Story
MEET SAMMY:
Sammy is a sweet 2-year-old, 8lb Shih Tzu who was found as a stray in Detroit. He landed in overcrowded shelter where he was terrified by the noise and chaos. Sammy has sinced been transferred into a foster home and has been very sweet and is now looking for a loving home where he can feel safe and secure.
Sammy has a charming personality and is a little social butterfly. He loves to seek attention from his humans and will quickly become your loyal companion. He enjoys going for leash walks and rides well in the car, making him a great travel buddy. He has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners and gets along well with other respectful dogs - although he likes it best when he gets your undivided attention. He has co-existed in his foster home with cats without concern, but he would thrive best in a home with older, dog-savvy children or adults only. Due to his young age and playful demeanor, Sammy is looking for a family that can will still be active with him. He loves to be included in daily activities, so much so that his family must be aware of his surroundings especially when leaving the home as he feels compelled to follow with every step.
Sammy loves to sleep in bed with his people too, and makes a great cuddle buddy for these chilly fall nights. He does have a tendency to be vocal and alert you to all the possible dangers that may (or may not) be concerning, therefore he may not make the best dog for an apartment or a tightly-knit community. He is also not a good fit for a tether system as he would rather roam freely in a securely fenced yard or go for walks with his people.
Sammy is crate trained, although he is not a fan of being crated and may bark initially. His fur had to be shaved real short due to heavy matting, so he will need to wear a sweater while his coat fills in. He has shown a low tolerance for grooming and over-handling, so he will require a patient and experienced groomer to help him feel at ease during grooming sessions.
**Are you ready to give Sammy a safe and loving home?**
If you’re looking for a sweet and gentle companion who just needs a little time to blossom, Sammy might be the perfect match for you. With your love and patience, he will thrive and bring joy to your life!
