My name is Smooches!

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A TRULY GOOD BOY? Look no further.

Meet our very own Smooches! 

Smooches is approximately 5 years old and the definition of a good boy. 

Smooches hasn't been in our care long but what we do know about him, we love and so will you.

Smooches knows “sit” and “down” like an absolute champ. He also is SO great about his crate and does not whine or bark at all, nor does he make it difficult for you to put him back in his crate for the night or when you’re stepping out. But he sure is excited when you return! 

So far, Smooches is a good boy on leash that just needs some redirection at times. He LOVES people and wants to greet people that pass by and can, at times, want to jump up to say hi to people passing by. I’ve quickly learned that I can step to the side and tell him to sit down to let people pass by but is so happy if people are interested in saying hi.

I have not seen Smooches interact with kids so far but he does love to jump up and give hugs that might be too much for smaller kids. I have a 20 pound dog that Smooches completely ignores and has ignored other dogs so far on the street. But it sounds like he did great with his meet n greets with other dogs in the ACC!

SMOOCHES LOVES LOVE. This guy wants to be pet, hugged, cuddled, he just wants to be next to you. But with all that being said, he does not seem to have separation anxiety. I can put him in his crate and not get a single complaint. He also loves bones and breakfast/dinner time, of course. I’ll also note that he’s so gentle taking treats/bones.

Smooches gets so excited and doesn’t know he’s not a little baby when he jumps up to say hi/give you a hug. But he does listen when you tell him to get down.

Smooches will do his business as soon as we’re on our walks and isn’t fussy about it. He had one accident when he first arrived but had just arrived from the ACC and was a little overwhelmed at first. Since then, zero accidents.

While I’m not sure what Smooches’s past is, I believe he was left at a police station and brought into the ACC. But he was clearly loved based on the way he behaves with me/ him seeming to know basic commands. He genuinely assumes that everyone loves him immediately and it makes me so happy to see that even if has been wronged by people, it hasn’t seemed to make him fearful at all. 

Smooches is currently on antibiotics for kennel cough and his nose is definitely a little crusty from his cold but both his cough and nose are already doing so much better.
