Isla - Samoyed Dog for Adoption in St. Peters, Missouri

Sweet Isla is looking for her forever home!
Please read in entirety!!

Isla is a female Samoyed, about one year old. Isla came to SLSR from the Iowa seizure in Spring 2026. Isla is very sweet, but has some puppy mill tendencies, which is not surprising as the situation was similar to a puppy mill, with lack of socialization.

Isla is looking for a calm home without kids, as the kiddos energy makes her nervous. Too much going on in the home causes Isla anxiety. Preferably, Isla's forever home would be best to have her people at home more than gone.

Isla needs a six foot privacy fence, no exceptions! Isla has learned to climb her fosters four foot fence, and will do so when she sees something she wants to chase outside of the fence.

Isla does amazing with other dogs and she has learned to trust her foster mom. Her foster mom works from home, which has helped Isla trust her. Isla is still shy and skittish are people she does not know. She is not the typical Samoyed that will run up to people. She may get there, but it will take time.

Isla needs an understanding home that will allow her to progress and continue working on her confidence and training.

Isla is in a foster home in the Omaha, Nebraska area.

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.
