Sammy's Story

Furry Sidekick has a minimum age requirement of 21. <br/>Sammy is in a foster home located in Corsicana TX<br/>Transport to your area is available through our rescue after adoption <br/><br/>Application is required. Copy and Paste https://forms.gle/LV9bjS4QUMLG1R8E8 <br/><br/>Meet Sammy — a big, handsome German Shepherd mix with a playful personality, a smart mind, and just enough stubbornness to keep life interesting.<br/><br/>At around 70–80 pounds and 3–5 years old, Sammy is the kind of dog who looks impressive but is really just a goofy oversized companion who wants to enjoy life with his people. He’s smart, learns quickly, and responds well to clear boundaries — though he may occasionally pretend he didn’t hear you the first time if he thinks he has a better idea.<br/><br/>Sammy rides wonderfully in the car and would happily join you for adventures, errands, or weekend outings. At home, he’s surprisingly easy to live with. He does well spending time on his own, isn’t destructive, and settles nicely when given structure and routine.<br/><br/>When Sammy first arrived, he did have some marking habits indoors, but he has improved significantly over time. He responds very well to correction, and a firm “no” is usually enough to remind him of the rules. Consistency and routine have helped him tremendously, and he continues to make progress.<br/><br/>He absolutely needs a secure fenced yard to truly be happy. Sammy enjoys being outside, stretching his legs, exploring, and keeping an eye on his surroundings. He stays in the yard well and enjoys having space to roam and play.<br/><br/>Sammy is playful and fun-loving, but he will need continued leash training since he can pull when excited. He’s a strong boy who doesn’t always realize his own size, so ongoing training and structure will help him become the best version of himself.<br/><br/>Because of his enthusiasm and size, Sammy would likely do best with older or school-aged children who won’t accidentally get bowled over during one of his happy moments.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal companion with personality, intelligence, and a playful spirit — a dog who’s equal parts adventure buddy and lovable goofball — Sammy may be exactly who you’ve been searching for..<br/><br/>As an adoption fee-based rescue, we do not operate on monthly support. Our adoption fee of $350 covers transport, which is arranged post-adoption, and is tax-deductible as we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Should you wish to arrange your own transport, the adoption fee remains the same. Thank you for your valuable support. <br/><br/>Find us on https://www.facebook.com/groups/1712688896286283 <br/><br/>https://www.furrysidekickrescue.org/

Furry Sidekick Rescue's Adoption Policy
Submitting your application – that's Step 1 completed! Step 2: Group Text Introduction We’ll start a group text chat with the dog’s foster or rescuer. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and get to know more about the dog. If you'd like, we can also set up a video meet-and-greet through our phones for a more personal connection. Step 3: Virtual Home Visit We'll schedule a Google Meet or FaceTime call to virtually tour your home. We'll need to see common living areas and the yard—no need to show bedrooms. Please have a piece of mail with your address visible during the call. After this step I will call your references. Step 4: Adoption Contract Once everything checks out, I’ll submit your application to the board along with my recommendation for approval. While the final decision is up to them, they typically go with my recommendation. Step 5: Final Details This step includes a conversation about ownership, adoption fees, any applicable deposits, and transport arrangements (if needed) could be 5-30 days depending on time frame.
