Smudge is the kind of puppy who makes friends wherever he goes. Sweet, social, and always happy to see you, this lovable boy is ready to wiggle his way right into your heart. He loves attention, enjoys exploring the world around him, and is always up for an adventure, whether that's investigating a new smell in the yard or trotting proudly beside you on a walk. While he's still just a puppy, one thing is already clear: Smudge is going to be a big boy! His future family should be prepared for his eventual size and be ready to help him grow into the best version of himself through training, socialization, and plenty of love.
If you're looking for a loyal sidekick, a cuddle buddy, and a gentle giant in the making, Smudge can't wait to meet you!
