Story
Pantera LOVES people, get to know her cuz shes curious. She like to be around to have easy access to her family, she does not shed. She eats dog healthy human food. Shes used to eating at 10am and 5pm, this can be changed. She likes to play but please, dont give her a ball if youre going to take it away, training with ball may be required. Pantera also gets comfortable for those who love their animals on furniture, if you want her off she obeys. Pantera is bilingual, English and Spanish. She has gotten comfy being around a bigger dog, but that dog is male so if shes introduced to other pets, just know that. She obeys but if she wants to be around enough, she sneaks. She knows how to stand with command up up and she spins and barks both together with spin (circle finger around her if it fails). She also knows lay down but she has trouble with it. She can be territorial, she likes to window watch and bark. Other animals are new to her, introduce her slowly.

Story
Hey, I'm Sam! I am a playful, energetic fella and think every person is my new best friend. My tail never stops wagging and I am happiest following you around the house or watching over my big sister. As much as I love to frolic and play, I can also snuggle up to you and cuddle just as hard. My foster mom often picks me up, carries me around, and moves me here and there -- I don't mind at all and am easily handled. I've lived with children and cats before, too! My sister Sophie means the world to me and I simply cannot be without her, so if you fall in love with me you'll need to love her too -- we are a package deal. To see more of Sam in action, please follow this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jJgMg5gZmRktMYVMo5i73TCtRo6yrsJm This animal is currently in a foster home! To connect with their foster and schedule a meet-and-greet, email us at adopt@morrisanimalrefuge.org. Pennsylvania Kennel License number: 3068

Both very sweet, they can be a bit shy but only at first. They love to play with toys as well as other dogs. They're both crate trained. Such sweetness!
