Meet sammy

Once upon a time, this dog answered to the name Savage. After two returns, we decided the name was less branding and more prophecy. So we scrapped it, cleared the emotional air, and gave him a name that reflects who he actually is-not who chaos thought he might be.*Meet SAMMY*Sammy is a young Miniature Pinscher looking for his forever home. This time, we`re doing things thoughtfully, realistically, and with full transparency-because Sammy deserves the right match, not just a match.Sammy makes an excellent first impression. He`s adorable, compact, and textbook Min Pin stylish. He`s affectionate, animated, and deeply invested in being part of your daily routine-even the parts that do not require assistance. Once he feels safe, he`s a world-class cuddler who will stick to you like Velcro and take that responsibility very seriously.He is crate-trained and thrives with structure. When left alone or unsupervised, crating is a must-because Sammy has a strong belief that unattended food is community property. He`s housebroken on a consistent schedule, knows sit and down, and eats like someone might steal his meal, so a slow feeder is required.Sammy is dog-friendly with proper introductions and loves to romp around with his foster sister. He enjoys car rides, and absolutely loves his walks. At home, he channels his joy through high-speed zoomies while proudly parading a toy like a victory flag. Give him space to burn energy, and afterward he`s perfectly content to chew a Nylabone and settle in for calm, close companionship.Cat compatibility? Well, Sammy is intensely curious about cats and initially reacts with enthusiasm best described as socially overwhelming. He wants to investigate, engage, supervise, and possibly narrate. With calm leadership and management, he may be able to coexist peacefully-but this is not a plug-and-play situation and needs to be taken seriously.Now for the fine print, if you will:Sammy can be unsure when new people enter the home and may bark while he evaluates the situation. He can also show moments of possessiveness. These behaviors are manageable with consistent handling, clear boundaries, and a confident adult who understands canine body language.Because of this, Sammy requires an adult-only home-one that respects structure, routine, and the reality that small dogs are not automatically `easy dogs.`But you`re not doing this alone! Sammy will be placed through
