This dog's fosterhome is located in: Westerville, Ohio
Samantha is a very playful and happy girl. Only 3.5 years old, she is still active and needs a fair amount of exercise, but she also loves to curl up in your lap or next to you and fall asleep. She's funny, expressive, vocal, and likes to give kisses. Sam is a little wary of other dogs at first, but once she meets them she is fine. She doesn't have much experience with cats, but she does have a strong prey drive and would probably chase them if she could. She hasn't been around children very much either, but seems to be okay with them. Sam is housetrained and has had some obedience training. She knows how to sit, stay, come, down, shake, and roll over. She does pull when walking on a leash, however. Sam weighs 16 pounds and she would love to be with an active person or family who has a well-fenced yard for her to run and play in.
Note: This dog is a "Guardian Assistance Placement" dog, meaning she is being cared for in a home that is not affiliated with Ratbone Rescues. The custodians have supplied vet records and signed an agreement giving Ratbone the right and responsibility to rehome the dog, but Ratbone does not have physical custody and cannot otherwise vouch for any of the information provided.
OUR ADOPTION FEE is $150 ($175 for puppies younger than 12 months; $200 for American Hairless Terriers).

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS DOG? The email address on this page is for website-related issues ONLY. For answers to specific questions about a particular dog, you MUST submit an Adoption Application! That is the only way to access the fosterparent for this particular dog, who is the only person who can answer specifics about this dog's personality or geographic location. (Our dogs are located in private fosterhomes around the state, and we do not provide those addresses on the Internet or to casual inquiries, and you cannot just "drop by" to see a dog without prearranging it with the fosterhome.) Because we are an all-volunteer organization and receive a very high volume of inquiries, we can only respond personally to people who have demonstrated a serious interest in adoption by filling out our application.
