My personality

My story

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

🎉 Meet Sam – the smiling, tail-wagging social butterfly! 🦖🐾
Sam is a handsome blue speckled heeler mix with a personality that fills the whole yard (and then some). This guy truly never meets a stranger—people, dogs, cats, kids, farm animals… Sam’s already friends with all of them and is shocked you haven’t realized it yet.
Originally, Sam was known to roam a bit, but he always chose kindness and comfort—often setting up camp on our back porch for a couple days at a time like, “Yep, this seems like a good place to be loved.” Now he’s ready to make that arrangement permanent in a forever home.
Sam is obsessed with attention in the best way. Say his name, talk to him, look in his general direction—and BOOM 💥—his legendary Dino tail goes into full helicopter mode. He also has the most endearing habit of smiling at you, proudly flashing his pearly whites when he’s happy (which is basically always). He knows his name well, so changing it would honestly feel illegal.
Brains? ✔️
Charm? ✔️✔️
Manners? ✔️✔️✔️
Sam is smart, thoughtful, and a big thinker. He knows his basic commands, is food motivated, learns quickly, and genuinely wants to do the right thing. He’s confident and independent but still affectionate, playful, and happy to hang with his people. He’s great in the car and has an all-around gold-star temperament.
Because of his heeler roots, Sam will need space to stretch those legs and a secure fenced yard—he’s adventurous and athletic, but once his energy is out, he’s perfectly content being your happy shadow.
Sam is AMAZING with:
Large and small dogs (male & female)
Cats
Farm animals
Small children, big kids, and elderly humans
Sam in a nutshell:
Adventurous • Affectionate • Athletic • Calm/Gentle • Clever • Confident • Friendly • Obedient • Playful • Smart & learns quickly
If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky, smiley, tail-wagging best friend who brings good vibes everywhere he goes—Sam is ready to move in and steal your heart. 💙🐾

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are foster based so there isn't one specific facility to visit our adoptables. Occasionally we have adoption events at Tractor Supply, 13641 Hwy 110, Tyler, TX 75703.

The fosters / volunteers are happy to facilitate meet and greets for potential adopters.
