Sammie needs a good loving home. Someone who will work with him to be the best dog he can be. He is loving when he gets used to you. He doesn’t like people or other animals. I don’t have the time to work with him. My husband and I recently adopted a new born baby. Sammie is too much to be around the baby. He is scared of a lot and also barks at a lot. He just needs a lot of love and help. Please help me help him.
