Meet Sammie, the stunning brindle Boxer mix with the heart of a lion and the yearning for a family that’s true and lasting! 🐾❤️ Sammie has seen more change in his life than anyone should have to bear, but he's got an incredible spirit and a whole lot of love to offer. He adores being close to his humans, whether it's cozying up on the couch, sharing a warm bed at night (without any covers, please! 🌙), or cruising around town in a car—windows down, of course! 🚗💨 You see, Sammie has had a few different owners and has been returned to the shelter three times, not for any fault of his own. Recently, he found himself back in the caring arms of BENCHS after a lovely neighbor could no longer take care of him. Now, Sammie is on a quest for what he has never truly known: a stable, forever family that’s ready to commit to him for the long haul! 🏡✨ In a home, Sammie shines bright! He’s fully house trained and knows just how to signal when he needs to go out. He can be trusted to roam without a leash and always comes back, showing off his stellar return skills. When left alone, he's the picture of calm, often found napping away on his cozy pet bed or softly snuggled up in a bedroom. 💤❤️ And let’s not forget, he’s a champion snuggler who loves sharing a bed—just no blanket burritos for him! Sammie is a pleased pup when it’s time for dinner and is eager to learn. He can sit, shake, drop, and is working toward rolling over! 🐶✨ He finds joy in routines and is all about those delicious butt scratches! 🍖 Plus, he truly loves being around his people, bringing smiles wherever he goes. Now, let’s talk about how he feels around other furry pals! Sammie warms up to small, polite dogs, having a blast greeting them outdoors. As for cats, it’s a bit of a mystery—he hasn't lived with any, so his feline tendencies are still under wraps. He does have a curious streak when it comes to birds and rabbits, but don’t worry, he’s never caught one (yet)! 🐦🐇 While he can get a tad overenthusiastic and jump up when meeting newcomers, he just wants to share his joy, especially with kids, so calm and understanding families will be the best fit for our guy. Sammie flourishes with a structured routine and gentle leadership. He’s ready to join a home that appreciates patience, predictability, and calmness—qualities that will help him feel secure as he adjusts. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, endless affection, and a bond that will tug at your heartstrings! 💖 If you’re ready for a commitment that isn’t just for now, and you have a lifetime of love to share, Sammie's waiting to exhale, settle down, and truly belong. Don’t wait—if you’re ready to give this sweet boy his forever home, please apply through the Buddy App! 🐕✨
