My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) Class XIII at WKCC (Western KY Correctional Complex). Seven dogs will train for approximately two months with inmate handlers. In that time, the dogs will be housetrained, crate trained, trained to walk on a loose leash, and able to perform various tricks. They will also be neutered, on flea and tick preventative, on heartworm preventative, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. The cost for adopting a SAFE dog is $150.00. Applications will be taken until May 24, 2013. Applications may be uploaded from SAFE Haven KY website at www.safehavenky.org. Applications then may be either mailed to SAFE Haven KY, P.O. Box 401, Princeton, KY 42445 or sent to safehavenky@gmail.com.

Sammie is a little doll who was born without his front right leg, but he does not ask for any sympathy or special treatment. No, Sir! He gets around just fine, thank you and will even wave his little stump at you. Sammie is handi-capable, no doubt about it. He has a great little personality and is not defined by what he doesn't have... it's just a leg, after all, and because he never had it, he just doesn't miss it. This is one little determined sweetheart! He handlers report that he is the fastest of all the SAFE dogs!
