Poodle and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Sammy and I'm from MN.

Don't let Sammy's age or little legs fool you! She is a speedy little girl. She loves going on walks and will want to prance and dance with you! And oh boy does she love butt scratches. Her playfulness and silliness really shine through when her zoomies kick in! After a good workout, Sammy is ready to cozy up and relax with you.

Sammy is a true sweetheart. She is so happy and loving all the time! Sammy knows how to get more cuddles and love with her big smiles and random kisses. All Sammy wants is love, and she has so much love to give. Whether it's cuddled into your side or cozy in your lap, Sammy will remind you how happy she is by looking up at you with a big ole smile.

Sammy gets along with our dog, and they will sleep, eat, and go on walks together. Sammy is also just starting to play with our dog.

Sammy will need some basic training. She knows come, no, stop, and responds positively to kind names. She is not fond of a kennel and prefers to roam or be in a room instead. Sammy has some resource guarding with treats/toys. She responds well to firm commands and will give it up.
