Sweet Smiley Girl the Cuddly Faithful Friend

My story

Can you take a wild guess what our favorite thing about Sweet Smiley Girl is? Well if you guessed her smile, you are absolutely right. It's so good and infectious that it just made since to name her after something that represents her completely as a whole. When you think of a dog that is named "Smiley" you instinctively think that it is a dog who radiates with happiness and has the innate ability to make any day (good or bad) ten times better than the way it started. That's exactly what you can expect by having Smiley in your life. She is more than just smiles though -- she is your snuggly queen, your porch sitting side kick, and your bestie you can actually talk too. No, but seriously, you can have full on conversations with Smiley and it's probably one of the other things I love most about her. If you haven’t fallen in love yet, be sure to watch Smiley’s video below to get to know this perfect girl even better. Her video really shows her personality and all the potential she has to offer: https://youtu.be/n6cj8qeILqM?si=h1PkWZMEtoSxFXLh Doesn't her video bring the biggest smile upon your face and make you feel extremely happy? Yeah, us too! Her video is just a small glimpse to show you what your life would look like by adopting Smiley. It honestly doesn’t even do her justice because her drive for love and affection goes so much further than a 6 min video. Everything you see in her video are all of the things Smiley is capable of doing, all she needs in the beginning is a little time to settle in and get use to her new surroundings. Smiley thrives in homes that enjoy those simple moments in life and are not overly concerned with being the party house in the neighborhood. After her initial shyness has passed, Smiley is all about that love and snuggles. If you let her, she will lay in your lap and act like your own personal weighted blanket. Stay in that position long enough, and I can guarantee the two of you will find yourselves dozing off for an afternoon nap. She really is a total cuddle bug and actually appreciates when you wrap her up in a little blanket burrito getting her all tucked in for snuggles. She will definitely keep you warm and cozy during those cold winter nights. Smiley is the perfect mix of playful and calm. She is the best of both worlds. If you're someone that works from home, Smiley will be perfectly content settling on the floor next to your feet, keeping quiet, never getting into things she shouldn't be and will occasionally look up at you or rest her head on you leg nuzzling you for affection. Almost as if she knew you needed a 5 min breather from your computer. She is not high energy and can match the energy of the room. She will get the zoomies every once in a while when she gets super excited and will tell you all about how happy she is but for the most part, Smiley is a calm relaxed lady. She was made for porch sitting as a hobby too- she could sit next to you and watch the world pass by all day. She’s a perfect lady in the car and likes to sit upright in the backseat, quietly watching through the windows and patiently waiting for her destination. Her favorite places to go if you want a little adventure in your life, are those scenic nature trails where the two of you can take a casual stroll through the woods or a place where you can find a park bench off in the distance where y'all can have a picnic and people watch. Smiley is easy to walk on a leash and is very treat motivated. She loves pup cups and already knows how to sit, lay down, and knows the command "quiet" and "speak." Those little moments where we mention that she will talk about her happiness or how you can actually talk to you tie in here. Smiley knows how to speak on command and will talk up a storm with you. It's adorable and the moment you tell her "quiet" she instantly stops. She knows how to read a room and when her cute conversations are appropriate or not. Smiley is a gentle lady who has spent plenty of time around younger children, even as young as 4 years old, and does just with them. While she's good-natured and tolerant of the occasional squeal or quick movements from younger children, she tends to prefer the company of older kids. Older children, around 14 and up are more in tune with her boundaries, they understand when she needs space and can respect her need for a little calm time. Her preference for older children reflects her love for a calmer, more laidback lifestyle. Smiley would be great in a home with 1-2 kids ages 14 and up and if you have grandchildren or friends that have younger kids that come to visit on occasion, Smiley will be completely okay with that too because it is not an everyday thing. Smiley is great with other dogs and her calm nature quite literally turns into a bouncy bunny, hopping around the yard, bouncing alongside her dog friends with her ears flopping in the wind when she plays. Watching her play, will absolutely make you laugh. She loves to play chase and enjoys more of a rowdy play style. She can be vocal when she plays, almost as if she is trying to tell everyone that she is having a good time. Best thing about Smiley is if she's talking too much even during her playtime with other dogs, all you have to is give her that "quiet" command and listens. Smiley would be best placed in a home a happy go-lucky dog that enjoys occasional play time, won't be bothered by Smiley's vocalness, and a dog that enjoys those calmer more relaxing moments as well. Smiley would also do great as a solo dog too! She does not need the company of another dog to keep her entertained or to feel comfortable in a home. Smiley will also do best in a kitty free household too. We think Smiley is a pit bull mix of some sort, around 3 years old. She currently weighs in around at a snuggly 54 pounds. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Her perfect home would have people to love on her, toys for her to play with, a couch to snuggle on, and a home with a backyard. We are willing to test Smiley with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.
