Sam

Meet little Sam, our adorable Shih Tzu puppy who was surrendered to us alongside Ari, the cat. Remember Ari? The little girl who was supposed to be a Maltese puppy? Well, Sam was actually the Maltese puppy’s equally adorable accomplice. 😂 But unfortunately, their story isn’t quite as funny as the mix-up. Just like Ari, little Sam arrived showing signs that he may have been mistreated. We suspect he may have been kicked or physically hurt, and at just four months old, he’s already learned to be cautious around people. Sometimes he gets scared. Sometimes he doesn’t quite know whether he can trust the humans around him. And honestly, that breaks our hearts. Because he’s just a baby. 🥹 But underneath that uncertainty, we’re already seeing glimpses of the wonderful little puppy Sam really is. He’s curious, sweet and absolutely adorable. He gets along beautifully with cats, and slowly but surely, he’s discovering that the world doesn’t have to be such a scary place. Sam doesn’t need a family expecting a perfectly confident, outgoing puppy from day one. He needs someone patient. Someone gentle. Someone who will celebrate the little victories and give him the time he needs to feel safe. And we have a feeling that once he realises he’s finally home, this little boy is going to blossom into the most wonderful, loving companion. 🤎 After all, he’s only four months old. He has his entire life ahead of him. And we’d really love for the rest of that life to be filled with nothing but love, cuddles and happy memories. Let’s make sure Sam never has another reason to be afraid of the people who are supposed to love him. 🤎
