Description
Meet Smidge! Six pounds of puppy. One BIG personality. And a lifetime of laughs waiting for you! At just 5 months old, Smidge is a tiny adventurer with a huge heart. She’s smart, playful, affectionate, independent, and delightfully quirky—the kind of puppy who will keep you smiling every day. Smidge already knows SIT and STAY , and she’s learning COME . A whistle or hand clapping usually gets her attention! She understands SHHH for quiet, CALM when play gets too rowdy, and GENTLE for taking treats politely. She even understands several ASL signs , including SIT, STAY, CALM, SHHH, and THANK YOU. She’s a snuggler— especially in the morning —but affection is best enjoyed on Smidge’s terms. She also loves sitting at her favorite person’s feet… preferably on them. Smidge loves camping, hiking, playing chase, crinkly toys, and exploring . She’s happy playing with a pal or entertaining herself, and she’s handled high-altitude travel like a champ. She’s crate trained and loves her 8:30 p.m. bedtime routine. She’s still working on house training and does best with routine, supervision, and consistency. And yes, she has a hobby: rock collecting! Smidge proudly carries rocks to her bed and hides them for later. She doesn’t eat them, but her secret stash requires regular inspection! Smart, silly, loving, adventurous, and one-of-a-kind—Smidge is ready to find the forever family who will adore every bit of her.
