Story
Meet Sam Elliot!Sam Elliot is a playful, energetic, and snuggly 1-year-old, 11-pound male Dachshund mix from Texas, now living in Brooklyn and ready to find his forever family!
Sam Elliot is full of life and loves to be the center of attention—whether he's playing with toys, following his foster mom around, or having a blast with his foster brother. He’s a loving little shadow who enjoys both active play and cozy downtime, making him the perfect balance of energetic and affectionate.
He’s pee pad trained and currently working on his housetraining and crate training, so his new family will need to continue his progress. Sam Elliot is still refining his leash skills and gets easily distracted by the sights and sounds of the city, especially when he sees other dogs! His forever family will need to help him work through these distractions to help him gain confidence on walks.
Sam Elliot has some separation anxiety and doesn’t love being left alone in his crate during the workday, but he thrives with lots of love, attention, and snuggles from his people. He’s a sweet boy who would do well in a home with or without children, and he could be an only dog or enjoy the company of another dog. It’s unknown how he’ll react to other animals in the household, so a slow introduction would be ideal.
Sam Elliot would be a perfect match for an active family who’s ready for his high-energy playtime and cuddly moments. He’s ready to continue his journey of learning and growth with a family who will support him as he adjusts to his new life. Could that be you?
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
To apply for Sam, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
