My story

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

Sammy is the most gorgeous Australian shepherd mix. Just 3 years old, he loves to run around outside, but then will happily curl up on the couch for a nap when he’s done. Sammy loves to explore in the yard, play with other dogs, and toss around toys. He’s athletic, energetic, and a fast learner so he’d no doubt have a blast with agility or dog sports.

Sammy is completely house trained, loves his crate, and knows plenty of cues including sit, down, leave it, and wait. Sammy is well-loved, but has become more protective since the birth of the second baby in the home. He is very patient and gentle with the children, but is reactive and will bark at other dogs on walks. When he actually meets the other dogs, he likes them and will happily play with them.

Sammy’s family is distraught about finding a new home, but know that he deserves someone who has the time to work on his training and give this sweet boy the love and attention he needs.

Sammy needs a home with a fenced-in yard so he has somewhere safe to play and run. He’s being fostered in the St. Louis area.

Our adoption donation fee is $300.00. This includes the spay/neuter and the pup being current on vaccinations, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped.
