Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sammy is a 5 1/2 year old Maltipoo who weighs 11 lbs. He has been failed multiple times in his short life and we are looking for an amazing home where he will finally remain forever.
He is very loving and sweet but suffers from anxiety. If he’s anxious or overstimulated he will pant and pace. He is not destructive. He was just started on Prozac to help alleviate his symptoms.
Sammy needs a very structured and calm home where there is a routine. He needs an adopter who is very nurturing and compassionate. Most importantly, he needs to feel loved and accepted. He definitely thrives most under these conditions. He is dog friendly and we believe he would do well with felines. He would do well with children of all ages but since we are looking for a calmer atmosphere we will not place him with children under the age of 12.
He’s neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations.
We are going to be exceedingly fussy about where we place him.
If you feel you can give Sammy the best home send us an inquiry. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PHONE CALL INQUIRIES.
Sammy is being fostered in Wesley Chapel, FL. Our travel time must not exceed 1 hour for home checks/adoptions.
