Sammy - Cattle Dog and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Columbia, Maryland

Meet Sammy — The Dog Everyone Keeps Overlooking

For more than a year, Sammy has watched other dogs find their families while he continues to wait.

Not because he isn’t loving.
Not because he isn’t smart.
Not because he isn’t ready.

Sammy simply hasn’t been seen by the right person yet.

At approximately 3 years old and 34 pounds, Sammy is a handsome, happy Potcake from Saint Lucia with a huge personality packed into a perfectly adventure-sized body. He is playful, intelligent, eager to learn, and has one of those smiles that makes it nearly impossible not to smile back.

Sammy is currently fostered at Spirited Canine, where he has spent his time learning, growing, and becoming the best version of himself. He enjoys other dogs and absolutely loves training and having a job to do. Give this boy something to learn and you can almost see the wheels turning.

Sammy would be a wonderful match for someone who wants a dog to truly be part of their life. Walks, hikes, training, exploring new places, backyard adventures—Sammy is ready to be your sidekick. He would especially love an adopter who sees his intelligence as something to nurture and who will continue giving him opportunities to learn.

And after all this time, he deserves something else, too:

To finally belong.

More than a year in foster care means more than a year without a home to call his own. Sammy has watched the world move around him while he waits for someone to choose him.

He doesn't know that he hasn't received the applications we hoped would come. He doesn't know that people have scrolled past his picture.

He just keeps showing up each day—happy, hopeful, and ready.

Somewhere out there is the person who will look at Sammy and wonder how everyone else missed him.

Maybe that person is you.

Sammy is neutered, approximately 3 years old and 34 pounds. He is a Potcake from Saint Lucia, good with other dogs, smart, active, eager to learn, and loves training and having a job.
