Helloooooooo!! My name is Smoke. My foster mom likes to make up songs about me, and sometimes she calls me Smokey, Smokey Bones and Smokestack.

Life for me hasnt always been great.....

My last person kept me chained on a very short chain in the kitchen or crated, unless they wanted to use me for a stud dog. Then, they stopped feeding me. I dont really know dont know why they did that to me.
One day a lady calling herself a Guardian came and took me on a car ride. My owner told the Guardian that the neighbor had poisoned me, so they took me to the doctor. I was so happy to break free from those chains. Truth is, I just needed food, and love.

The next day, I met my foster mom. Although she loves me very much, she tells me that I cant stay with her forever. She promised me that she would love me until my new person finds me.   I have never really had the opportunity to be a puppy, so now.....I am making up for lost time.

I loved the kids (3yrs & 11 yrs) in my first foster home, but I Im going to need some time and patience so a home with older kids would be best. My biggest downfall is that I just get too excited and want to jump and get wild sometimes.

I need a patient person/family that can give me lots of exercise and is willing to set boundaries and continue to work on my manners. Im a big boy and I like to go full speed.   I am not a fan of smaller animals, like cats. They look like toys, but they dont like when I play with them. I like some other medium to large easy going dogs but would require a slow introduction.
