My story

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

🧙‍♂️🐾 Meet Samwise — a loyal little hero ready to join your Fellowship. 🐾🌿

Every great adventure needs a steadfast companion, and Samwise is ready for his next quest. He’s a 5–6 month old Lab and Shepherd mix with the heart of a gardener, the spirit of a Hobbit, and the devotion of a true best friend. 💛🐶 Born around September 2025, Samwise is already proving himself brave, playful, and endlessly affectionate.

Samwise finds joy in the simple pleasures of Middle-earth. He loves basking in the sun, digging for the finest sticks he can find, and proudly carrying his toys like precious treasures. 🌞🦴 When the day winds down, he’s all about cuddles and sticking close to his people, especially his favorite humans. Being alone is not his favorite — this pup thrives on companionship and attention. 🤍

His adventuring skills so far:
Knows how to sit and fetch like a proper young Ranger ⚔️
About 80% crate trained and improving daily 🏡
Working on leash skills with curious enthusiasm 🚶
Doggie door not yet discovered, but he’s eager to learn ✨

Samwise loves to play and would do best with an active household that enjoys daily quests, games, and time together. He currently lives in a house and enjoys room to run, though he could adapt to apartment living with enough exercise and engagement. 🏃‍♂️🌿 He may do especially well with an active male companion and people who enjoy including their dog in everyday life.

As for the rest of the realm, Samwise’s experiences with other dogs, cats, and kids are still being discovered, as he’s been the only dog in his foster home so far. 🐕🐱👧

Samwise isn’t searching for a Ring — he’s searching for his Frodo. 💫 A home filled with love, play, attention, and shared sunshine. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun-loving pup who wants nothing more than to walk beside you through life, Samwise is ready to join your story. 🐾🌄
