SAMMY

My story

Sammy is a very special boy who’s never known the stability and love every dog deserves — but we’re determined to change that.   This beautiful Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix came into a rural Tennessee shelter as a stray in the fall of 2024, just over a year old. Life finally seemed to turn around when he was adopted that December, but heartbreak struck again. On July 1st, 2025, Sammy’s adoptive family lost their home and were forced to move into a small camper. At 75 pounds, there simply wasn’t room for Sammy — and with heavy hearts, they returned to the shelter for help.   Thankfully, Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in, and a miracle foster named Alyssa opened her heart and home to him. Sammy walked in with his usual gentle, submissive nature, as if he knew he was being given another chance. He’s been thriving in foster care with other dogs, soaking up the comfort and kindness he’s longed for his whole life.   Sammy is the kind of dog you can’t help but fall in love with. He’s incredibly sweet, calm, and affectionate — soft to the touch and even softer in spirit. He walks beautifully on a leash and draws attention wherever he goes thanks to his stunning looks and soulful eyes. But more than that, he draws hearts in with his quiet plea for permanence and love.   We’ve promised Sammy that his next home will be forever. His dream home includes:   A fenced yard to safely explore A soft bed to call his own A family who won’t leave him alone for long hours And most of all — commitment and unconditional love     Sammy is ready to be your loyal companion, your gentle best friend, your heart dog.   Interested in adopting Sammy?
