MORE INFO COMING SOON! I'm entering the Freedom Tails program and plan to graduate on July 3, 2024! pawsgh.org/freedomtailsHi!!! I'm Smiley, and I have A LOT to smile about! I am a parvo survivor thanks to my friends at PAWS. I have so much love to give, I wasn't ready to stop fighting for my future! My friends say I don't have a mean bone in my body, but I didn't know bones could be mean, I just think they're tasty! I have had some training, too. Do you want to be my people? I love new friends and am ready to see what all life has in store for my future!! Let's go!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4/12/24Hello there, free world. My name is Smiley! I’m currently in the Big House taking a huge bite of crime. Yeah, I know that was a really corny joke but dry humor is my middle name. I think that might make me a Capricorn, I don’t know. Nevermind, I’m getting off topic again because I’m so busy! Anyways, I’m here in the Freedom Tails training program learning how to live more comfortably and obediently with humans. Humans can be strange creatures sometimes but that's another off topic subject that we’ll talk about later. My first night in prison was ruff, ruff ruff but my human companions in here quickly helped me settle in and get adjusted to my new environment. They laid a few ground rules and said it’ll help me to get adopted. The first thing I learned was that not everything on the floor is a toy I can play with. Next I learned that windows and doors aren’t something for me to spy on and bark or goals at the world through. There is so much more to tell you about my Freedom Tails prison experience, so stay tuned until next week when I’ll let you know how I made it through bathtime! Signing off with licks, smiles and nibbles until next time! Lick, Lick, Ruff!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4/19/24Hi guys! It’s your favorite little Blue nose prison mix! You’ll be pleased to know I made it through my first bath time here just fine. The service in this slop hole sucks. There were no bubbles for the bath, no big fluffy robes to relax in after and, you guessed it, no rubber duckys. :( There is a Ducky in here but she’s not yellow or made of rubber. She’s a poof ball with two different colored eyes. That’s a little weird and creepy if you ask me. I hear some people find that cute and adorable. If you find out who they are please let me know so I can block them! Other than that, the last few weeks have been pretty boring. I mean who likes being told what they can’t do all week? It’s not a bad thing to learn the rules and boundaries of living with my companions. I’m hoping it’ll find me a home. Signing off again with licks, smiles and nibbles! Until next time, LICK, LICK, RUFF! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7/9/24 Well hello again! The good vibes and smiles are back! You’d better act fast if you would like a shot at a future with me. Let's face it folks, I'm too cute and cuddly to last long on this site. I like long walks, hops, chasing balls, playing with other pups, snuggling up with a good friend and taking in a movie - no chick flicks. I prefer to let the chicks chase me and save my energy for chasing balls and playing with the other pups in the yard. I have to warn you though, I do not like cats. I tried to live with one for a week and let’s just say I wanted to play but it did not. Apparently cats don’t like to be chased? Weird creatures. I do however LOVE LOVE LOVE puppies! If you have a puppy or two, we’ll get along just fine. I also like boundaries, they help me feel safe and secure enough to let my guard down and relax. If you like anything mentioned above, I’m your perfect dog. RUFF RUFF Smiley --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7/10/24 I’m settling back in pretty well here although my trainer said I need to go on a diet. Apparently my brief stint in the free world has taken a toll on my figure. It has earned me a new nickname he’d like me to shed fast - “Fat Boy.” I've been a little tired and depressed because things didn’t work out with my previous adopters. They were swell folks. They treated me well and were as broken up as I was to see me go. I’m holding on to the belief, “everything happens for a reason.” That said, it stands to reason that I haven't found the family I’m meant to be with, YET! But I will, and we are going to have lots and lots of fun. Hopefully by now you’ll know I tend to overeat so you'll need to help me stay at a healthy weight. Hum, speaking of food…. Too bad I can't drown my depression in a few submarine sandwiches and iced lattes. You humans have it so good when it comes to emotional issues… or do you??? Don’t worry, I’m not too depressed as I have lots of old friends here to keep me company. But I’m hoping to find some forever friends soon. RUFF RUFF Smiley --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7/18/24 Hello again, I went to a meet and greet the other day. It was loads of fun to visit the outside world again. I’m hoping I’ll find my forever home soon. I’m a warm and very energetic dog who loves to run and play in the yard with the dogs. Speaking of playmates, I’ve made a new friend with another graduate from last class. His name is River. He’s a very cool and fun Rottie mix. We had a real blast this morning. I wouldn’t mind having a playmate like him for life. I get it though, one dog is a handful, namely me! But a boy can dream, can’t he? I’m only a handful until you set up the boundaries. As long as you and the boundaries stay consistent, I’ll feel safe enough to relax and be my bestest self. But don’t forget, I’m also excitable so you’ll need to either let me get it out or disengage to get me to adopt. Just tell me to go to my place and lay down and I'll know you're not in the mood to play! I’ll take a nap until you are. I’m the bestest boy with just a hint of guidance.
