Officials said he’s only recently become available for adoption because of his forever owner’s court animal abuse court case. After nearly a year in a kennel, the 4-year-old dog is ready for his forever home.

“We’ve tried all we can to highlight Smokey, posting about him on social media and sharing his story on the news. But he keeps getting ignored,” shelter officials said.

As the shelter works to manage an influx of animals from a different animal abuse case, adoption fees for all animals are only $10.
