Meet Sammi!
Sammi is a young shepherd mix who spent 6 months at a southern CA shelter with no adoption interest. Sammi was a rockstar at the shelter and was regularly used to test the temperament of other dogs entering the shelter. We knew Sammi would make a wonderful family dog and planned to get her up to Oregon. Once Sammi was safe and in a foster home down in CA, awaiting transport to OR she began having seizures. After spending a few days at an emergency clinic with round the clock care and numerous diagnostics done, no root cause of her sudden seizure onset was determined. Fortunately her seizures were under control with medication and she was healthy and could travel to Oregon. Since arriving in Oregon, Sammi has settled in wonderfully. Sammi enjoys training and has started working with a trainer on her basic obedience. Sammi is crate trained, house trained and walks well on leash. Sammi has been in a foster home for multiple months and while she loves meeting new dogs and going on adventures she is a dog that struggles a bit with new trasitions. Thats means a new family would would need to be willing to go slow and have multiple meetups with her, before she would be comfortable integrating into a new home. Sammi's ideal home would be with another playful dog or two, would not have children and a family willing to go slow with her as she adjusts to her new surroundings and people. It is unknown how Sammi is with cats but she can be cat tested for serious adopters. The medication Sammi takes seems to be the right dosage to prevent seizures and she has adjusted well. She will require taking medication long term and adopters should be prepared to work with their veterinarian on management of this. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Instagram (@nwdogproject) for updates! If you would like to be considered as Sammi's forever home, be sure to submit an adoption application on our website!
