Sam
♂Basset Hound
Sam’s story started with a lifelong wish. Our son had always dreamed of having a Basset Hound, and in 2024, that dream came true when Sam joined our family. The two quickly became best friends, and Sam has been a special part of our family ever since. When our son moved out on his own, we just couldn’t imagine life without a Basset Hound around, so Carli joined the family! What started as our son’s dream turned into a love for these sweet, goofy, big-eared pups that we’re excited to share with other families.

Personality
Sam is a sweet, gentle lover who prefers affection over any kind of conflict, but his calm demeanor is packed with some highly entertaining habits. Most notably, he is a dedicated television connoisseur who has happily watched the entire series of Cheers from start to finish. When he isn't tuning into his favorite sitcom, Sam is an expert negotiator for snacks: the moment food appears, he will eagerly offer you his paw as a polite, irresistible trade for a treat.
Favorite things
Sam is a lover, not a fighter! His favorite things include giving paw for a treat, soaking up praise, and making everyone he meets fall in love with him. Sweet, gentle, and full of affection, Sam has a way of making everyone feel like his favorite person. He’s the kind of dog who never meets a stranger and somehow manages to steal everyone’s heart! He also loves snacks, belly rubs, and watching TV — he has watched the whole series of Cheers.
Named after Sam Malone, the owner of Cheers and former Red Sox relief pitcher. We're pretty sure he'd approve of the ears.
