Description:
Meet Sammy – a smart, silly girl whose favorite place in the world is right next to her person on the couch. She’ll follow you from room to room, happy just to be near you. Sammy is an elite-level snuggler—she wants to be close, but she’s respectful if you need space. She’s easygoing and low-maintenance, always up for a game if you are, but perfectly content entertaining herself too. Sammy enjoys both short and long walks (shorter when it’s chilly!), and she walks nicely on a leash. She has a charming collection of oversized stuffed animals that she proudly shows off to visitors—it's seriously adorable. Crate-trained and calm, Sammy often chooses to hang out in her crate just to relax. She can stay crated while you're at work, though she doesn’t need to be. While she can be reactive to other dogs, Sammy thrives as the only pup in the home. She does sometimes bark at passersby or unexpected household sounds, so a quieter home (not an apartment) would suit her best. That said, over the past week, she’s barely made a peep indoors—just a couple of barks when watching her person head out the door (and she quiets down quickly). Sammy’s also been doing great meeting kids! She’s recently met several children aged 6 to 10, and all interactions have gone smoothly—even when one eager child got a little too close to her face. Sammy handled it like a pro—calm and unbothered. While she’s generally reactive to other dogs, she’s had a few relaxed, positive encounters on walks recently. It’s promising, and with time and support, she may become more comfortable around them. For now, though, she’s happiest as your one-and-only.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
