Sam's Story

Meet Sam. Sam is a sweet but timid dog and our longest resident at almost 6 years. Sam came to us as a mangy 6 week old baby with his siblings back in July of 2017. He was adopted but sadly was returned due to his fears at around 6 months old. With a little patience he would be a great calm addition to the family. Everything scares Sam until he&#39;s sure it&#39;s not going to hurt him. Sam does great with other dogs after he gets to know them. He&#39;s a little snappy if they are in his face the first week he&#39;s trying to adjust to his new environment. Sam is very happy and playful with other dogs after he knows they are not gonna hurt him and he&#39;s a little more comfortable in his new home. Sam would do best in a Quiet Home without children/teens. Even though Sam is a Shy/skittish boy, he warms up slowly. Sam will never be a lap baby but will lay beside you on couch/bed and will let you pet him once he&#39;s comfortable and settled. Sam has even been known on ocassion to play a quick game of chase and paw at the peoples hand and although they are a few rare moments it shows he at times can feel very comfortable and play with people. Sam loves a good game of fetch outside. Sam is house and crate trained. Walks pretty good on a leash. He absolutely adores his foster dad. Sam is around 6years old and 30 lbs. He&#39;s a terrier mix and is utd, hw negative (tested below detectable levels) and neutered! Sam has been in foster care so long we know there has to be a home out their for this special boy. With a little patience you will have the best buddy.<br/><br/>All dogs have a $175 adoption fee which includes vet check, age appropriate shots (atleast 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm test (if over 6 months), rabies (if atleast 16 weeks) and spay/neuter! Puppies will be altered before adoption. All rescues and shelters practice pediatric spay and neuter. This is essential in our rescue efforts and it is a policy that we will stick by. All dogs over 8 weeks and 2 pounds will be altered before adoption. There are no exceptions to this rule on all healthy and adoptable dogs.<br/><br/>Puppies/Dogs that are not available for adoption due to vetting not being complete can be reserved with an approved application and a non refundable $50 deposit. This deposit is applied to your adoption fee and the remaining $125 is due at pick up.<br/><br/>Wags and Whiskers is an all-volunteer rescue. We also have full-time jobs and Families. We will try to answer all questions and applications in a timely manner. Please be patient and bear with us . Do not contact Parkway Animal Hospital as they are a vet clinic and can not answer questions on behalf of Wags and Whiskers. All questions and comments must go directly through the rescue.
