My personality

My story

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

Meet Smudge !
This handsome little guy is Smudge, a 1 year old Corgi mix (heavy on the mix!) who is still figuring out the big, wide world. Smudge is on the shy and cautious side right now, shelter life can be overwhelming for a young pups but behind those soulful eyes is a heart ready to love once he feels safe. Smudge may need a bit of patience and gentle encouragement, but we know that with time, kindness, and a cozy home, he will blossom into the happy, goofy boy he's meant to be. He enjoys his toys and feels more confident when he has something familiar nearby. If you have a calm home, a soft spot for shy souls, and the patience to let Smudge come out of his shell at his own pace, he'll reward you with the sweetest love. Smudge is waiting for his forever family could it be you?

When you are ready to adopt a new friend, we’ll ask you to complete our friendly screening process, which ensures safe and successful adoptions!
•Fill out an Adoption Application.
•We’ll have a brief conversation with you to determine your needs and preferences, find out about your daily schedule, and talk about your previous experience with pets.
•If applicable, we’ll call your veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for.
•For renters, we’ll check with your landlord to ensure that dogs are permitted and that the dog that you’re adopting wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions.
•Lastly, we’ll visit your home to see the environment where the dog will live and answer your questions. This is a great opportunity for you to get valuable input on how to integrate your new pet into your home.


This process typically takes a week or less and then you are ready to take your pet home!
