My story

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

Sporting fur that resembles a tuxedo and a heart as big as his playful spirit – our Sammy is ready to bring an immense amount of love and pizazz to an ultra-lucky home! We have all been shocked he has been waiting for his happily ever after for so long given that Sammy does well home alone, is social with other dogs, LOVES snuggling with his humans and possesses stellar potty habits. Sammy’s foster shared with us that since his arrival he was brought “loyalty, gentleness and easy-going charm” into his home which we feel will flourish even more with whoever decides to make Sammy their forever canine companion.

Sammy is a soul that doesn’t let anything get him down. A prime example of Sammy’s resilience has been his continued high spirits and LOVE of running, even though our medical team discovered he may have kidney disease, and he came to us with a history of seizures. The Official Sammy Fan Club will attest that he currently exhibits no signs of either illness. We do, of course, want to ensure Sammy’s next humans are able and willing to monitor and tend to his health a little more than the average dog. In return for your dedication, we are certain that Sammy will share his out of this world essence with your heart and home in spades.

Sammy even has his own instagram and youtube pages! Like and share please.
