PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

This is Sammi. She is a sweet 7-8 month old puppy who was hit by a car and left for dead when she was only about 4 months old. The callous person who hit her and didn't even stop, later told some friends about it. 2 days after being hit by a car, little Sammi was still lying in the ditch where she landed after the impact. Her little body was so broken that she was unable to even get out of her puddle of urine, and as a result she suffered urine burns over most of one side of her body. Sammi's pelvis was completely crushed by the vehicle that hit her. The femoral head was broken completely off of the femur, and there were many other fractures to her pelvis. It took 3 seperate surgeries to repair the damage that was done to this poor baby. Many people said that it would be wiser to spend the funds to help other, healthy dogs, and let Sammi be euthanized. But look at her face. Could you make her pay with her life? It is bad enough that this sweet baby laid in a ditch for 2 days, hurting, freezing, and scared. And after all of that, when I went to get her, as much as she was hurting, she still wagged her tail and gave me kisses.
Now that she has had some time to heal, she is fully mobile, and is doing great, although she has a limp, which she will probably always have.! Sammi loves people and is very affectionate. She is a vocal dog and will groan and talk to you while you pet her. Sammi can live a normal life, despite the injuries she suffered. Her only restriction is no strenuous running. She can play with her friends and go for short walks, but should not be expected to go running, hiking, or for extremely long walks.
If you can find it in your heart to give this sweet girl a loving, forever home, please email kelley@adoptastrayrescue.com
