My story

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

Hey, I'm Sam! I am a playful, energetic fella and think every person is my new best friend. My tail never stops wagging and I am happiest following you around the house or watching over my big sister. As much as I love to frolic and play, I can also snuggle up to you and cuddle just as hard. My foster mom often picks me up, carries me around, and moves me here and there -- I don't mind at all and am easily handled. I've lived with children and cats before, too!

My sister Sophie means the world to me and I simply cannot be without her, so if you fall in love with me you'll need to love her too -- we are a package deal.

There’s no online application.

Additional adoption info

Morris Animal Refuge has a holistic open adoptions policy that seeks to find the best home for every animal and the best animal for every home. No appointment is required to adopt with us; walk-ins are welcome. We will process your information at the time of adoption and in most cases your animal can go home with you on the same day. Adoptions are same-day, first-come-first-served. We cannot hold animals for pick-up at a later date.

When you arrive at the refuge, please bring a valid photo ID and cash or card to pay the adoption fee.

It is encouraged, but not required, that you bring any children, current dogs, or other members of your household to meet the dog you are interested in adopting.

If you are interested in adopting a cat, please do not bring any other pets with you. Because cats require slow introductions to new animals the shelter setting is not a good place for them to meet new potential furry family members.

All animals adopted from Morris Animal Refuge are:
– Spayed/Neutered
– Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations
– Treated for fleas and most intestinal parasites
– Microchipped
– Cared for by our loving staff until they find their forever homes!

More about this shelter
