More about Smiley
😁🐾 Meet Smiley! 🐾😁
One look at that adorable underbite and you’ll understand exactly how he got his name.
Smiley’s story started outside a local gas station, where his finder spotted him living on his own. The moment she opened her car door, he hopped right in like he had been waiting for someone to give him a second chance. 💛
Now safe in foster care, Smiley is ready to find a forever family of his own!
Here’s what we know about this handsome guy:
🐶 Estimated to be 2 years old
⚖️ Around 40 pounds
💉 Up to date on vaccines
✂️ Neutered
🐕 Loves other dogs
🚫🐱 We suspect he’d do best in a home without cats
When he’s not showing off his award-winning smile, Smiley loves to:
🛋️ Snuggle with his people
🦴 Chew on a tough toy
🥛 Cash in an unlimited lifetime supply of Milk-Bones (his dream job)
Smiley has already shown us how ready he is to trust and love people. Now all he needs is a family to give him the happy ending he deserves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the adoption fee?
What does pre-adopt mean?
What if the pet isn’t a good fit at home?
We want every match to succeed. We offer a “Paws & Reflect” trial week before signing our adoption agreement and paying any final fees. If things don’t work out, we ask that you return the pet to us so we can find the right next step – no judgment.
Can I meet the pet before applying?
How long does the adoption process take?
All of our adoptable pets are in foster homes, so meeting them depends on scheduling with their foster family. We’ll work with you to set up a meet-and-greet as soon as possible. Some pets may be available for pre-adoption while they finish medical care. Depending on the specific pet, they might go home with you early or stay with their foster until everything is finalized. Either way, we’ll guide you through the process!
What does it mean for a dog to be heartworm positive?
It means the dog has tested positive for heartworms, a treatable condition caused by parasites spread through mosquito bites. It’s not contagious to people or other pets, and we’ll cover the cost of treatment through our veterinary partners. These dogs can still live full, happy lives – and they need loving homes just like any other pup!
What does it mean for a cat to be FIV positive?
Does the pet have to be spayed/neutered?
Yes – all pets adopted through our program must be spayed or neutered. The only exception is for senior pets who, after veterinary evaluation, are determined to be medically unfit for surgery due to age or health concerns. Spaying and neutering is an important part of responsible rescue and helps us prevent future pet overpopulation. It can also reduce chances of certain cancers and behavioral challenges for your pet!
