My name is Sammie!

I am Sam...Sam I am...I've never had green eggs and ham...But that could change if you adopt me!

Hi everyone, my name is Sammy and I am on the hunt for a family to call my own. I was born around 10/17.  I am not sure what breed I am, but what I am sure of is that I am very pretty!  I mean, just take a look at my face--this eyeliner is all natural!  My foster mom says I will grow to be a small to medium-sized dog. I come with quite the origin story, so let me get you all caught up before I tell you all of the reasons why I am so amazing. 

I was separated from my mom as a young puppy and I had to navigate the world by myself for a while.  Being so little, I didn't know very much about how to survive on my own. But what I did know is that I that I needed to find a new mom. So off I went, searching high and low, until one lucky day, I found her. Gracie was a stray dog just like me, and we bonded instantly. I decided to promote her to a very coveted, very special position: "Sammy's Mom". Together, we managed to travel all the way to Illinois in search of a forever home. 

As much as I loved my Gracie, she got adopted recently and we were separated. So now I am back to square one--eagerly searching for my new mom (or dad...or both!) I've done it before and I will do it again! 

You would love to be my guardian because: 

The fur around my mouth and face makes me look like I am wearing a mask, but I am the opposite of a bandit! I am a very good girl. 

I am a great listener and I will follow your rules. You won't have any problems training me, I want to learn and do as you say! 

I have a good sense of right and wrong. If I know I did something bad, I can correct myself. 

I am very respectful to other animals. I have lots of energy since I am still a puppy, but I will act differently based on my environment. For example, if you have older dogs, I will be very polite in how I play and interact with them. If they don't want to play with me, I can have just as much fun playing on my own! 

I get along with cats as well. You know how people say "cats are liquid"? Well, they should start saying that about me, because I sure can fit into any environment!  

I am very social and adventurous. I like meeting new people and animals, and I am not afraid to try new things and activities. Hiking buddy? Jogging buddy? Travel buddy? Snuggle on couch & watch TV buddy? I can do it all!
