My story

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

Name: Sammy
Breed: Boston Terrier
Gender: Male
Age: 1
Description: Fun, ball playing, happy tall boy

Issues: Needs wood or block wall fencing as he climbs chain link. Needs to be only dog.


Personality: Get that ball Sammy!! Sammy is a silly boy who is so happy to play ball with anyone who wants to toss it to him. We were asked by Riverside Shelter to take Sammy because he had come from a very un-pleasant past. Sammy had an old eye injury that had never been treated, leaving a gapping socket where his eye had once been. He was dumped from a terrible man's car trunk and lucky for him, a nice woman saw this and brought Sammy to the Riverside shelter.

We got Sammy neutered and the eye nicely closed. He is now a happy boy with a permanent wink and is ready to love and play. Sammy will do best as an only dog and needs an active family who wants to include him in their daily lives. Sammy is working hard on learning to use the doggy door and is successful about 95% of the time. Good boy Sammy!!

He is eager to please and just wants to be a part of an active lifestyle. While Sammy was kenneled with three dogs at the shelter, we have found that as Sammy gets comfortable and secure in his surroundings, he wants to be the boss of his home, his ball and his territory, so we feel Sammy needs placement with no other dogs to compete with. We think Sammy is about 18 months old. He is tall, with beautiful markings. He weighs about 25 pounds and is very lean.
