Smokey was so cute and playful. He greeted me with a wagging tail at the kennel door and leashed easily. As soon as he met me he wanted to jump up for a nice long hug, like he had been waiting for affection all day. He pulled on the leash, but nothing that can?t be fixed. He took treats gently and did exceptionally well meeting other dogs. He really enjoyed playing with a squeaky tennis ball! He encountered one dog that was a little unsure of other dogs and gave Smokey a little snip, and like a good boy Smokey retreated back away from the other dog. When returning Smokey to his kennel, another dog got loose and ran up on Smokey and Smokey greeted the dog with a wagging tail. He?s also a gorgeous boy and pictures don?t dyo him justice - his coat is a beautiful dark grey and his eyes are piercing. This is the kind of dog that everyone comments on his beauty!

The finder had nothing bad to say. She said he is very handsome.

See videos in comments of Smokey playing with a ball! He?s so cute!

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
Smokey greets me at kennel door with a wiggly body, once leashed dogs tries to bolt out of kennel walking forwadly out of
the row. I begin to toss peices of chicken and seem to help slow him down. Possibly may be potty trained has been keeping kennel clean. Placed into the chcken coop due to the previous excessive pulling . Once back in kennel dog is relaxed and laying down in kennel. Treat motivated and loves the chicken.
Very strong and forward on the leash . I have been having a hard time to get him distracted whiel walking him. He does show intertreest in the treats but I cannot toss them fast enough due to him pulling so much. Placing on Adopt eval to monitor. In kennel dog is also a little vocal and jumpy on kennel.

🚑𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: Scars on AD. Very friendly. Likes to swing his paw around at you in a playful way.

🚨Notes from BARC: Medical (Aged and heartworms) Behavior (Tries to bolt out of kennel, very forward on leash. Excessively pulling on leash. )
