Inara - Samoyed Dog for Adoption in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

6-Year-Old Spayed Female Samoyed Metro Detroit, Michigan

Meet Inara! This sweet, gentle girl is looking for a new forever home due to her owner’s financial hardship and inability to continue providing the care she deserves.

Inara is a quiet, calm, and loving Samoyed who enjoys the simple things in life. She loves her toys, stuffed animals, treats, car rides, and playing ball in the backyard. While she isn’t as active as she was when she was younger, she still enjoys playtime and spending time with her people. Her owner describes her as a very chill, affectionate girl with no known behavioral concerns.

A Little About Inara:

6 years old, spayed, approximately 74 pounds (should lose weight)
Sweet, gentle, and affectionate personality
House-trained and crate-trained
Walks nicely on leash
Obedient and eager to learn
Enjoys toys, treats, balls, and car rides
Good with other dogs, especially calmer dogs who aren’t rough players
Has lived with cats and is comfortable around them
Good with children who respect her space

Important Health Considerations

Inara has a history of partial CCL tears in her hind legs from an injury when she was younger. This is a chronic condition that requires a lifestyle mindful of her mobility. She needs to avoid jumping, rough play, being jumped on by other dogs, and prolonged running or strenuous activity. She can still enjoy walks and playing ball in the backyard within her physical limitations. A ramp or assistance getting into and out of vehicles is recommended, and minimizing stairs is beneficial.

She also has KCS (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), commonly known as dry eye, an autoimmune condition that prevents her from producing adequate tears. She requires lifelong eye medications, including tacrolimus eye drops, Optimune eye ointment, and eye lubricants to maintain her eye health.

She is reportedly otherwise healthy, current on vaccinations, and her owner has veterinary records available.

Her Ideal Home

A home with minimal stairs would be ideal.

Also due to her long standing injury a younger/highly energetic dog companion is not a great fit for her.
Location: Metro Detroit, Michigan

Placement Timeline: Her owner is hoping to find her a new home as soon as possible, ideally within the next month.

Inara is a lovely girl who deserves a home that understands her physical needs and appreciates her gentle, easygoing personality. We are looking for a family who can provide her with companionship, appropriate activity, and the ongoing medical care she needs to enjoy a comfortable life.

The Samoyed is a friendly and gentle dog breed known for its striking white coat and smiley expression. Originating from Siberia, Samoyeds were originally bred for herding reindeer and pulling sleds in harsh, cold environments. With their playful and sociable nature, Samoyeds make excellent family pets and are particularly good with children. They are intelligent, adaptable, and require regular grooming to maintain their fluffy, weather resistant double coat. Samoyeds thrive on human companionship and make loving, loyal additions to any household.
