Story
My name is Sam the Shitzu. My foster mom says I am a bundle of energy, so she was more than surprised to hear I am about 5 years old.
I live with 4 fur-fosters about my size. During the day we love running around outside chasing squirrels or racing for toys my foster mom throws for us. We each sleep in our own crates for naps (while humans are away) and bedtime.
I am relatively quiet in my crate throughout the night unless I hear a noise or know my humans are around. Sometimes I do get lonely and I will let the world know, lol.
Yes, I am a barker, and I might be mistaken for a larger dude, unlike a yippy pomeranian. I travel well in a crate in the car, it did take a couple rides to get used to it, I will admit.
I walk best on a leash with a harness; I am a bit stubborn and insist on leading the way, yes “it’s my way or the highway”! I do love being the center of attention. I will jump onto the chair to sit next to you. I love being pet, and although I do not growl I do get nippy when I play and get excited to play! But you cannot blame me! I have been sick and hurting for a long time and NOW that I have my horrible hernia repaired, am neutered and had big bladder stones removed, AND my cherry eye repaired! I am HAPPY AND PLAYFUL!! I feel like I am reliving my puppyhood and am looking for someone who can keep up with me!
My diet consists of Honest Kitchen (great for hiding liquid medicine) and some treats like bell and sweet peppers (so-so), cooked smashed carrots, cucumber (so-so), papaya, pineapple, cheeses, hard boiled egg… most of which are great for hiding pills of any sort.
I cannot wait to meet my furever family 💕 I have so much love to give. My furever family will be a happy and loving family, older kids are better than the young ones, active and do not live in an apartment because i do bark. I would love to have someone who works from home so I can cuddle and play ALL DAY LONG!! But I am good in a crate if you need to leave me :D
