Smores

My name is S'mores. I am about 1 year old and 50 lbs. My poundage doesn't translate to the way I look! You will be surprised, I am not that big! I am also all filled out and done growing. I am a gorgeous almost painted brindle. My breed mix probably includes a number of lineages - one probably is Black Mouth Cur, maybe some Ridgeback or Catahoula too. We aren't totally sure but I am a handsome man. I am a very sweet and gentle dog and yet a fun and playful goofball. I am such a lover of so many things. For one, kids - any age of kids and I have experience with young ones too! I am great with dogs. I actually would prefer that my next home have a dog buddy in it. It's not that I don't adore my humans but the other canine will give me a little confidence to continue to learn about how good life can be! If I see a trash truck on a walk, I might be a little concerned but we have found that my dog friends keep me moving! I am housebroken and crate-trained; although, I have basically aged out of the crate. I don't need it as I am well behaved in the house. I will need an understanding family that is willing to let me go at my own pace around new experiences. Positivity and love win me over all the time. I have a wonderful energy and want to please my humans and dog friends alike. A fenced in yard is required; I love to romp and run in my secured area and play fetch! My leash walking is good; when I see something that gives me pause - that's when my dog buddy jumps in to let me know the walk can proceed! I have been frequenting youth sports gatherings, riding in the car, going on hikes and I am really enjoying it all. I am located in NJ.
