🌟 Meet the wonderful Sammy, your soon-to-be best friend! This sweet boy has a heart of gold and a personality that just shines bright! ✨ Sammy absolutely loves meeting new people—he’s a social butterfly in the canine world! When you pet him, he’ll reward you with the cutest little grumbles of joy; it’s like his version of a thank you! And let’s be honest, who could resist those sneaky puppy kisses? 💋 Now, here’s the thing—while Sammy is friendly and full of love, he can get a *teensy bit* excited and might jump up on new friends to say hello! So, he’ll need some calm introductions to feel comfortable. Also, he would do best in a home without small children, as he’s shown some discomfort with them in the past. Sammy comes already house and crate trained—he's got that part down! 🏠 However, he’s still learning the ropes of leash walking. He tends to pull with excitement as he explores all the amazing sights and smells around him. But don't worry! With his eagerness to please and a little bit of training, he's getting better every day! 🐾 This delightful pup is absolutely food motivated, which makes training a breeze! He loves to chew on toys, but watch out—no stuffy is safe around him! 😆 He’s still figuring out what he’s allowed to chomp on, but when given a substitute toy, he’s a pro at dropping anything he shouldn’t have. At the end of a busy day of play, all Sammy wants is to snuggle up with you on the couch, preferably right on your lap! 💖 He adores playing with puppies, though he’s been a bit of an introvert with adult dogs. He peacefully coexists with his older foster sister and has done great on parallel walks with other dogs. Keep in mind, slow introductions are key for him—with his past experiences, he deserves that extra care! 🐶 Currently, Sammy is undergoing heartworm treatment, but fear not! He’s available through our foster-to-adopt program, meaning you can take him home, and Hope Animal Rescue will cover his treatment until completion. 🩺 So, are you ready to meet the sweetest boy around?
