**Sammy is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**Sammy is a sweet, social boy with a huge heart and a wiggly bum! He’s thrilled to meet everyone he encounters, including young kids, and greets new friends with enthusiasm. Sammy adores his humans and firmly believes he belongs as close as possible at all times; whether that’s curled up beside you or attempting to be a lap dog (regardless of his size), snuggles are non-negotiable.This high-energy guy loves his daily walks and would make a fantastic adventure buddy for an active home that enjoys getting out and about together! While Sammy’s past is a bit of a mystery, he may do well with other animals given slow, thoughtful introductions. In a previous foster home, he did interact wonderfully with a 5-year-old and would likely love little humans to run around with! Sammy does have allergies, but it’s been very manageable with the right diet and medication, and it doesn’t slow him down from living a full, happy, love-filled life! He’s ready to bring joy, energy, and endless affection to his forever family, the rest is up to you!Sammy is:- good with kids- open to dogs (minor reactivity in shelter)- open to cats but did fixate in a former foster home

Story
Age: 2 yearsMeet Traeger, your future best friend with the happiest heart and the sweetest soul! Traeger is an affectionate, people-loving pup who truly lights up whenever he’s around his humans. Whether you`re relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or enjoying time outside, Traeger simply wants to be where you are. His favorite thing in the whole world? Forehead scratches! Give him a gentle rub and watch his eyes soften as he melts into pure happiness. While we don’t know much about Trager’s past, what we do know is that he wakes up each day with a joyful spirit and a wagging tail. Traeger would thrive in a home where he can soak up attention, share snuggles, and be part of the family’s daily adventures. He’s the kind of dog who will greet you like you’ve been gone for years (even if it’s just five minutes!) and remind you every day how special unconditional love truly is. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you endlessly and happily lean in for forehead scratches anytime you offer them, Traeger is ready to fill your home with joy.Traeger has:- No history with children.- No history with cats or small animals. - No history with dogs.

With her adorable face and penchant for doggy kisses, she has the makings of a friendly companion! Just be sure that you`re ready to help teach Sadie some proper doggy manners as she can get over-excited and try to jump when meeting new people.Sadie is also a very active dog that would thrive in a home that is just as busy and energetic as she is. Be sure that you`re prepared to offer her all of the walks, training, and enrichment she needs to stay at her happiest and healthiest! Speaking of her new family, Sadie should be the only pet in home as she does not get along well with other animals. But you won`t go without as she`ll be sure to give you all of the cuddles and affection you would ever need!In her previous foster home, we discovered that Sadie-Lady is completely house trained, non-destructive and can be left alone to free roam for a work or school day without issue. She did great with her 12-year-old human foster sister, and has had successful supervised interactions with a younger child as well. Her former foster family says she is the `perfect balance of playful and calm` and `just loves love`!Can you already imagine the life you could have with Sadie by your side? If so, or if you want to learn more, than come meet Sadie today. She can`t wait to say hi!Sadie-Lady is:- open to kids- no dogs- no cats or small animals
