My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sam, a handsome hound mix with a heart of gold! Sam may be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, his playful and affectionate side really shines. He is easy to walk and gets along well with most other dogs, especially when he's able to play and socialize. Sam has been having a blast making new dog friends at the shelter, and we think he'd thrive in a home with a confident, friendly dog to show him the ropes and help him come out of his shell. If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion who's ready to form a lifelong bond, come meet Sam!
