About Sammy

Meet Sammy, a wonderful 15-year-old with the most affectionate nature and the softest eyes. This lovely senior lady arrived at Tails after her owner passed away, and now she’s searching for a gentle home where she can enjoy her golden years. Sammy is a lively yet calm companion who previously lived with four dogs and two cats, showing that she’s friendly and adaptable. She enjoys her routines and places a premium on cozy spots for napping, preferably on the floor next to you. High furniture can make her a bit anxious, so low beds or soft blankets are ideal. Sammy would thrive in a tranquil environment where someone is around often, showering her with love and treats. If your home is full of warmth and comfort, this charming lady is ready to fill it with love! To meet Sammy, please reach out to her foster home at info@tailshumanesociety.org. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
