My story

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

***DFW area only-No Exceptions***

Sam (affectionately called Sammy) is a 6 weeks (as of 10/27/22) old Chihuahua mix puppy. He was found stray and taken to the shelter at just 4 weeks of age. It’s dangerous for such young puppies to be in the shelter, so his foster mom brought him into the Legacy Humane fold! Sammy loves to be played with, enjoys belly rubs, and is very social. He loves crinkly toys and squeaky toys. He likes to snuggle with his foster mom in the evening on the couch. Puppies at this age will require patience and training to become the best pup they can be. Sammy is working on potty training and, given a potty schedule, he does very well for his young age. He does well with other dogs and cats. He responds well to corrections from dogs and cats and curtails his behavior accordingly. Due to his small size, young children are not recommended.
Sam can be pre-adopted at 6 weeks of age and will be available to go home 11/5/22.

Current weight 4 lbs

Projected weight 15-20 lbs

Will begin crate training this week

We are requesting a donation of $325 for the adoption which includes his neuter, three rounds of puppy vaccines, a rabies vaccine, microchip with registration, dewormer and a single dose of heartworm preventative. If you're interested in meeting or adopting him, please complete an application on our website and someone will reach out to you within 48 hours. https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/

Adopter will take puppy to an LHS approved vet to be neutered in January of 2023 per the spay/neuter agreement and in accordance to Chapter 828, Texas Health and Safety Code.

*Due to the high volume of applications and inquires for puppies as well as vetting needs, we will not be able to respond to or consider interest from those outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth Area.
