Smiley von Stendal is a very handsome and goofy 12-month-old Shepherd mix. His pictures show how he got his name; in fact, in some, he looks like he is laughing! This boy registers medium on both the size and energy scale. With his zest for life and ever-wagging tail, Smiley would delight in accompanying you to Home Depot or Pet Smart, because making new friends is his favorite hobby. At home, he will follow you around to make sure you are doing your chores properly. Our carefree boy loves his walks in the outside world and sometimes pulls on the leash, a behavior easily correctable via the free group obedience session that comes with his adoption. Smiley portrays himself as “top dog” in canine playgroups and conveys his confidence to pushy pups early on; he gets along best with submissive dogs who accept his bravado. Come meet and adopt this fun boy and your 2019 is bound to overflow with happiness-plus!
