tive, Fearful, and Looking for Her Person Sammie is a 4-year-old brindle Great Dane who needs more than just a home—she needs an experienced, committed adopter who will continue her training and help her feel safe. Her Challenges Sammie is a sensitive, fearful girl. Loud noises, sudden movements, strangers, and other animals overwhelm her, and she reacts out of fear. She’s not suited for busy homes, dog parks, or crowded spaces. She also needs a secure, fenced yard—this girl is a runner when she’s scared. Because of this, Sammie must have: ✨ An experienced owner (fearful Dane experience strongly preferred) ✨ A quiet, calm household with no kids or other pets ✨ Someone home more than away to provide companionship and structure ✨ A commitment to ongoing training and rehabilitation with a professional The Sweet Side While Sammie has challenges, she also has so much love to give. She’s a classic Velcro Dane—leaning, pawing, cuddling, and following her humans everywhere. If you sit, she’s in your lap. If you move, she’s on your heels. She craves closeness and thrives on gentle affection. Her Playful Spirit Sammie is not your average couch potato Dane—she has energy to spare. She loves fetch, tug, and proudly prancing with her toys. Zoomies are her specialty, which is why that fenced yard is a must. ✅ What She Knows She’s a smart girl who’s learned sit, down, stay, and even “please” (she’ll politely offer her paw ). She’s crate trained, not destructive when left alone, and does best walking with a Gentle Leader. Why Sammie’s Worth It Sammie isn’t for everyone. She won’t be your coffee shop dog or dog-park regular. But for the right person—patient, experienced, and committed—she’ll be the most loyal, silly, and snuggly companion you could ask for. Sammie doesn’t just need an adopter—she needs a partner. Someone who will laugh at her goofiness, guide her through her fears, and love her for who she is.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
