Sam is a very sweet female Bichon.  Sam because the Good Samaritan that found her thought she was a male.  She was very dirty and her coat was stained and a little matted, so we went ahead and shaved her to start all over.  When her hair is grown out, you can see she is a Bichon.  She is approximately 2 years old.  She is very well-mannered and housebroken.  She is a little shy with new people, but is very affectionate once she knows you are okay.  She gets along with most other dogs.  This dog would make a wonderful companion for a mature couple of a family with other kids.  I think she would be fine with young ones, they just might make her nervous.  Sam is spayed although it looks as if she has had a couple of litters.  She is heartworm negative and up-to-date on all shots.  She is definitely a keeper.
