About Samantha

Samantha is a sweet soul who has faced hardship. After being neglected and left alone when her owner passed away, she spent much of her time outside, lacking socialization. At about 35 lbs and around 4 years old, she is gentle and a bit bashful with humans but shows a real friendliness towards other dogs. Having a canine companion could help Samantha feel more secure and confident in her new home. She has a sister, Princess, who is also available for adoption. They can be adopted together or separately, providing options for prospective adopters. If you're patient and ready to help her come out of her shell, Samantha could become a cherished member of your family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
