Meet Sam Winchester!
Sam Winchester is a 3-month-old Mini Poodle puppy weighing just 5 pounds, with a beautiful mostly white coat and an incredibly resilient personality. He is a double merle, born as the result of breeding that prioritized coat color over health. As a result, Sam has approximately 90% hearing loss and 90% vision loss. He approaches life with curiosity and joy, never letting his disabilities define him. He loves attention, enjoys being close to his people, and continues to show that he's every bit as sweet and deserving as any puppy.
This sweet little guy is learning what it means to be part of a loving home. He's doing great with potty training and will happily take care of business as soon as he hits the grass. At bedtime, Sam settles down peacefully in his puppy pen with his brother, Dean Winchester.
Sam has a fun, determined personality and can be a bit stubborn-he knows what he wants and isn't shy about letting you know! Like any growing puppy, he's also teething and will need plenty of safe, appropriate chew toys to keep him busy and help protect household items.
He loves being around other dogs and people and has been adjusting well to life with canine companions of all ages and sizes. Sam would do best in a home with a confident dog of similar size and energy level who can serve as both a friend and a guide.
Because of his hearing and vision impairments, Sam needs a patient family that understands his special needs and is committed to helping him thrive. Experience with hearing- or vision-impaired dogs is a plus but isn't required for adopters who are willing to learn. A physically fenced yard is essential to help keep him safe while he explores and builds confidence.
Sam may experience the world differently than most puppies, but his affectionate nature, resilience, and playful spirit make him an incredibly rewarding companion. He's ready to find a family that will embrace him for exactly who he is and give him the happy life he deserves.
Sam Winchester is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $450.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
