Hi, I’m Samilia, but since we’re friends, you can call me Sami! 

Sami is one of my nicknames from my foster family;  I’ve got a couple! I also go by ‘snugglebug’, ‘the silly seal’, and ‘sweetest, friendliest, cutest, bestest puppy in the world’.  

That last one’s my stage name, so consider the following my audition to be your new family member!

Desired Role: The treasured puppy in a family who loves me 

Key Traits: Amazing perky ears, super adorable spots, and a trademark side eye

Past Roles: In my foster family I’ve been playing the role of ‘super sweet, go with the flow, friend to all’

Special Talents: Playing with my doggy friends, loving on my humans, sleeping in literally any position

And now for my monologue! 

First there was nothing.  Then. There. Was.  Sami!!!  I’m a dog well on her way to being famous for all my amazingness! My foster family says I’m ‘incredibly sweet’ and ‘get along with everyone I meet’.  I settled in with them right away, and I’m confident I’ll join my new cast and crew, I mean family, just as easily.  I love making new friends, human and canine!  

I have 2 doggy foster siblings, and 1 human toddler foster sibling, and I love them so so much!!  My favorite part of my day is helping my foster mom wake my toddler brother up with cuddles in the morning! The two of us are best buddies, and my foster mom thinks it's the cutest thing ever!

I’m talented at giving snuggles to everyone in my family, actually.  It’s one of my favorite things to do! I also love to curl up on the couch with my people for pets, I’m a big fan of car rides and trips to the dog park, and another activity I enjoy is hiking in quiet areas where I can enjoy nature to the fullest.

And now, for the finale, here is a succinct list of my most crowd-pleasing characteristics: 

• I’m a quick learner and already know how to “sit,”  “stay,” and “leave it”
• I’m crate trained, and happy to hang out in there while my family is away 
• I get along great with kids and other dogs 
• I don’t chew or get into things I shouldn't around the house 
• I’m both playful and great at settling down and snoozing when people are working from home, or relaxing on the couch

End scene! Curtain call! An Emmy for Sami! And maybe a forever family too? Click the red button if you want to be part of my next act! 

My foster guardian says: “My favorite thing about Sami is her snuggles and spunky personality!"

Likes: long; short walks, zoomies, cuddling, riding in the car, hikes

My ideal home: I'd do well in a variety of homes! I'm both apartment appropriate and good for a first time dog owner. I would love to have a yard and doggy siblings, but it’s not a must.  

Looking to fill your home with love, cuddles, and playful energy? Puppies make every day brighter, and slightly older ones (6–12 months) are the perfect balance! At this sweet age, you skip the hardest parts of puppyhood—like potty training, teething, and wild energy bursts—while still getting a young, adaptable dog to shape into a lifelong companion. Puppies are incredibly flexible and eager to bond, making them the perfect blank slate for you to help mold and train into a lifelong companion. Plus, you'll get to enjoy their cute antics and see their personality blossom each day.  Whether you’re ready to adopt or just want to foster, you’ll be giving a puppy the love and guidance they need—and getting boundless joy in return. Start the adventure of a lifetime—adopt or foster a puppy today!
