My story

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

Smoochi Roo is a handsome, thoughtful 6.5-year-old Chow with a big heart and an even bigger sense of calm. He’s the kind of dog who takes life at a steady pace, soaking in the world around him and offering quiet companionship to the people he trusts. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who’s past the puppy chaos and ready to settle into a cozy routine, Smoochi Roo might be your perfect match.

This sweet boy has completed his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) training — a nationally recognized program through the American Kennel Club that highlights good manners, polite behavior, and strong communication skills. Thanks to his steady demeanor, Smoochi Roo does well with other dogs and can even be a great helper when it comes to socializing canine friends who need a calm, confident role model.

Smoochi Roo is potty trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to a home that appreciates structure and consistency. He would thrive best in an adult-only home or one with older teens, where his boundaries can be respected and his gentle nature can truly shine.

If you’re ready to open your heart to a loyal, well-mannered companion who’s full of quiet love and soulful charm, Smoochi Roo is waiting to meet you. 🐾💙
