About Sammy
Sammy is a black, medium-sized adult female Chow Chow mix with a gentle soul and a nervous edge. She’s incredibly sweet but has always been more comfortable in the company of her bonded friend, Rosie, than with people. Her early life left her anxious and deeply shy around humans—she arrived uninterested in connection, more likely to cower in corners than come forward. But progress is real: Sammy now greets the day with energetic spins and quietly soaks up affection when someone takes the time to brush her. Sammy has never shown even a hint of aggression. Instead, she is curious, loves to wander the yard, and will chase after wildlife like squirrels with fascination. Her fear runs deep, so she will need a home with a secure, fully fenced backyard—she's not remotely ready for the outside world on a leash or neighborhood strolls. Sammy isn’t suited to a house with cats, nor is she likely to warm up to busy, bustling lifestyles. For her, the ideal human will be patient, gentle, and realistic. She needs time and understanding to learn what safety feels like, so expect to move at her pace. If you want a companion who requires trust, routine, and a soft hand, Sammy’s ready to find her match. If you think you can give Sammy what she needs, meetings will be set up at her foster home rather than typical adoption events. Click apply to start the adoption process.
