Samira The Great

Meet Samira! 

Samira is this absolutely gorgeous, 7 year old gal that was unfairly given up by the man she loved her whole life.  You see, he moved away and decided he couldn't take her with.  Samira was devastated, but got a lucky break when an AMAZING foster family decided to take her in.  Samira has been loved by this family through thick and thin.  I asked this foster family several questions about Samira and this is what they had to say:

1.  What were your first impressions of Samira the first time you met her?

When we first met Samira, we immediately thought, "What a beauty!" She has stunning icy, blue eyes and is such a friendly gal.

2.  How did Samira behave when you first got her home?

She was curious and we let her check out the house and yard. She didn't like the cats, seldom do huskies get along with kitties though. She took to running and playing with our other dog right away.

3.  What are Samira's best attributes?

Samira is so smart, loyal and devoted. Her first days here she would noticeably perk up when a car would go by, when we were sitting outside. When the car didn't stop, she would slump against my daughters side, like she had hoped it was her daddy coming to get her. She deserves a family or individual that will love her always. She has such a big heart and so much love to give.

4.  What are Samira's worst attributes?

Samira does not do well left unattended. She came to us not knowing any manners, not even "sit." She has learned a lot here, but will be destructive if crated, or left for any long period of time, say 2+ hours. She wants to be with her people so badly that anxiety overwhelms her.

5.  How does Samira react to other dogs?

It truly depends on the dog. She and our husky get along well, but they did have a couple of quarrels over dominance. Samira also gets along with my parents male husky, but not my grandmother's female Shih Tzu.

6.  How does Samira do with strangers?

We have taken Samira to several events, parks, races, car show, etc. She has behaved very well, and is friendly. Many people have asked to pet her, most of the time she loves that. There have been a few instances where she shied away and would go behind me, as if to say she didn't want that specific person to touch her.

7.  Describe this dogs need for exercise and how a person needs to contain her when they leave.

Samira is a lot of fun to walk. She doesn't have to be ran daily, but does enjoy it! We try to do at least a walk around the block daily- but she also enjoys running when we go bicycle riding. If she is exercised well daily, it really decreases her anxiety.

When Samira has to be left alone, I crate her. She doesn't like it at all, and will be destructive even to the crate. We have tried putting blankets, toys, bones, etc in the crate and she will go in willingly, but she just cries and cries. We try to take her with us, or not be gone very long.

8.  What do you love most about Samira and what would you miss when she is gone?

I love Samira's heart, she is truly a very, very sweet girl. When she puts her chin on the arm of the couch and just looks at me, it melts my heart! I will miss her very much, she is a pleasure to be around and a wonderful companion.

Samira is looking for her person.  Diligently waiting for them to come and adopt her.  A person that sees her worth and is committed to her with the same unconditional love she will give.

Please consider Samira.  Or share her with one other person that just might tell the ONE right person that has been looking for a dog just like Samira.  Samira is a dog that does not come without challenge, but who's loyalty and devotion is unmatched.
