About Sammy

Meet Sammy, an affectionate German Shepherd who spent her early years as an outdoor farm dog in Amish country. Surrendered after her owner had children, she quickly adapted to indoor life and has become quite the housemate, picking up crate and house training with ease. This 7-year-old beauty, weighing 65 lbs, is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. Sammy loves to play fetch and has mastered multiple commands, including sit, shake, and down. She has no issues being alone and enjoys her cozy crate when left to nap. A fenced yard is a must for her forever home, and although she gets along well with male dogs, she needs to be the only female in the house. While she shares space with a cat, a kitty-free home could suit her better given her little obsession with him. Sammy enjoys car rides, walks calmly on a leash, and is friendly with strangers — making her an overall gem in public places. With regular grooming to manage her long, fluffy coat, Sammy’s unique ear appearance adds to her charm. Her adoption fee is $450. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
