Meet Samantha, an adorable 10-month-old, 16-pound scruffy terrier mix who is looking for her perfect forever home. Samantha is sweet and affectionate but can be timid and slow to warm up. Once she feels comfortable, she’ll be your loyal lapdog who won’t want to leave your side. She enjoys playing like the puppy she is and would love a doggy playmate to keep her company. She’s fantastic with other dogs and even ignores cats altogether!
Though Samantha is a submissive girl, she needs someone patient and willing to build trust with her, as she can be a bit skittish when you try to catch her. She’s never mean—she’ll just run. Once you’ve earned her trust, she’ll be eager to snuggle up next to you. Because Samantha didn’t get early socialization, she’s still learning how to navigate the world, which makes her a bit more of a “high maintenance” pup. But with time, gentle guidance, and some training to help her gain confidence, she’s sure to blossom into an amazing companion.
Samantha’s perfect home is one with patient people who are ready to help her build trust, work on house training, and help her learn to chew on the right things. She’s still working through some puppy behaviors, but her heart is full of love, and she’s ready to share it with the right family.
If you’re looking for a sweet, shy girl who will be forever grateful for your care and patience, Samantha is ready to find her forever home!
