About Smokie

Smokie is a handsome adolescent American Staffordshire Terrier with a huge heart and an even bigger love for affection. He thrives on human company and is happiest when hes soaking up attention from his favourite people. Whether its cuddles on the sofa or relaxing beside you after a walk, Smokie loves being part of the family. A food enthusiast through and through, Smokie is highly motivated by treats, making training both fun and rewarding. When hes not enjoying a tasty snack, youll often find him stretched out on a cosy bed, enjoying a well-earned snooze and embracing his comfort-loving side. Smokie is social with other dogs and enjoys canine company. He does have a rough-and-tumble play style, so any potential doggy housemate would need to be a suitable match who enjoys similar play and can comfortably keep up with his enthusiasm. With sensible introductions, he could potentially live with another dog. As a young and excitable boy, Smokie can sometimes jump up when meeting new people and may occasionally hump when overstimulated or excited. These are common behaviours that can be improved with continued positive reinforcement training and guidance. Smokie is eager to learn and would benefit from a home committed to helping him develop his polite greeting skills. Smokie could live with older teens who are comfortable around energetic dogs and can help support his ongoing training. If youre looking for a loving, affectionate companion who enjoys both adventures and lazy days on a comfy bed, Smokie could be the perfect addition to your home.

How to adopt from Dogs Trust (ROI)

Apply to adopt online for the dog you're interested in; Dogs Trust contacts you to arrange meeting the dog. Dublin dogs are at the Finglas rehoming centre; dogs elsewhere are in foster care and can't be visited at a centre.

Adoption fees

Our adoption fee is €275 for adult dogs and this fee helps us to cover the costs of caring for over 1,500 dogs every year. Our fee for adopting a puppy under 6 months is €325. This includes the €275 rehoming fee and a reduced €50 online Dog School fee. Our Dog School classes help puppies learn key life skills and teach owners the basic training skills they need to create a strong bond with their new dog. Every dog adopted from Dogs Trust is microchipped, vaccinated and vet checked. If your new dog is not already neutered at the time of adoption, you will go home with a voucher of €150 towards the cost of neutering a male or €200 towards the cost of spaying a female dog at a local veterinary practice. You will also receive a starter bag of food, a collar and lead. Once they're at home, you'll be able to access advice from the centre team if you need to.
