Story
Dog: Smelvin Age: 1 year Weight: 40 lbs Location: Yardley, PA Nicknames: Mr. Good Boy Good with other dogs?: Yes.Smelvin is submissive and has done well with every dog he has been introduced to. Good with cats? unknown, will not be adopted to a home with a cat Good with children? unknown, will not be adopted to a home with kids under 10 Activity Preference: Low maintenance overall but needs quality outside time., Will go with the flow, Champion couch potato IQ: Average Smelvin's favorite things: Other dogs, a cozy bed, peanut butter, face and belly rubs, his crate Smelvin is good at: meeting people, meeting dogs, staying in a crate, behaving in the house, going for car rides, making me feel safe, walking on a leash, playing Ideal home: another dog, someone at home most of the day Training Needs: Health issues: Meet Smelvin Smelvin is approximately 1yo. He is very shy which we suspect is because he was abused in his past. However, he is one of the sweetest dogs ever. Smelvin was rescued with terrible mange (hence the name), but he is now healthy. Smelvin is house trained and he loves his crate. He does well in his crate when left alone or sleeping at night. He also does well when sleeping in his bed on the floor next to his foster parents’ bed. He is currently being fostered with a young female Boston Terrier. They like to play together, but he also loves to just chill and sleep. He would be great with another dog(s) in the house, as it seems to give him more confidence. He is very submissive and gets along with every dog he meets. Smelvin also loves toys! He didn’t seem to know what toys were, but after being introduced to them, he loves them and will keep himself entertained for quite a while. Smelvin is a calm, quiet, easy boy. He loves his face and belly rubbed, but he would also be just as happy laying by your feet while you watch TV. He has such a good demeanor – we have poked and prodded him quite a bit – cleaned his ears and paws, given him a bath, picked him up and carried him, and taken him for long car rides. He does not bat an eye. Smelvin will need patience early on until he warms up to you and knows that he can trust you. But once he trusts you, we have no doubt he will love you forever. Smelvin is very low maintenance – he just likes to be around his people and know that he is safe. For how shy/scared he is at first, he could not be ANY sweeter. We think he is a very special boy.
