About Sami

Click apply to start the adoption process. Sami is a shy girl who sometimes experiences moments of fear and deeply craves being close to her people for reassurance and attention. Due to a lack of early socialization, new situations and unfamiliar faces can be intimidating for her, but she's shown she can get along well with other dogs—especially those her own size or smaller. A calm and quiet environment, ideally with a single person or a gentle couple, will help Sami blossom and build confidence at her own pace. She isn't one for lots of excitement or adventure and prefers a routine life in a secure, fenced yard. While she doesn't require much outside stimulation, Sami’s loyal, gentle nature makes her an ideal companion for someone looking to provide a safe haven and lasting bond. Did you know? Sami’s birthday falls under Pisces—the sign known for being sensitive and deeply affectionate, which truly fits her personality. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
