Annette, I am sorry you and Smokey had to part. You can see he had a big personality and I understand how empty your home and heart feel. It hasn’t been very long for you and I hope, with time, you find smiles before tears. Was Smokey your only pet, or do you have others for company now?

My autistic son has a chiweenie and he is a sweetheart but he is my sons support animal. I have been looking for another furbaby for myself but the adoption fees are way too much for me. I miss smokey so bad!! I have been told that getting another furbaby will help heal my heart so im hoping. Smokey was the first animal ever that stole my heart and showed me the love i would have never known if not for smokey. He was amazing

Annette, here are some ideas I hope help you. Go to the “Find Services” tab at the top of our page and there is a drop-down menu which lists animal resources, including rescues and shelters. Enter your zip code to find those in your area. They may have ways to help you adopt. Almost every breed has a “Rescue” organization and may also be able to help you. Spring brings puppies and kittens and shelters may give you a break for adopting a more mature pet. Can you post a notice in your area that you are looking to adopt? Let’s see if others in our community have ideas to help you. Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck, Annette, I think a perfect pal will turn up. Toni
