Meet Sam!
A thoughtful nine-month-old Shiba Inu mix currently in Smyrna, TN, whose gorgeous golden and white coat complements his calm personality, curious mind, and wonderfully observant nature.
Weighing around 50 pounds, Sam is a handsome, sweet-natured boy who approaches life with the curiosity of a little detective. Sam is often quietly studying his surroundings, watching everything unfold as though he's solving an important mystery. His alertness, intelligence, and gentle demeanor make him an especially endearing companion.
Don't let his calm personality fool you, though! Sam enjoys the simple pleasures of puppyhood, including chasing balls, chewing bones, playing with stuffed toys, and exploring his environment. He's a playful youngster who also appreciates opportunities to observe, learn, and take everything in!
Sam is exceptionally bright and picks up training quickly. He has received basic obedience instruction and is learning leash manners through Bark Busters. His lifelong training membership may transfer to his new family for a fee, providing valuable opportunities to continue his education. He's still developing his skills, and positive reinforcement will help him become a confident adult companion.
This wonderful boy is neutered, vaccinated, house-trained, and crate-trained, with excellent health. He handles short periods alone well and enjoys a consistent routine, including twice-daily meals and a bedtime treat. His beautiful coat will benefit from regular brushing to manage seasonal shedding.
Sam would love to find a new loving home alongside his brother Koda, but they can also be adopted separately. His compatibility with cats and other dogs hasn't been established, and interactions with children need further assessment.
Sam needs an experienced pet parent comfortable with larger dogs who can offer continued training, enrichment, and a securely fenced yard. His thoughtful personality and eagerness to learn make him a promising companion for a nurturing family.
With his watchful eyes, gentle spirit, and playful heart, Sam has so much companionship to offer! Are you ready to welcome this curious, intelligent sweetheart into your family's next adventure?
