Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This handsome boy is Sammy. Sammy is a 12 pound Chihuahua and Rat Terrier mix. He is 5 years old. Sammy and Rico (listed separately) came to us after their owner passed away. A neighbor made sure they made it to a rescue where they would find good forever homes. They had always been well cared for and are wonderful little dogs.
Sammy is very observant and keeps track of everything and everybody in his home. He also likes to keep track of what goes on in the neighborhood by parking himself at a window from the back of a couch or chair. He is happy to let you know when something interesting is happening by signaling it with a few barks. Sammy is a great little companion for people and another dog. He is a very loyal friend. After a day of walks, playing and watching for squirrels he is ready to snuggle under the covers with you in bed.
It would be nice to keep Sammy and Rico together, but we don’t think it is necessary as long as they both have other dogs in their new homes. Obviously, Sammy does well with other dogs besides Rico. Sammy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and housetrained. He likes everyone and could fit into almost any home.
