About Smokey
Meet Smokey, the beautiful 1-year-old Border Collie mix with an insatiable curiosity and zest for life. This energetic pup epitomizes the spirited nature of a Border Collie, always seeking out new things to explore and delightful scents to investigate. Smokey is still a young dog, brimming with potential and joy but hasn’t had much socialization yet. He can occasionally become overstimulated around other dogs, so it's crucial to introduce him to new friends at his own pace, ensuring every interaction ends on a happy note.
Smokey will thrive in an environment where he's given plenty of mental and physical stimulation—the key to a happy Border Collie. His ideal day includes a mix of outdoor adventures, training sessions, and games that challenge his intelligent and inquisitive mind. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for a hike, or learning new tricks, Smokey is always excited for activities that engage him. With the right introduction, Smokey is poised to become a loyal pal, offering boundless love and companionship to a patient and understanding family ready to meet his exercise and mental stimulation needs.

Adoption details
We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
