7 Years Waiting for a Home of His Own!

Sam is our longest resident—7 years in foster care, his entire life! He came to us as a mangy 6-week-old puppy in July 2017, along with his siblings. Though he was adopted, he was sadly returned at 6 months old due to his timid nature. Now, at 7 years old and 30 lbs, this terrier mix is still waiting for the patient and loving family he deserves.

Why Sam Needs a Special Home:

🐾 Shy but Sweet – Sam is naturally timid and takes time to trust new people and environments. But once he feels safe, his playful, loving personality shines through.
🐾 Dog-Friendly – He does well with other dogs after a slow introduction. He may be a little snappy at first but quickly warms up and enjoys playing.
🐾 Best in a Calmer Home – While Sam currently lives in a foster home with a toddler, he would thrive best in a quiet, adult home or one with older, understanding children.
🐾 Gaining Confidence Every Day – Sam has come so far from the scared puppy he once was. He now enjoys playing chase, going for walks, and even seeking affection from his foster family!
🐾 House & Crate Trained – Sam is fully housetrained and crate trained.

Sam’s Perfect Match:

Sam needs a patient, understanding adopter who will give him the time and space he needs to fully adjust. He’s looking for a home where he can bond deeply with his people and continue to build confidence.

💙 Sam is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and heartworm-negative. 💙
