About Smokey
Smokey is a lovely 22 month old male German Shepherd who was surrendered to a council pound by his owner a few weeks ago. He had been adopted but unfortunately he did not like the family's cats, so they have made the hard decision to find him a new home after a short time.
Smokey has started to enjoy being inside the house with his foster family so his new home would be best to allow him inside when they are home.
Smokey has been socialised with lots of dogs and really enjoys his daily runs through the paddocks with them. Smokey loves water and regularly jumps in the cattle tough to cool down. But his most favourite thing to do is water play at rocky creek with his besties.
When Smokey first arrived at his current foster carers he was a little anxious however regular routine and being involved with his family has settled his mind. He has been taught to walk well on a lead.
Due to his age we don't recommend a home with young children.
Please note that potential adopters residing in Queensland or Victoria must be prepared to travel to Inverell to meet Smokey. In the unlikely event that he doesn't fit into your family, you would be responsible for helping us find him another suitable home.
If you think you can give him a new home please contact us by selecting "Enquire about Smokey".
Medical notes
Smokey is microchipped, vaccinated and desexed.

Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
