Nominate Your Pet For Scotch Plains-Fanwood Pet Of The Week

SCOTCH PLAINS/FANWOOD, NJ — Meet Sammy! He has been chosen as Scotch Plains-Fanwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Meet Sammy, a 6 month, 12-pound mini Aussie/Border Collie mix all the way from Dallas, Texas. This handsome rescue puppy is adjusting to life in Bridgewater just fine. He loves long walks, people-watching and playing hide-and-seek with puppy treats.

Although Sammy is very smart and has learned many new tricks, his favorite activity is laying in the front glass door sunning himself while watching cars pass. He is adept at fetching a toy, snuggling next to his family members and giving free kisses."

— Joe and Jen Roberto
