About Summer

Meet Summer! Summer is a lovely brindle terrier mix around 2 years old, weighing about 22 pounds. Found as a stray alongside her friend Taffy, this sweet girl is still gaining her footing and learning to feel safe around people. Before arriving at Sam’s Place, dedicated volunteers at her previous shelter worked hard to build her confidence. We appreciate their efforts and are continuing this journey with gentle encouragement and the time she needs to settle in. Although Summer is still quite shy, she’s making strides every day. A patient family will be key for her, one that is willing to move at her pace and celebrate the small victories as she learns to trust. There may be a bond between Summer and Taffy. We’re still assessing their dynamics and will determine if they'd do best together in a home. Summer is spayed, and we eagerly await the chance to share more about her blossoming personality as she becomes more comfortable. Click apply to start the adoption process.
