SAMMY - Colonial Cocker Spaniel-Shih Tzu Mix Male Dog For Adoption in Westmont, Illinois, USA

Dog Breed: Spaniel / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat).

This adorable little guy is Sammy, a 2-5 year old, mixed breed pup who is friendly, sweet, affectionate, cuddly, and playful. He is a wonderful companion! Sammy loves to go for walks, loves to run and play, and go for car rides with the window open for some fresh air. He is housebroken, is well mannered when his foster leaves the house, and is potty trained. Did we already say he loves to cuddle! Sammy’s foster mom says, “As soon as you sit down, Sammy jumps in your lap and throws his head back to give you kisses.” In addition, Sammy wants to be where you are so he’ll follow you around the house to hang out with you. He loves to eat, but can be a bit of a picky eater. Although Sammy gets along generally well with the other dog in his foster home, he is possessive of food; therefore, his foster mom separates the dogs for meal times so there is no conflict. She also does not leave bones laying around to cause rivalry. When Sammy’s foster mom leaves the house, she keeps the dogs separated so there are no conflicts. Although Sammy can live with another dog, we think he would be perfectly content as the only dog in the home. Sammy is a rescued stray, is afraid of loud noises and fire works, and can be a runner (fast pup) so we are requiring his adopter have a securely fenced yard for toileting breaks and play time. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, been provided inoculations, been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases (negative), as well as has been dewormed, neutered and microchipped.
