About Sammy

Sammy is an adorable mixed breed dog about to turn 8 this fall. He was surrendered by his owner who needed to move into assisted living. Sammy gets along well with both cats and dogs, making him a friendly companion. However, he does tend to bark at children walking by, so it's unsure how he would interact with them in a home setting. He’s already neutered and up to date on vaccinations, plus he is house trained. Sammy’s warm demeanor and medium-length bicolor coat give him a charming appearance. Considering adoption? Sammy's adoption fee is $400. Don’t wait to apply and see if he could be your new best friend!
