My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Samantha came to the shelter as a super skinny stray, so not much is known about her. She also had some pretty severe wounds that have healed up nicely with the proper veterinary care. She is the sweetest little lady and we`re all in love with her. We can`t wait for her forever family to find her. Check out what her adventure buddies have to say after her Dog-Day-Out sleepover:
`Her sweet personality makes her the cutest dog! She stands really well in the shower and will greet you with a slow waddle over after she settles in. She loves to see what you`re doing and also enjoys getting out and going for walks. She is still nervous and pulls on the leash, but with reassurance she walks well. She is scared of cars and LOVES everyone and wants to say hi! Although excited at first she settles down as a lazy companion. She can be up for fun ball chasing and walking with you outside. She is semi house trained, but will need continued training.`
MORE DOG DAY OUT INSIGHTS FROM HER ADVENTURE BUDDIES:
`Samantha was wonderful on her Dog Day Out! We went on a 2.5-mile trail and she walked very well on a leash and was a great backseat passenger. She slept on the car ride back to the shelter after our walk. We gave space to other dogs and people while walking and rewarded her bringing her attention back to us with treats and praise. She can be jumpy and a bit mouthy when excited or curious - but with training, treats/toys, and praise she is quick to learn! She is such a sweetheart and would be great with someone who has some dog experience under their belt.`
