Only YOU Can Prevent a Life Without Smokey!
Smokey the Bear once told the world, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires." But this Smokey has a different message: Only YOU can give him the forever home he deserves! This 8 week old Chow Chow from the Bear Litter is a rare gem-fluffy, fearless (except when he's figuring out new things), and already proving to be as loyal as they come. Whether he's zooming around the backyard, lounging like a king, or plotting his next genius move, Smokey is the kind of pup who will ignite a lifetime of love and companionship-without setting anything on fire.
Loyal Like a Chow, Lovable Like a Teddy Bear
Chow Chows have a legendary reputation-they're independent thinkers, steadfast guardians, and ride-or-die companions. Smokey is already showing his signature Chow devotion, with an extra side of snuggly sweetness. He won't throw himself at you for cuddles (he has his dignity, after all), but if you scoop him up, he'll melt into your arms like a toasted marshmallow. His intelligence is next-level-when playing chase with his foster brother, he realized he couldn't outrun him so he waits in ambush instead. Smokey isn't just smart; he's strategic.
House-Trained at 8 Weeks?! Believe It!
Smokey has a shocking superpower for an 8-week-old puppy-he's already housetrained! That's right-no accidents, no midnight puddles, no pee pads needed. He understands that business belongs outside, and with regular potty breaks, he's a housetraining prodigy. While most puppies are still figuring out the whole "outside vs. inside" concept, Smokey is already ahead of the game-which means less stress for you and more time for belly rubs.
A Pup Who Adapts to You
Smokey is the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure puppy. Want a playful buddy? He's got zoomies and games for days! Prefer a laid-back couch companion? He's just as happy lounging in the sun like the chillest bear in the woods. He's amazing with dogs of all ages (he knows when to play and when to respect boundaries) and has been great with kids (11 and up). He's also already pen-trained, crate-savvy, and just an overall perfect little dude.
The Perfect Home for This Little Bear? Yours.
Whether you're looking for an adventure buddy, a guardian with a heart of gold, or a laid-back best friend, Smokey is ready to be your forever bear. He'd love a home with another dog to show him the ropes, but he's so smart and adaptable that he'll thrive anywhere he's loved. With his unstoppable cuteness, his housetraining magic, and his fierce loyalty, Smokey isn't just a puppy-he's the best friend you didn't know you needed.
