Story
Hi my name is Smokey.  I am a super sweet and very active 1 year old Rat Terrier mix who weighs 11 lbs.  I am so greatful to Critter Cavalry and happy to be in the care of my foster mom Dawn.  I have gone through a lot in my short life.  My original family adopted me as a puppy.  They did not have a fenced in yard and just let me run around wherever I wanted.  Well one day I did not get out of the way quick enough and got hit by a car.  The people just drove off.  Fortuately my family came to get me immediately.  I was so distraught as both of my back legs were broken.  My family spent a lot of money trying to get me well but could not afford physical therapy on top of everything else.  Soon my legs began to hurt and I had trouble walking.  A neighbor knew of Critter Cavalry and  that is how I got here.  I have had additional surgery and excelled in my physical therapy.  I am now ready to find my forever home.  I have a blast with the other 2 small dogs in my foster home.  They played a very important part in my recovery.  I want to keep my muscles strong and my hips working properly so I need a home with another small dog my age and size to be my exercise buddy.  No big dogs for me please.  I am scared of them and bark at them.  I am a great little guy who is housebroken to a doggie door and crate trained.  I love to go for walks and love to run around in our fenced in yard and play games in the house.  If you are an active family and already have one little active girl or guy then you are the family for me.  I have been neutered and am current on all my shots and microchipped.  To be considered for my forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (I am currently in Tennessee and can be transported to my forever home upon adoption.)February 17, 2025, 9:25 pm
