Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Samsy’s Profile:
Hello, my name is Samsy and I am estimated to be a 5 year old Mixed Breed. I lived the first several years of my life as a street dog in Thailand until I became an honorary member of the Soi Dog Foundation. After being vetted by a loving team of caregivers, I made my way to Canada in early May to start a new chapter of my life. With the help of Paws With A Cause Rescue and my super foster mom, I have been learning and loving the pet dog ways!
Here are some things my growing circle of friends say about me:
Temperament:
●Samsy is a bright and happy girl. She is energetic and playful, but she is also happy to just hang out with her people and curl up beside them.
●Samsy is a very people-oriented dog and requires a moderate level of exercise. She is a great companion for hiking or outdoorsy activities.
●She loves walks and does well in all sorts of environments. She has no issues with traffic, other people, skateboards, bikes, etc. She likes kids and tolerates most other dogs passing by (more info below).
●Samsy is learning quickly to let her guard down around other dogs. With proper introductions, she has done well in group walks and other controlled situations of dog socialization. She is confident in herself and will let the other dog know with a low growl when she does not appreciate their forwardness. She mostly just does her own thing in areas where there are other dogs.
●She is highly food-motivated.
●She greets everyone with a big smile and is always excited to welcome guests to her home. She can be a little bit vocal initially when her people leave, but settles after a short time. She is not at all destructive in the home, she is left free and has excellent bathroom habits.
●She is a lovely girl. She is well-balanced, sweet, affectionate, quirky and fun.
Owner Suitability:
●Samsy would be well-suited to a home with dog-savvy children. She likes attention and tolerates kids well, it is just noteworthy that she likes to jump up and her interest in food may mean snacks are occasionally snatched from littler ones. Any kids in the home would need to know to respect her space with food or high-value items.
●Samsy is a clever girl. She is acutely aware of any situation in which she can get free to explore her surroundings and, as such, requires a securely fenced area for free-time. Walks should be on-leash only as her recall is still improving.
●She will always have a strong, natural instinct to explore what’s going on in the world around her. She loves to try and see what her neighbours are up to. Samsy would do well in an urban or suburban environment where there are people to watch, activities to monitor, and squirrels to keep in check!
●At this time, she would be best suited to a home without other dogs.
●She is currently living with a cat and they are coexisting well. She does occasionally show interest in the cat, but it is more out of curiosity. If the cat is familiar and comfortable around dogs, Samsy would certainly be able to cohabitate.
●Samsy has had a short history of skin and ear issues. We are in the process of determining the cause and administering treatment. She may very likely have some allergies that will need to be addressed and managed going forward.
●She will thrive in a home that offers multiple walks and various other stimulating activities throughout each day. She enjoys opportunities to engage with people and work for foo
