Hi everyone! Nice to meet y’all! I’m Sammy. My foster mom said I needed to write a bio about myself… really put myself out there and tell the world who I am! So here goes nothing. I was found at the beginning of December roaming a trail with a buddy. I was shy and scared at first. I didn’t know what was happening or where I was. I didn’t know how to trust because someone who took care of me before wasn’t very nice to me. Luckily, my foster mom knew I just needed some TLC and made sure to know I was going to be looked after. Since joining my foster mom’s pack- which includes a stepbrother and sister, and 2 feline companions, I’ve really come out of my shell and showed my foster mom what I’m capable of! I’m a neutered, 1 year old lab/hound mix. Weighing around 53lbs and still growing, I’m looking for my forever family and a place to call home! I know basic commands such as sit, shake, stay, and wait. Mom makes me sit and wait for my food. I’m not a fan and will roll my eyes at you, but I’ll do anything for food or treats! I sleep in an x- pen at night with a large comfy bed, which I absolutely love. I also know that my potties are done outside. Although- don’t you make me go outside in the rain. I am NOT a fan. I’m a true bone guy myself. I like the stuffies too, but my foster momma says I don’t know how not to eat the little pieces I chew off, so she doesn’t let me have them anymore. Since I’m a growing boy and have a lot of energy, I’d do best in a home with a large fenced in yard so I can run and play. It’s my favorite! I would also prefer older kids to play with. I get excited to play and sometimes don’t realize my size. Plus, I think the older kids can keep up with me better. They don’t call me Sammy Bammie for nothing! I’m still learning my leash etiquette, although I’m making excellent progress if I do say so myself. I don’t pull and I listen when told to stop. I’m just so excited that I sometimes can’t decide which side I want to stay on. Mom also took me to the dog park a few times and I’m a BIG fan! I’m learning this game called fetch and it’s AWESOME! I bet your thinking I sound PAW-FECT, but my foster momma says I do have a few topics that need some addressing… I have a bad habit of wanting to run away if I can sneak out. Not sure why I do this or where I am going, but I think if my new mom or dad worked with me some more, Ill understand that this will only land me in trouble and get me lost. Since I like to run, I also think having a running partner would be fun! We can work on our fitness goals together! I’ve known to dig a time or two, but I’m learning this is a BIG no-no. I may or may not think I’m a lap dog. Overall, I’m an awesome guy. I really want to find my forever Hooman. I know Ill make a great companion. Whether we are playing outside or cuddling on the couch, I promise there I will love you endlessly. I know my foster momma has fallen head over heels for me, so I’m confident whoever meets me will too.
