Story
Young, athletic and lovable are three things that describe Layla. This pretty girl is just about a year old and has already spent too much of her young life without a loving family. She was found as a stray and she is so ready for a family to find her. Layla is a smart, energic girl and would be happy in an active lifestyle. She really enjoys spending time with all people and she thinks she is still a small pup and tries to fit herself in your lap. She has done very well walking and playing with other dogs she's met at the shelter. A meet and greet is required with any potential canine siblings. Layla is waiting to start her new adventures, could it be with you? To meet Layal please complete an interest form at www.sammyshope.org/dog-app An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.September 21, 2023, 7:54 pm

Story
This stunningly handsome young gentleman is Luke. He is 2 1/2 years old, and he is the sweetest! Luke is a large boy, but don't let his size fool you, he thinks he is a lap dog. He is calm and gentle and loves being with people. Luke walks very well on leash, though he seems to prefer lounging in the sun and rolling in the grass over long walks. When you look into his beautiful eyes you can't help but fall in love with him. He would be an amazing companion. If you are interested in meeting Luke, please complete an interest form at www.sammyshope.org/dog-app An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.September 21, 2023, 7:54 pm

Story
Introducing compact little cutie Candace! She is an American Bulldog mix about 2 years old and she is the perfect size for cuddling. She is a happy, sweet girl and she loves to lay her head in your hands to get all the petting she can. She also likes to show her silly side, rolling herself up in a towel, flopping on her back for belly rubs and her favorite move, the army crawl. She walks well on leash too. Candace was found abandoned tied to a pole, but all that is behind her now and she is ready to find someone that will love and spoil her forever!

Story
Cali is a five year old lab/ hound mix. Cali is an amazing dog! She loves kids and is very calm. She loves to play in the yard. She is 100% house broken and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. She loves her naps and loves to cuddle. I am sad writing this because our family just grew larger. We have twin girls and a 6 year old. I go to work in the office and my wife stays home with the kids. Unfortunately, my wife can’t handle three kids and Cali all at one time. I am looking for her to have a forever home with a lot of laughs and cuddles. She is an amazing dog!
