About Samantha

Samantha’s story began on the streets of Tijuana, where her pregnant mother was found struggling. Thanks to a Good Samaritan, Samantha’s mom was able to raise her puppies safely, but now Samantha is still searching for her forever home at just two years old. She’s an Alaskan Malamute and Shepherd mix, standing at a healthy 38 pounds and already spayed and vaccinated. Although a bit shy at first, Samantha warms up with time, revealing a sweet and gentle personality. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves being around children. Currently in a foster home with limited space, Samantha longs to run and play outdoors, a basic joy she's yet to fully experience. She needs a loving family ready to offer her the space, patience, and love she deserves. Samantha’s journey to a permanent home can happen, even from her foster location in Tijuana; transportation can be arranged to Los Angeles County. Could you be the one to give Samantha her first real home? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
