About Sam

Sam is a sweet, adult Beagle with a gentle spirit and a soft spot for the little pleasures in life. He thrives on leisurely walks, napping beside someone he trusts, and soaking up all the affection he can get. He’s the definition of a classic good boy just looking for a cozy place and a loving person. Typical of his breed, Sam has a funny habit of 'singing' when he’s excited outside. Don’t be surprised if you catch him serenading the neighborhood during your strolls together. After some fresh air, he’s content to curl up right next to you for downtime. People are his favorite, and he truly enjoys being fussed over. He generally gets along with other dogs but can be selective, especially around food, so a home that can separate mealtimes would suit him best. Shelter life sometimes makes house training inconsistent, but Sam keeps his kennel tidy, and with regular outings, he’ll pick up house manners again fast. If you want a loyal, affectionate Beagle who’s equal parts walking buddy and cuddler—with a touch of Beagle charm—Sam is waiting to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
