SAMMY - SHIBA INU / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shiba Inu / Mixed. About Me Meet Sammy, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart for routine and a soft spot for quiet companionship. At 8+ years old, Sammy is the perfect blend of independence and loyalty—he’ll happily follow you from room to room, but he also appreciates having his own space respected. Once he warms up, you’ll be treated to his signature head butts and the comfort of knowing you’re his chosen person. Sammy thrives on structure and daily walks—3 to 4 outings a day, rain or shine, are non-negotiable for him. He’s not a fan of doing his business in the yard, so those walks are essential for his happiness (and your peace of mind). While he’s leash trained and generally does well, he can be selective with other dogs and may react if another dog does first. With gentle guidance, he’s learning to navigate these moments. He’s a meticulous self-groomer but needs help with brushing, especially on his back. Sammy isn’t food motivated and is quite picky, but he’ll never say no to a beef gully stick. Toys are still a new concept for him, but he loves lounging on the deck with the resident pets. Sammy is best suited for a calm home—he’s great with cats and does well with tiny dogs, though he can play a bit rough due to his size. He prefers older, considerate children and isn’t comfortable with sudden movements or being crated. He does well when left out for short periods and hasn’t caused any trouble in his foster home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who values routine, enjoys peaceful walks, and will quietly be your shadow, Sammy might be your perfect match. He’s ready to find his person—could that be you? Apply to meet Sammy and see if you’re the one he chooses next. ---------- WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED?
