SAMMY - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $100. Online Adoption Application › Hi! I am Sammy. Foster mom calls me "Sam-Sam" and "Sambone/Hambone." She says I have never met a meal I didn't like. Speaking of, although I may be a bully breed, I am definitely NOT a bully when it comes to food. I take treats gently and do not have any food agression. I even sit and wait for my treats and food. I am about 3 years old, so all that puppy energy, SO last year! I like to get some exercise, but I also know how to chill and chew on a bone. Gotta go to work? That is fine! I am totally fine in a crate. Foster mommy thinks eventually I won't need one because I will use my manners even when my humans are gone, but I have to get comfortable first. See, I used to live outside in a crate 24/7, so this whole inside thing is pretty new to me. Fortunately, I learn pretty quickly. I have learned that you get lots of pets, soft furniture, and stay warm inside. Foster mom even let's me sleep on the bed, but I don't have to. It does make me really happy, though. I know inside is NOT for pottying. I learned that in less than a week. I still like to bark when there are strangers or weird noises, but not for long. I squeak bark when I want attention or pets but that is easily redirected. Did I mention I LOVE dogs? They are almost my favorite things (next to my person and treats). I get along with all kinds of dogs. Foster mom says I am really good at figuring out their personality. Cats? I cannot help but try to catch them, so I do not need to be around them. I love chasing balls and chewing on toys and bones. I am really starting to get a hang of this sophisticated dog thing. I would really love a forever home. Foster mom has a cat, so I need to find my feline free forever. I am the bestest boy. Will you give me a chance? I hope to get pets from you soon! Love, SAMMY update as of 8/13/2026 Hi! It's me again, Sammy. Sammers. Sammy Sausage. I am still out here being a good boy a waiting on my forever family. Foster mom loves that I take treats gently and know how to sit for my leash and at the door. I have no problem going on my crate while my humans are at work. I prefer sleeping with them or at least my own dog bed, though. I didn't know what snuggles and soft blankies were before. Now I love them! Oh..and chew toys! The best. I love having doggie siblings. However, I realize that some male dogs are not my style. Don't worry. I LOVE my foster sisters and my foster brother. I just need to check the boys out first. Cats? Eh...I cannot resist the urge to chase and get a little too fixated...so I probably need to steer clear. Did I mention I am a resident security guard? Give me a fence and I am on paw patrol!!! I walk gently on a leash though. It takes a proper meeting to warm up to men, but after that, we can be buds. I like to play some but do not have too much energy as long as I get to run around and be nosey. I am almost 4, so all that puppy energy wears me out! I will bark at strangers and high pitch bark for belly rubs. I mean, who wouldn't? I really am a good boy who picks his person and is super loyal. Will you be the one who gives me a chance and loves me forever?
