Introducing the wonderful Sammy! 🎉 Also affectionately known as Samuel, SamSam, Samwise, or the cheeky Little Fruit Bat Baby (because let's face it, moms are a little embarrassing sometimes). ✨ Sammy is a delightful pup who has experienced a tough start in life, but don’t let that deter you! He’s on a remarkable journey of transformation and self-discovery since arriving at his cozy foster home. ❤️ Before, Sammy was a little ball of nerves, lost in a big world that felt overwhelming. Can you imagine? He was starving, terrified, and just covered in those pesky bugs we all loathe. 😱 Thankfully, some kind souls rescued him and brought him to safety, but that place was so noisy and intimidating. Sammy felt invisible and was just waiting for someone to notice him. But now? Oh, now he’s a whole different dog! 🎈 With his foster mom’s love and care, Sammy has opened up and revealed his heart of gold. 💖 He’s loyal beyond measure and craves affection. Trust takes a bit of time with him—new people can make him bark like a tough guy—this is just Sammy’s way of showing he’s a little scared. 🌟 But once you break through that shell with patience and yummy treats (who doesn’t love a good snack? 🍖), he quickly warms up to you. Slow introductions are key, and with your kindness, Sammy will blossom! 🌷 While Sammy hasn’t had much exposure to little kids yet, loud noises can make him anxious. He might feel the urge to run and bark if they zoom by, so a quiet home without young kiddos would suit him best. He’s got some herding instinct in him, which might require a little training to navigate the noisy little ones. 💼 But don’t fret! He absolutely adores the doggie friends he meets and plays with! 🐕 Sammy thrives on companionship and can hold his own in doggy play dates, even when mingling with cranky pups. A dog park might be a little much for him, but with the right buddies at home, he shines! 🌈 And let's not forget about felines! Sammy is cautious with confident kitties who won’t back down, but he does need reminders to be gentle around the little ones. He might be too playful and forget his size at times, so maybe a home with just one or two cool cats—or none at all—would be the best fit for him! 🐈 Sammy is pretty much house-trained and working on using potty bells. He’s got a good sleeping routine too, snuggled up in his foster mom’s room without accidents. 🛏️ During the day, he can get a bit lonely in his kennel and will need some comfort and patience while he adjusts. A sturdy metal crate is essential to keep him safe and happy! 🦺 With that charming prance on the leash, Sammy is ready for fun adventures! 🚶‍♂️ He rides well in the car and loves his squeaky toys, though he could use a little guidance to remind him that shoes are not toys. He knows how to sit and shake, and with a bit of encouragement, he’ll excel at new tricks! 🎓 Sammy needs a home with a secure fenced yard (because this energetic boy needs room to roam!) and would thrive in a setting with other friendly dogs. 🏡His ideal family would include adults or older kids who are around often and can shower him with positive reinforcement and love. 💞 Are you ready to meet this love bug? Sammy can't wait to find his forever family that will cherish him as much as he’ll cherish them! Let’s make that happen—apply to adopt him through the Buddy App today! ❤️🐾
