About Samara

Samara is a 7-year-old black Lab mix with a huge personality and a loyal heart. She grew up in a loving home and is looking for a fresh start with someone who has the time and energy for her. Samara’s a blend of playful spirit and true affection—she’ll chase after balls, splash in her kiddie pool, and enjoy time outdoors, especially when her favorite people are part of the fun. She's at her best with active companionship and a healthy dose of attention. She’s settled after a day of activity, becoming a first-rate cuddler who soaks up affection and stretches out for evening belly rubs. Samara has done great riding in the car, at the groomer, and enjoyed exploring the park. She loves snacks and close company. Samara does well with adults and older children (8+) but is selective with other dogs, so she should be the only dog in the home. She needs a home able to provide outdoor time, mental challenge, and dependable love. If you're looking for an energetic, affectionate sidekick, Samara could be the one. Ready to fall in love?
