About Sammy

Meet Sammy, an adorable five-year-old Maltese. He came to us through a breeder release program and is now savoring the joys of a loving foster home. Sammy is non-aggressive but a bit shy; he tends to follow his favorite humans from room to room. While he adores kids, keep an eye on those little ones since he can slip through open doors. He’s learning what it’s like to be part of a family, and though new experiences can sometimes overwhelm him, he bounces back with affection and curiosity. Sammy also loves other pets, making him a great addition to any household. He needs a kind-hearted adopter who can help him build confidence as he navigates this next chapter of his life. If you’re ready to give Sammy the love he deserves, don't hesitate to reach out. Your new best friend awaits!
