About Sammie

Sammie is in his foster home in Memphis, TN, and will be transported to NJ once he is adopted. Hey there, I'm Sammie! I'm quite the social butterfly, adoring every dog I meet. I really hope my future home has other pups to play with! In my foster home, snuggling, playing, and mealtime are my favorite activities. I’m a pro at cleaning my plate and love a good dinner! I’m curious about the resident kitty but have only been polite in our interactions. I know how to 'sit' and I enjoy a game of fetch. Just give me a backyard, and I'll run myself right into nap time! Everyone, furry and human, seems to think I'm great. I'm learning to master the leash and reducing my barking, and I’m getting into the crate when asked. If you have a couch and plenty of love to give, I'm ready to join your family! He's 4-5 years old and weighs 65 lbs. Sammie is fully vetted, including neuter, microchip, and all vaccinations, including rabies. His adoption fee of $600 includes transport to NJ. We partner with a licensed USDA transport company for his journey up north once he finds his forever home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
