Samantha

My story

Location: Dayton, OH Food: Royal Canin Ultamino Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Rescue Profile: Meet Samantha – The French Bulldog Diva with a Heart of Gold Name: Samantha Breed: French Bulldog Sex: Female Age: Approximately 2 years Coloring: Striking Merle – a true show-stopper with her marbled coat of silvers, greys, and hints of tan Status: Spayed and ready for adoption Background: Retired breeder, now learning to live the sweet, spoiled life she always deserved Samantha may have spent the first chapter of her life as a breeding dog, but don't let that past define her—she’s writing a whole new story now. And much like her namesake, Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, this girl is bold, fabulous, and learning how to own her independence with flair. While Samantha the Bulldog may not have a designer wardrobe (yet), she shares the same magnetic charisma. She turns heads everywhere she goes—not just because of her unique and dazzling merle coloring, but because she radiates charm. Whether it's a wag of the tail, a loving head nudge, or her signature "polite howl" when she's feeling a little left out, she has a way of drawing people in. She doesn’t bark demandingly; she just wants her people to know she misses them—and isn't shy about saying so in her own sweet way. This resilient girl has survived a tough past, but her spirit is unshaken. She’s affectionate to her core and is learning that love is something that can be freely given and received. She's a champion cuddler, happiest when curled up next to her humans. Whether you're reading, working from home, or binge-watching your favorite show, she just wants to be near you—preferably with one paw resting gently on your leg. Samantha has a delightful quirk: she adores collecting toys. Plush squeakies, rubber chewies, crinkly ones—you name it, she’ll gather them all like tiny treasures. She gently hoards them in her bed or crate and treats each one like a precious prize. It's her way of creating comfort in a world she’s still getting used to. Friendly and outgoing, Samantha makes fast friends with neighbors and visitors alike. Her natural sociability shines through, and her quiet confidence is growing by the day. That said, she’s still navigating life outside of the breeding operation, and she’ll need a patient, understanding family who can continue to guide her with gentle structure and encouragement. She’s learning that it’s okay to explore, to make choices, and to feel safe in a loving home. Ideal Home: Samantha would thrive in a calm, loving environment with humans who are often around and happy to include her in daily life. She gets along well with friendly dogs and could do well with respectful children. Continued positive reinforcement training will help her blossom further and build the confidence she's just beginning to discover. In Samantha’s Own Words (if she could speak): "I’m a lover, not a fighter. I’ve seen the hard side of life, but now I’m ready for belly rubs, soft blankets, and a toy collection worthy of a queen. I promise to be your most loyal companion—as long as you let me sleep close and listen when I sing my little song for you." Are you ready to bring this resilient, radiant, and totally fabulous girl home? Samantha is ready to start her new life—with you.
