About Sam

Meet Sam, a delightful 2-year-old Doxie mix with a personality that's as big as his heart. Weighing in at 17 pounds, this charming little gentleman is eager to find a home where he can share his love for fun walks, engaging toys, and cozy couch cuddles. Sam has a playful side, enjoying fetch and tug-of-war, but he's also a professional cuddle bug. He gets along well with most dogs, though he prefers to take charge, so a more submissive playmate might suit him best. Currently, Sam is refining his potty routine and learning to communicate his needs. A patient family with a consistent schedule will be key to his continued progress. If you're seeking a playful companion who's also a snuggler, Sam could be your perfect match! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
