Meet Smooch!

Smooch is an 8-week-old sweetheart with a gentle, observant nature. He’s the kind of puppy who takes it all in—always watching, listening, and making sure he knows what’s going on around him. Because of that, he’s often the first to alert you when something new pops up. While he can be a little shy at first, his loving personality shines once he feels safe and supported.

Smooch does best with an emotional support friend—another friendly, cuddly dog in the home is a must for him. Having a confident canine companion helps him feel secure and encourages him to come out of his shell. With the right environment, he blossoms into a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being near his people and his doggy friend.

Smooch is looking for a family who understands that puppies need patience, structure, and lots of positive experiences. As a young giant-breed pup, he will benefit from consistent training and early socialization to help him grow into a confident, well-mannered adult.

If you’re looking for a gentle, thoughtful puppy who will thrive with love, guidance, and a built-in best friend, Smooch may be your perfect match
