My story

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

Meet Sammy, a spunky, resilient, and affectionate little dog looking for an experienced, patient forever home.
Sammy’s journey hasn’t been easy—he’s physically delicate due to chronic back issues caused by past injuries, and he can be easily startled in certain situations. However, with his medications, Sammy is full of energy, life, and love. At just 12 pounds, Sammy may be small, but his personality is big. He adores long walks, zoomies around the house, and playing with toys. He’s housebroken and will let you know when he needs to go out. Inside the home, Sammy gets along well with other dogs and respects their boundaries, but he is reactive to larger dogs while on walks. For this reason, he will need a dog-savvy adopter who understands his needs and can manage these encounters with care. Sammy is also learning to feel comfortable in a crate, viewing it as his safe space. While he’s not quite fully relaxing inside, he happily goes in to retrieve a treat or eat a meal in his favorite bed before heading back out. New experiences, like meeting unfamiliar people, may make him feel uncertain, but with reassurance and time, Sammy thrives. Above all, Sammy is a cuddle bug who loves nothing more than being close to his person. He’ll light up at the sound of “Good boy!” and will eagerly seek your affection. Sammy would do best with someone who works from home or is home much of the time, as he loves companionship and does not like being left alone for long periods.Sammy may have had a tough start, but his heart is full of love and his spirit is strong. If you’re an experienced adopter who can offer Sammy the understanding, care, and attention he deserves, he will reward you with endless snuggles and joy.

Please Note:
*Must have a FENCED-IN yard!*

More about this rescue

Somerset Cottage Poodle Rescue, established in 2013, is an all volunteer 501c(3) dog rescue funded by your donations. We rescue companion and senior dogs, at risk for euthanasia, from overcrowded shelters and provide them with the medical attention they need. We also redone dogs for owners who can no longer care for them. We do not have a facility so all of our dogs live in foster homes through out the Northern Virginia area until their adoption day. We are proud that we find them perfectly matched forever homes and families. We rescue and find permanent homes for approximately 250 dogs a year.
