This gentle girl knows how to make people laugh with her adorable tooth chomps when she gets excited. Since moving in with her foster mom, Sammie has gone from a nervous pup to a sweet, loving companion who’s ready to find her forever home.Sammie’s favorite pastimes include shopping trips to hardware and pet stores, where she eagerly awaits her favorite treat: pup cups at the drive-thru! She’s also a fan of snuggling, taking walks, car rides, and running zoomies in the yard. And guess what? She recently discovered a love for playing in water after a fun pool day, adding even more charm to her already sparkling personality.Sammie would love a home where someone is around frequently. She’s built up her confidence and can handle being left alone for a few hours, but she’d be sad if left alone all day. She does best with slow introductions to other dogs and has done great with calmer dogs after a proper intro. Sammie would love a cat-free home with kids who are at least 12 years of age.Sammie is eager to share her love and happiness with her new forever family.

Story
Meet Red, the adorable senior dog who is eagerly waiting for his forever home! At 9 years old, Red has a heart full of love and a playful spirit that belies his age. This sweet boy has been thriving in foster care and is ready to bring joy to a loving family. Here’s everything you need to know about Red:House Manners and Training:Red is a well-behaved house guest with impeccable manners. He has not had any accidents indoors and is trusted to roam freely while his foster parent is at work. Although a crate hasn’t been necessary, Red has shown curiosity about it, indicating he’d likely be fine if crated.Daily Routine:Red’s day starts with an energizing morning walk. He then spends the day at home until his foster parent returns from work. Evenings are his favorite time, as he loves playing in the backyard. Red is learning recall and working on staying calm when other dogs are near the fence.Interactions and Social Skills:Red gets along well with other dogs and has been practicing walks with the neighbor’s dog, showing great progress. Red gets excited in the car but does well when buckled in the backseat.Previous Experience with Dogs:Red has lived with dogs in the past and enjoyed their company. If you already have dogs at home, we recommend bringing them for a meet and greet at the shelter to ensure a good match.Home Requirements:Red needs a home without cats and where everyone is at least 18 years old. He can be a bit wary of strangers at first, so a household with adults who can understand his needs and help him feel safe is ideal. Training and Personality:This lively pup has been focusing on recall and managing his excitement, especially when running freely in the backyard. Red is affectionately nicknamed “wild man” because of his joyful, full-speed sprints in the yard, always with a big smile on his face. He loves toys and blankets, having once snuck into the spare bedroom to revel in a blanket pile he found.Why Adopt Red?It took some time, but Red has come out of his shell remarkably, displaying an excitement for life and a gentle, loving demeanor. His wonderful house manners and adaptable nature make him an excellent addition to the home.If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and well-mannered companion, Red is the dog for you. Come meet Red and see if he’s the perfect match for your family!Follow me on Instagram: @adopt.red
