About dogs named Samantha

The following are 10 profiles of dogs named Samantha from our database of 40 dogs with the name Samantha.

• “Sam is a very smart and goofy girl who is in training to be a service dog. She gets the zoomies a lot and deserves to get off the leash time to work on training and not worry about dog park issues. She is loving towards cats, dogs, humans and is truly one of the best dogs I have ever had.“

  — Rhiannon M.

• “I am the Queen Bee. I love to show my little sister how fun the toys are.“

  — Ashleigh D.

• “Sammie is a female miniature schnauzer that is up to date on her vaccines. She is a silly girl that loves to play.“

  — Jennifer E.

• “Beautiful, friendly red tri border collie who loves frisbee and ball with a very passive personality.“

  — Rhiannon M.

• “Sammy is a sweetheart who is 1.5 years old. We are working on socialization training and getting her wiggles out!!“

  — Katie H.

• “I’m the best girl who loves humans. I’ve never hurt other animals but I don’t really care to be around them. I do like puppies! Puppies are fun! I also enjoy adult dogs who have low energy and just want to hang out.“

  — Linda D.

• “Hello I am Samantha!! I am a scaredy-cat.. I mean scaredy-dog. I am afraid of all sorts of loud noises and new experiences, and prefer the comfort of a human being rather than a fluffy companion. Well, except my brother, Loki. Loki and I are only nice to each other! I love being my baby brother's "ears," for him, and it's super fun to boss him around, too! I love running around and being chased, especially when I pretend like I'm running away from home. Hehe!“

  — Sam W.

• “Samantha is just the BEST girl. We adopted her in 2015, when she was 2 years old from Palm Beach Animal Care and Control. We heard the first 2-years of life were rough for Samantha, but we like to think we’ve made these last 8-years pretty great for her. She loves car rides and goes everywhere with us. Her favorite trips are to Ft. Pierce, where she likes swim in the ocean and greet all the nice people downtown. She also enjoys “pup cups”, walks around Indian River State Park, Kongs and being the center of attention.“

  — Christy C.

• “Hi! I’m Samantha. I’m so excited to get to explore and play with my little sister in private and fun new places!“

  — Lauren L.

• “Samantha is very shy, but loves small dogs. She goes from being timid to a lunatic, if you throw a ball.“

  — Britt X.

About the author

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development. David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners. Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature. David is based in Salem, MA.
