Meet the delightful Sammy, a charming eight-year-old male Shih Tzu who captures hearts wherever he goes! At nearly 16 pounds of fluffy joy, he is a handsome boy with a personality that shines just as brightly as his adorable face! 🌟 Sammy's journey brought him to the rescue world after suffering a heartfelt loss; his beloved owner sadly passed away. But let me tell you, this sweet pup has shown resilience and a spirit that will flourish in the right loving home. Sammy is a true cuddle bug! He adores attention and thrives on snuggling next to his foster mom, soaking up warmth and comfort. 💖 He has a playful side, too, enjoying his adventures in the fenced backyard where he happily follows his furry foster sibling, making his own little mark on every spot! And when the sun is shining, you can count on him to strut his stuff on daily walks—if the weather permits, of course! 🌞 This sweet soul comes from a peaceful, adult-only environment, and it’s best for Sammy to continue living in a calm home where he can be the little prince he deserves to be. All he craves are gentle pets, loving words, and a cozy spot to rest beside his humans. 🛏️ Whether resting in bed with his foster family or enjoying a car ride, this charming fellow just wants to feel close to those he loves. Sammy’s ideal home is one where he's the center of attention, snuggled up next to his family members who are home most of the day. He would thrive best in a tranquil, adults-only space where he can really bond with his humans. Though he gets along fabulously with other small dogs, Sammy would also be a wonderful solo companion! And while a fenced yard would be amazing, he’s perfectly content with his daily walks, making new memories with his humans! 🚶‍♂️ Here are some special requirements for Sammy’s new family: 1. A calm, adult-only home where he can be the star of the show! 🎉 2. A bed buddy—Sammy wants to curl up with his humans at night! 🥰 3. Another small dog for companionship is great, but he could also be a happy only dog. 4. Daily walks are a must, especially if there’s no fenced yard! 🌳 5. Must live within 75 miles of New Brighton, MN. 📍 6. Attendance at the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion in September would be a bonus! 🎊 Sammy comes complete with being neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on preventative care for heartworm and fleas/ticks! His adoption fee totals $348.88, which is a small price for the love and joy he brings! So, if you’re ready to open your heart and home to this fabulous furball, *apply through the Buddy App*! Don't wait—Sammy is eager to find a loving family who will give him the snuggles and companionship he deserves!
