to ask more just to make ends meet for now. Little dogs and non-Dobermans are still generally a $200 donation.
