Meet Sammy, your future cuddle companion! This charming 3-year-old Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix weighs in at 19 pounds of sheer love and joy. 🐾 Sammy is an absolute lap dog who loves to settle right at your feet. Yes, folks, he’s that kind of sweetie who just craves to be close to his favorite person! With a gentle demeanor and tons of affectionate vibes, Sammy is patient and calm, making him fantastic company around children—he's done wonderfully with a 1-year-old, embodying the essence of a true gentle soul. 🥰 When it comes to expressing his love, Sammy opts for the adorable approach. He’ll give a little hop just to say, "Hey there, give me some love, please!" 🐶 He enjoys his outdoor explorations and as he settles in, his playful side begins to shine through, showcasing a curiosity that will keep you on your toes! Just a little heads up, though—his inquisitive nature means he likes to check the perimeter of the yard. A secure fence or outdoor supervision is definitely a must! Walking on a leash is a stroll in the park for Sammy; outdoors, he’s a champ! Indoors, though, he might find that leash a tad confusing and can “stall” at first. But don’t worry! With a bit of routine, he’ll gain the confidence to strut his stuff in no time. Currently, he wears a belly band due to some marking during this transition phase. This is quite common and something that will improve as he settles into your home. Sammy would make a perfect companion for an older adult or anyone wanting a calm and loyal friend. He’d also thrive in a home with another friendly dog who can bring out his playful side. If you’re searching for a steady, sweet little buddy who just wants to be by your side, Sammy could be your perfect match! 🌟 Now, here’s the scoop! Sammy is currently in a foster home, and we’re thrilled to help coordinate a meet & greet for those pre-approved adopters. So, don’t wait!
