My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you looking for a tiny companion to keep you company for movie night or just a buddy to lounge around the house? Meet Smithers! What Smithers lacks in size, he makes up for with his larger-than-life personality. He enjoys going for walks to sniff and explore and eating tasty snacks has got to be the best part of his day. Smithers is best suited for a home with older children, as he isn't shy about letting you know when he doesn't want to share his goodies or doesn't want to be picked up and cuddled. He should meet all children in the home before adoption to check if he is a good match for your household. Here at the shelter, Smithers enjoyed playing with other gentle and social pups and may like a doggy friend in his new home as well.

Ideal home for Smithers:
- children 12 years and older, children must meet, may benefit from adult-only home
- may like a little doggy friend

Smithers benefitted from time in a foster home. His foster reports that he rides well in the car, walks well on a harness, and gets along well with other dogs! He's a tiny couch potato who will sometimes get bursts of energy and want to play with his favorite people!
