Weight: 18lbs Meet Sammy. Sammy is a ~2 year old Chihuahua mix who is searching for a calm, patient, and experienced home where she can truly feel safe. New people can be overwhelming for her, and she does best when introductions are slow, predictable, and on her terms. As she’s grown more confident, Sammy has shown us that clear boundaries and gentle handling are very important to her. Once she knows you and feels secure, Sammy can be incredibly sweet, loyal, and loving. She’s the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and thrives with consistency. Sammy will need behavioral support, ongoing training, and multiple meet-and-greets to ensure a successful match, as well as an adopter who is committed to using positive reinforcement and giving her the time she needs to build trust. If you’re someone who enjoys helping a dog grow and blossom and are open to putting in the work, Sammy could be a truly rewarding companion. To learn more about Sammy and what she’ll need in her new home, please call our adoptions desk—we’d love to help see if she’s the right fit for you. We're open Tues-Sun 11am-5pm.
