Story
Smudge is a sweet and wonderful pup. He loves to perch nearby or snuggle up, and would be best suited to some one who works from home or is retired, as she just hates being home alone for long. She is potty pad trained and also goes outside well and loves walks but is an extremely sweet easy dog. Her sister passed away and post divorce she is just home alone far too much and I don’t want to let her go but really want her to have a home where she gets the love and attention she needs and deserves. Incredibly sweet and easygoing and well behaved gentle spry little older lady.
