Adoption Pending!! Smooter is a super affectionate senior Dober-boy, 5+ year old who LOVES people and wants to be by your side 24/7. Best part about Smooter is he has a sponsor willing to pay his adoption fee for one lucky adopter!!!! This sweet boy was picked up as a stray and unclaimed by his owners. We have learned Smooter is terrified of fireworks and gunshot sounds, and will run aimlessly to try to hide and get away. Could this be how he was lost from his people and never found them again? Possibly. Because of his extreme fear of these rare/random moments of loud sounds, he will need a fenced in area in his new home. Smooter does have excellent recall all other times. Smooter may have been crated or kept in a small confinement in his previous home due to being hunched slightly in his back but this does not give him issues and x-rays revealed no injuries or abnormalities. Smooter would do best in a home with little to no steps. He can do 2 steps no problem. Smooter has met the chickens on the farm and decided he really enjoyed their chicken food more then the chickens themselves. Smooter is the dog who would adore you every day, love you like no other dogs would, and follow you to the ends of the world and back. He looks at people with such adoration and love. Smooter is reliably house broke and is quite as a church mouse. He loves napping on his soft bed and is a very easy housemate! Whom ever adopts this boy must be willing to share ever waking moment enjoying his presence and love. He truly is the sweetest and kindest dog ever. Please apply is interested.
