Owner Info:  Sammy is a very handsome and very happy terrier mix with diabetes and cataracts.  He has one ear up and one ear down!  His owner has recently passed away, and a very good friend of his owner's is trying to find him (and the other dogs and cats), new homes.  Sammy is diabetic and requires two insulin shots daily.  He is housebroken and leash trained and good with both other dogs and cats.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression.  He has never bitten or snapped.   His caregiver writes, "He runs and plays like a puppy!   He is extremely friendly and happy just needs a good home with a little extra attention".  Besides the diabetes and cataracts, she notes that he seems to be in good health.  Sammy is still living in the owner's home, and his caregiver goes there several times a day to check on him.  She says, "Sammy can only stay in his current home until it is sold for estate purposes. July/August", and she adds, "He's extremely lovable/playful and energetic."
