Smokey hangs out in the East Bay

A few days after picking up Smokey and posting him all over my facebook, I received a mesasge from one of our grant writers saying that she, her lovely wife, breathtaking pit bull and kitty-kat would like to meet Smokey.

Oooh my Smoke, so soon? Sometimes it happens this way. Sometimes the dance lasts months – sometimes it lasts days.

We met at my local dog park, me and the girls and the pit bull (not the cat). Everyone was on their best behavior, no problems, easy peasy, lemon squeezy. They picked up Smokey the next day and have had him for a few days. Now they’re on their 2 week trial.

Did you know that Muttville offers a 2 week trial period? This is where you take home a dog that you’re interested in for 2 weeks, and if at any point during that period you realize that the pup is not a match for your lifestyle or household, you can return him. We want to work together with you to find your perfect match. We know you’ve come to Muttville to find your companion, and we want to play matchmaker.

Often this trial period is the most important for other animals in the house. In Smokey’s case, we just want to make sure that mutt, pit bull and cat all get along.

So far so good! Here’s Smokey, who now goes by “Smoke$” (because he lives in Oakland) practicing his model pose. Check out how attractive his legs look in this one! I need a picture of me like that.
