About Samantha

Meet Samantha! Samantha is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu who weighs 17 pounds. This sweet girl is learning to trust people and needs patient adopters ready to let her move at her own pace. Though she has had one of her eyes removed, she continues to enjoy life and navigate her surroundings with resilience. Samantha finds comfort in the company of other dogs, so she requires a friendly, confident canine companion in her new home. This support will help her feel secure and encourage her to come out of her shell. She is still working on her leash skills, which means a securely fenced yard is essential for her outdoor time while she builds confidence. Samantha can be sensitive to handling, but she is making progress and becoming more comfortable with time and patience. Our behavior team is eager to discuss her specific needs and the positive strides she has made with potential adopters. Samantha seeks a loving, understanding family willing to provide her with consistency and rewarding experiences to help her trust and thrive in her new environment. An in-person meet and greet at our shelter is part of the adoption process to ensure a good fit for Samantha, her potential adopters, and any resident dogs. With the right family, a confident canine friend, and a bit of time, Samantha could truly blossom into a wonderful companion. Your new best friend is just one click away.
