About Smoky

Smoky, Rufus, Tyler, Spencer and Shiloh were rescued along with their gorgeous mum, Sally, as the family were living as strays. We think they had probably survived on the outskirts of a small village for a while, but eventually the dog warden was called to come and collect them, and take them to the local municipal shelter.

Smoky is a sweet, cheeky member of the litter who often follows closely behind Rufus. He loves coming to greet new visitors and being fussed over, but often looks to Rufus first to make sure it’s all okay to do so. The pair of them play nicely together, as do all the siblings and you can see Smoky gaining confidence in the company of other dogs. He enjoys the reassurance of having other dogs around him and loves nothing more than a good play with the other pups. When he’s settled around new people, he is super affectionate and loves being around humans. Being one of the slightly smaller pups of the litter, Smoky can often end up being tripped over and trampled on, but he always takes it in his stride and gets back up to join in again!

Being hound mix puppies, this litter will need active lifestyles with families who enjoy the outdoors and can offer a semi-rural surrounding area. Although confident when together, the pups will initially struggle once separated and we think they would do better outside the city. It doesn’t have to be in the middle of the countryside, but away from lots of noise and hustle and bustle would be best for them.

The pups are now around six months old and have had no training, so adopters need to be prepared to start from scratch. They had a rough start in life, and so they need to be treated with kindness, respect and patience as they adjust to a companion lifestyle. They have never lived in a home before, and it will be a huge change for each of them.

We feel that all the pups could be adopted into homes with other dogs. They are sociable, friendly, curious and very fun-loving, so having a four legged playmate would be great for them. They are still in a nibbly stage, typical of their age, and therefore might be better suited to children a little older (8+). The pups haven’t been tested with cats.

Smoky is currently based in Cyprus and has a clean bill of health. He is ready to travel once he finds his forever home.

Please note, any mention of breed is nothing more than an educated guess based on what we know about the dog, their appearance, behaviour, and common breeds in their country of origin. We can never guarantee breed specifics, nor can we confirm the exact age of our dogs, unless they were born in our care. Age estimations are made by our vets based on the development of the dog, their general health and energy, and assessing their teeth.
