Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Sam is a sweet but timid terrier mix who has been patiently waiting for his forever family. At around 6 years old and approximately 30 lbs, Sam originally entered rescue as a tiny, mangy puppy with his siblings in 2017. After being adopted and then sadly returned due to his fears, Sam has spent most of his life in foster care, blossoming slowly but surely. Everything is new and sometimes scary to Sam until he learns it is safe, but with patience he becomes a calm and gentle companion. Sam gets along wonderfully with other dogs once he gets to know them, although he may be a bit grumpy with new canine friends in the first week while adjusting. Once settled, Sam enjoys playtime, especially fetch in the yard, and can be happy and playful with his dog buddies. He is best suited for a quiet home without children or teens, as his shy and skittish nature makes him uncomfortable around too much activity. Though Sam may never be a lap dog, he loves lying next to his people and enjoys gentle pets once he trusts you. Occasionally, he gets comfortable enough to play chase and paw at your hand, showing glimpses of his playful spirit. Sam is both house and crate trained, and walks fairly well on a leash. He truly adores his foster dad and has proven that, with a patient adopter, he will become a loyal companion. Fully vetted, neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on all vaccinations, Sam just needs an understanding home ready to give him the time he needs to thrive. If you're seeking a quiet, steady, and rewarding friendship, Sam could be your perfect match. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
