About Sammy

Meet Sammy! Sammy is a handsome, approximately 1-year-old Aussiedoodle looking for a patient and understanding family to call his own. He weighs around 29 pounds, making him a well-sized companion. Sammy is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, ready to begin his next chapter. After spending over a month in foster care, Sammy has made remarkable strides. He's still shy, especially around new faces and unfamiliar situations, but progresses daily. He wasn't properly socialized as a puppy, so the world can feel daunting. Even when nervous, he remains gentle, choosing to work through his fear rather than react negatively. And when he feels safe, Sammy reveals his affectionate side. His perfect home would be calm and patient, where people understand that building confidence takes time. Sammy needs a family willing to let him adjust at his own pace, celebrate small victories, and help him see the world as a less scary place. If you have room in your heart for a shy dog who just needs belief to flourish, Sammy might be your perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
