Sammy is a 3-year-old gentleman with a heart as warm as his wagging tail. Friendly, affectionate, and always excited to meet new people, he quickly settles into calm, gentle interactions and leans in for pets. He takes treats nicely, enjoys scratches on his ears and chest, and loves being close to his humans.
This bright boy has plenty of playful spirit, especially when it comes to fetch — one of his favorite games. He already knows how to sit, is very treat-motivated, and shows great potential for learning even more with positive reinforcement. Sammy walks well on a harness, enjoys sniffing everything along the way, and rides wonderfully in the car, happily watching the world go by.
Sammy is affectionate, eager to please, and full of joyful energy, but he would do best as the only animal in the home so he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. With his gentle nature and lovable zest for life, he’s ready to bring joy and companionship to a home of his own.
If you’re searching for a loyal, loving, fun dog with a heart of gold, Sammy might just be your perfect match.
Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.
