If you are looking for a playful, cuddly, sweet dog who loves to play with other dogs and people, Sammie might just be the dog for you!
Sammie was quite nervous when she arrived in Minnesota. Her first night she was very quiet and low energy, but still wanted to be pet and cuddled. She warmed up to us very quickly and really came out of her shell on her second night! She loves to play with toys - especially small squeaky ones but she likes to tear them up so she needs toys that are durable.
Sammie is a little bit nervous to go on walks still and will sit down and not want to move. I think she might be worried she’ll get left behind. With patience and gentle coaxing she eventually gets more and more comfortable. And while walking she has never pulled on the leash except for a couple of times when she sees little furry creatures. She responds well to correction on leash, though.
Sammie loves breakfast and dinner time and always chows down her meals. It might be a good idea to use a slow feeder bowl for her. We are still working on some manners like not jumping on people and not trying to get people food, but she is a super smart girl so I know she will learn the ropes of being a house pet soon.
Sammie doesn’t understand her size quite yet and thinks she’s a lap dog, so she might do best in a home without small children. We are hoping to have her meet my niece and nephew soon to see how she does with kids.
She is a wonderful dog, looking for a family to call her very own!
Adoption Fee: $425

If you’d like to arrange a private meeting or begin the adoption process, please fill out an adoption application by visiting https://www.healingheartsrescue.org/adopt **Note on breed and age determination: Breed and age are often determined on appearance, our own knowledge, veterinarian advice, and/or information from the sending shelters or previous owners. Most of our adoptable dogs were previously stray dogs with little history, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s breed mix, and unless there is a specific date of birth listed, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s age. Additionally, our assessments of a dog's interactions with other dogs, cats, or children are based on OUR experiences. Your experience may differ. ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: ~ Healing Hearts rescue will also provide dental procedures, bloodwork, surgeries, and/or any other additional vet work as needed while dogs are in our care. ~ Adoption fees are non-negotiable and fees are listed on the dog's profile ~ Adoption fees can be paid the following ways with the required sales tax added: WANT TO HELP SAVE MORE DOGS?
