Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at The Murray Fund.
The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process.
Hi my name is Sam! I'm originally from Kentucky but I'm loving my fresh start in Minnesota.
I enjoy hanging out in the house and will snuggle up on my mat with my pillow and keep the humans company, but I also like to get fresh air outside and run around the yard or just lay in the sun. We also play this game where the humans scatter treats and I go "find" them. I love going out to the park when there aren't other dogs around and getting to sniff and run.
It would be great to have a big yard with a privacy fence where I can really let loose and not have to worry about other dogs.
Overall, I don't mind being in my kennel, but I'm super well behaved and never have accidents or chew on anything so I mostly get to free roam and just go in at "bed time" while the people sleep too. My foster person says I'm the best girl and so smart.
LIKES:
People, puzzles, clicker training, earning treats, laying in the sunshine, walks outside, tuna, peanut butter, belly rubs (on my terms)
DISLIKES:
Dogs and other animals, thunderstorms, fireworks
A few words from my fosters:
PERSONALITY
Sam is an absolute gem! She is so sweet, a little sassy, and super smart. She loves people and is subtly affectionate, not a big snuggler/lap dog. She'll gently let you know when she's done with being pet. She tends to show herding breed behaviors like bumping to let you know she wants something and sometimes can be a little mouthy with her play, so she's looking for a forever home with older children and/or adults only.
DOG REACTIVITY
Through The Bond Between we completed a beginning reactive dog rehab course with Sam that taught us several strategies to help manage her anxiety -- which we'll look forward to sharing and showing her future family.
One of the biggest takeaways was that it's not about "fixing" her reactivity, rather it's about providing her a safe space, avoiding uncomfortable situations, and knowing how to support her through challenges that come up.
It's a commitment, but she is absolutely worth it and I know she is going to be the best companion for the right family!
My Furever Family
- One where she is the only fur member
- Only older, considerate children (I am a herder after all!)
- An adopter with dog experience and ideally one who enjoys training/puzzle activities
- No apartments, i.e. no hallway/stairwell encounters (Preferably fenced in yard or working toward it)
- Willing to continue working with her on dog reactivity (ongoing low-cost medication, transition training)
The goal would be to keep her on her meds to ease transition and support continued training -- which would be a benefit of her adoption!
She comes with 3 free one-on-one trainer sessions when adopted to set her and her forever family up for the best success!
Training Support
Are you thinking about putting in an application for me but you're seeing that I may need some help with training? Not to worry! My adoption comes with training support because The Bond Between wants to help me and my forever family. They know that some dogs need some extra support after adoption and they are all about setting me up for success. You can ask to speak to a trainer if you'd like more information about it. The trainer will tell you that I am worth it!

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.
If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

More about this rescue
The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds.

Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.
We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.
