About Smokey D3762
Hey there! I’m Smokey! I’m a gorgeous natured, loving dog, and like a true Labrador, I’m only just growing out of the puppy stage now. I’m larger than your usual Lab, because of my mix - I weigh over 50kg - but my nature is very Lab. You’ve heard all the Lab stories, right? We think most things are edible! So don’t leave your “smalls” lying around, or they might become part of my diet. I’ve done it before he he!
My true nature is gentle, funny, playful, affectionate and lazy. But I’ve lost some confidence since I was attacked. I’m looking for a home where I can be the only pet and where everything is relaxed and predictable. We can have a daily walk together. I love the beach! And I hope that you’ll give me nice, slow introductions to other nice dogs we meet when we’re out. I’ve lost confidence with them, but in the past I’ve always loved them.
I’m very playful. Will you throw some toys for me? I’m a growler when I play - it’s just a play noise, I’m not really cross! But I love nothing better than being inside - it’s best if you’re there, of course :) I love it sooooo much, that truly, I can hang on for toilet all day if you have to go out - if you’ll only let me stay inside. If you’re at home, you’ll have to MAKE me go outside to the toilet. Especially if it’s hot. I do not like the heat. Give me air conditioning, please!!
I can sit, stay, wait for my food, give my paw. I’ll be great with visiting children if you can teach me not to jump up when they first arrive. SAFE will teach you how to do that.
There are two more things to know about me. Firstly, I can't be let off the lead as I won’t come back because I want to run off and have fun. But I still have lots of fun on the long lead and you can even put it down on the ground and I won’t realise and won’t run off. Because I’m so big, I wear a body harness with one of those loops on the back for a bit of extra control.
Secondly, I’m a bit sensitive with my diet, so there’s a bit of extra effort on your part needed here. I’m looking and feeling amazing at the moment, because we’ve found the right mix for me after lots of experimentation. I eat grain free Supercoat Adult biscuits, mixed with home made chicken or kangaroo with rice, raw egg and veges. And I often have raw sardines, too. This diet mix keeps the weight on me at the same time as keeping me satisfied and healthy.
A few hours flying is absolutely worth it for remotely located animals if it means we have the opportunity to be adopted. My airfare to Perth is $150 thanks to SAFE and a discount from QANTAS, and I can fly elsewhere in Australia too.
So, do you think that I might be the best boyo for you? If so, click on the link below and complete an application :) We’ll have fun, cuddles, and best of all, lots of lazing around together!
