Sam's fosterer writes...
Although you may not like Green Eggs and Ham, I promise you will love Sam I am!
And Sam likes everybody!! In fact, anybody who adores an affectionate, teeny kissing machine, that likes to snuggle under your chin and give you soft kisses, will absolutely adore Sam!
Sam is a perfect package of fun! He can run and tumble with his other four foster brothers and sister, who are double his size. Within a few minutes, this little fire plug will curl up on his doggie bed and take a long, quiet nap.
Sam loves playing in the yard or going for a walk, but most of all, he loves his family and other friendly dogs of any age and size He will often come up and check to see if you or one of his doggie siblings are free to cuddle him or play for a few minutes. And if a new friend happens to reject him at first, he will quickly charm him with his genuine interest and desire to please.
So, you may not like Green Eggs and Ham, but this easygoing lover of all foods, friends, and fun will make you a true fan of Sam I am!
If you are interested in adopting Sam, or any of our other adoptable pets, please fill out a no-obligation application at pgspca.org/adopt.

If you are interested in Sam, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application (http://www.pgspca.org/adopt/online-adoption-application/).
Sam is NOT expecting to attend the next adoption show,
June 9th at the Calverton PetSmart,
although there's always a possibility that plans will need to change at the last minute.
NOTE: We are an all-volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of
our animals are in foster homes. Due to our requirement for a home
visit, we generally only place animals within an hour's drive of
Washington, DC. Questions can be directed to pgspcavol@gmail.com.
