Meet Sam, a playful little heart with a big future. This friendly two-and-a-half-year-old Miniature Poodle, weighing 13 pounds, is ready for a loving home where he can thrive. He might be a bit shy at first, but within him lies a sweet, curious boy waiting for the right family to help him blossom. Sam loves to explore the outdoors, sniffing around for interesting discoveries. His playful side flourishes, especially with other dogs around, making him a delightful companion.

Sam will need someone who appreciates the process of building trust, celebrating every little milestone. In return, he will offer sweetness, curiosity, and joy.
