Sam
Sweet Sam is very confused about the recent turn his life has taken. He was adopted from an Alabama shelter as a young pup and has lived his life with the same family. Unfortunately, their lives took an unexpected turn and Sam found himself back at the shelter.
Our volunteer photographer fell head-over-heels for Sam! She shares, "He trots around and runs so adorably! He has short legs, but I swear he can cover some ground! He’s friendly and is very interested in other dogs at the clinic. We were outside in the rain and he let me know he’d rather be out than in even if it’s not very nice outside. :) I would say he has a uniquely sweet personality. He likes to play and picked up a toy, but he also likes to observe what others (humans and dogs) are doing. He has expressive eyes and appears to be quite intelligent. He was sad when I had to put him back in his kennel and I imagine he simply wants to go home."
Before they left him back at the shelter, Sam's family told the staff that he loves a soft bed and a spot in the sunshine. He loves soft squeaky toys and is good with dogs, cats, and children. The family told us that he is both house-trained and crate-trained. Sam's size is ideal for just about anyone, especially those folks who are finding they want a smaller dog as they get older and cannot pick up a 90 lb dog. He would be a great dog for first-time dog owners or even for folks living in an apartment. He is perfect for anyone who wants a loving companion by their side!
Sam is 6 years and 9 months old and weighs around 30 lbs. He has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, is neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped at the shelter. Sam has been given a Proheart injection which provides 6 months of heartworm prevention. He appears to be a mix of the short-legged variety, possibly Dachshund or Corgi, but whatever it was that went into his DNA, it produced one adorable doggy!
Sam-a-lama from Alabama will be headed north in early-to-mid March to be directly adopted. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl to be considered to adopt this adorable golden-hearted fella. If you are not yet approved, visit our website to fill out an application.
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to take on whatever comes with the dog. It is up to YOU to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue.
