Sammy is one of Shelby's 6 puppies. The little family was rescued from BARC in Houston on Feb 13, 2024. Soon after leaving the shelter, they came down with distemper, which was no fun! Luckily they're living with a wonderful foster who took great care of them and nursed them through it, and everyone is now robust and healthy. These puppies are just as bouncy and playful as you'd expect a puppy to be, and don't display any negative effects of their earlier illness, which was a pretty mild case.
Sammy is an easy-going, chill little dude. He's happy to roll around in the grass or run after a ball or sit in your lap for a snuggle. Being still with his family, Sam is eager to break away and discover himself and all the things about him that make him special and unique, but in order to do that, he needs the companionship and guidance of a loving human!
These bright and affectionate puppies are growing up fast! Born in early January, they're old enough now to join the big world out there. They really need and deserve their own homes.
If you're interested in fostering or adopting this affectionate, happy little puppy, please complete an application right away! You can find them on our Facebook page or our website, lastminutedogrescue.com. He and the rest are available to be transported to many parts of the US or Canada.
