Sunny (Songi) came from Ynot Save a Sam Rescue and is doing extremely well.  Fred’s (her new master) Vet was extremely impressed with the thorough paperwork that came with Songi from Korea. Fred and Gizmo (Sunny’s new “boyfriend”) just love her.  She loves them and her big back yard to play in. She enjoys ‘dog parties’ and BBQ’s with…

From Survivor to Thriver– Yvette had already committed to sponsoring & flying a full group of Samoyeds to the USA when a dedicated South Korean Lady dog rescuer pleaded for a very sweet but badly injured Samoyed mixed dog to be a last minute addition so she would not end up sent to the butcher…

I have had the joy of having Samoyeds most of my adult life.  I fell in love with the breed years before I had one, for their beauty and that incredible “Sammy smile.” And then later with my first Sammy Misty, fell in love with her incredible demeanor and the unconditional love and kindness she possessed.…

…when Yvette asked if I could foster a Korean rescue that had just arrived in California for a few days I said sure…  in the back of my mind I knew once she got as far as my house I’d probably never be able to let her go…  and even though I faked it for…

I began my search for what would be my 4th Samoyed.  I was open to finding a puppy or a younger dog to bring into my family.  My last Sam, Yukon, passed away in 2012 at the age of 11.  Being newly divorced and on my own, I was lonely. I really wanted a Samoyed.  I…

We are so happy that we adopted Kona from YNotSaveaSam Rescue!  In spite of a poor beginning in life, he is one of the most loving Sams I have ever had.  He fit into my family and has re-energized my older dogs.  Kona came from Wyoming and was only about 6 months old when we…

A former live-in boyfriend had two Samoyeds, which is how I fell in love with the breed.  After he moved out, my house was so empty that I knew that it was time for me to get my own.  I ran into a gal in town (Bend, Oregon) who told me about Yvette and her…

He was the bundle of energy that you promised. I wanted a dog to pull me on my scooter and on my skis, he certainly was more than willing to do that. He filled out a lot once we’d had him for a while, and I liked to joke that we had adopted a tongue…

I’m sure that everyone has heard the saying, “When God closes a door, He opens a window.”  This is exactly what happened for us last year.  Sadly, we lost our Samoyed Kai to brain cancer.  Although devastated, we were put into contact with Yvette and the story goes from there.  We  adopted not one but…
