Sammie Mixed Breed Fredericksburg, VA

Approximate Age: 2 years old
Approximate Weight: 63lbs

Hi, I'm Sammie. My foster mom says honesty is the best policy when looking for my furever family. So here is the truth, I'm a big goof ball. I have little spatial awareness and don't realize that I'm a big dog that loves to be a lap dog. I am a smart dog that needs a family to help me learn. My foster family says I’m truly a good boy who just needs a family to teach me how to show it. I'm a quick learner as they taught me how to overcome my fear of the big scary steps. Now I go up and down them with ease. I hated being in a kennel at first, but now I am good in large, sturdy kennel. My foster family is now teaching me sit and off. I love, love, LOVE to play. I do well on a leash and my next love is to go on a walk or hike. I also like to lean on your leg to help keep you safe. I have fursiblings in my foster home. But, I am working on not jumping on or humping my friends. My foster family promises me the right family is out there. They say 2024 is my year to find my furever family. Are you ready for me to be a part of your family?

You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!

Hope to see you soon!

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.
