Critter Details

Coming Soon: Meet Sam! Hi there! I’m Sam, a wise and loving 15-year-old dachshund mix who’s still got some pep in my step! I joined DARE in March 2025, and while my foster family and I are still getting to know each other, here’s what we’ve learned so far about me: I’m 21 pounds of pure sweetness and good with other dogs, older children, men, and women. I’m both house-trained and crate-trained—I actually love napping in my crate; it’s my cozy little retreat. I may be missing a few teeth, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying food—it’s one of my favorite things! I’m easygoing and laid-back, making me the perfect companion for a calm and loving home. When I got to my foster home, I showed I’ve still got it by confidently finding my way up the ramp and claiming my rightful spot on the sofa. I’m still settling in and getting my bearings, but I already know I’m ready to share all the love and snuggles I have to give. If you think I might be the perfect addition to your family, don’t wait—submit your application now! My forever home could be with you. If you know that I am your forever pup, please fill out an adoption application at https://daretorescue.org/adoption-application. Don’t forget to put my NAME on your application!If you cannot adopt me but would like to help DARE pay for my care before I am adopted by my forever family, donate online at https://daretorescue.org/donation or send a check made payable to DARE to:DAREPO Box 21161Tampa, FL 32210     Even if you do not see a dog that matches what you’re looking for, you may fill out a no obligation application at https://daretorescue.org/adoption-application and we will work to find a match for you. We receive dogs into foster care frequently, so it is impossible to have every available or soon-to-be-available dog on the website.
