My story

???? Say hello to Sammy!This lovable 6-year-old pibble is ready to steal your heart and start the next beautiful chapter of his life. ????Sammy is one of three dogs who recently arrived at our shelter through a wonderful shelter-swap program, giving long-stay pets a new opportunity to meet families who might be the perfect match. Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery to find forever! ????Sammy’s past hasn’t been easy. He was left behind in a crate with another dog and no food after his owner was incarcerated. ?? Thankfully, he was rescued just in time. Even though he arrived underweight, Sammy’s spirit was still shining — and now he’s gaining weight, building confidence, and letting his joyful personality bloom. ???His previous shelter described him as:?? Incredibly kind? Energetic?? Snack-motivated?? Very smartThis sweet guy has mastered sit, lie down, and has one of the best “stay” commands you’ll ever see! He LOVES other dogs and thrives with canine companionship. ??????And seriously… just LOOK at that squishy face ?? and his adorable charm ??.Sammy recently had his first training session with HK9 students, and he was an absolute angel — loving every second of attention and winning over every person he met.Sammy truly is the full package:?? Handsome?? Loving?? Social?? Ready for his fresh startWe’re confident his forever family is out there — and once they meet him, they won’t be able to resist this amazing boy. ???Come meet Sammy in person at the shelter and experience the magic of life with a pibble!?? 430 Bristol Dr., Statesville, NC?? Sammy / A3162686 years old • Neutered Male • 45.5 lbs • Neutered male • Microchip • Vaccines & preventatives as administered while at ICAS?? Adoption Fee: 8??0????
