Story
Smokie – Gentle Soul, Perfect Cuddle Buddy 🩶 Meet Smokie, a handsome grey Poodle gentleman born on 02/22/2016, weighing 19 lbs of pure sweetness. This mellow boy may be considered a senior, but his heart and his energy are perfectly in tune with his person. Smokie is blind in his left eye and appears to have good sight in his right, but don’t let that fool you it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He navigates beautifully and takes his cues from the energy around him. Calm home? He’s calm. Relaxing evening? He’s your shadow in the favorite chair. And speaking of chairs… if you have one, you may need to scoot over. Smokie firmly believes in shared seating. 🥰 Why everyone loves Smokie: • Loves to cuddle and be close to his human • Calm, gentle demeanor that wins hearts instantly • Potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go out • Gets along well with other dogs — even playful puppies • Does great in a crate • Smart, sweet, soft, and incredibly lovable He isn’t very interested in toys (yet), but he enjoys watching his foster sister play. He seems perfectly content just being near his people. Medical Updates: • Currently finishing short-term meds for ear and eye infections • Being treated for tapeworm (first dose given; next dose in two weeks) • Monthly Simparica administered March 2 • Rabies booster scheduled for March 24 • Dental scheduled for April 1 Once he’s officially tapeworm-free, we suspect he’ll happily graduate to full-time bed cuddler status. Smokie is the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention he simply melts into your life and your lap. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a calm spirit and loving heart, Smokie may be your perfect match.
