About Sammy

Sammy is a sweet and laid-back 9-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. He enjoys running around and playing with toys, especially when Emmy, his bonded partner, is nearby. You'll find Sammy curled up in your lap, eager for companionship. This duo is crate trained and walks well on leashes, making them great companions for short strolls. They get along well with other small dogs and have shown indifference to cats. Sammy has met children ages 8 to 12 and was friendly with them, making him suitable for family inclusion. While they need to be fed separately to prevent food disputes, both are doing well with potty training, though they require a bit of attention. Sammy is a caring and affectionate dog who loves people, despite being slightly on the shy side at first. His ideal home would be one with plenty of love and perhaps additional small animals to befriend. FOCCAS, located in Crossville, TN, is a foster-based non-profit rescue. The adoption fee covers vaccinations, spay/neuter, and other important vetting. Sammy and Emmy must be adopted together for a fee of $500. Ready to meet your new best friends? Apply now!
