Smitty

I'm needing to rehome our golden doodles. I'm going through a divorce and I am no longer able to care for the dogs. Smitty is a neutered male and he loves to play fetch! He loves people and does very well with kids. He enjoys getting to relax with the people around him and fully believes that he is a lap dog. He has grown up with Luna (also available for adoption), so I would love to see them go to their next home together if possible. I will discuss individual placement. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
