Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING **
** SAM IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY **
Once Sam knows you are his person, he will be your devoted side kick.
Samwise (aka Sam) is a handsome young adult Boxer/Malamute/Husky (DNA sequencing available) mix stray for a family to call his own. Sam was abandoned on a rural property. The property owner had him scanned for a microchip and contacted his owners who did not want him back and surrendered him. His benefactor was kind enough to keep him from euthanasia in a shelter and is caring for him while looking to place this lovable young man in his furever home. Sam is estimated to be twenty months old and weighs 68 pounds. Sam is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped (medical records available). Sam has been in the same home for the past three months, but the family is unable to keep him due to other commitments.
Sam is accustomed to being inside and is housebroken (of course he would need to learn the rules at your house.) He is active outside, entertaining himself and those around him by tossing the ball to himself, playing in the sprinklers and the kiddy pool. He enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. Sam is submissive with other dogs and usually rolls on his back when playing. Sam is very tolerant, however due to his size and playfulness, he is best suited for older children. Sam can be initially shy of strangers, but once he knows he’s safe he is confident and friendly, even with delivery personnel such as the Amazon driver and the postal person.
More than anything, Sam loves people and enjoys cuddling on a lap or being brushed, as well as just being in the same room as humans and “watching” them work. Sam may have a prey drive, so a home without cats is recommended. Sam has almost 100% recall when off leash. He is very pack oriented and will not leave on pack walks even when he is off leash. He is also quite an adventurer, loving car rides, kayaking and tent camping. While Sam knows his basic commands (sit, down, stay, come), he tends to pull on the leash. He is attending a seven week training course with his foster mom and would benefit from training with his new family.
If you think your home is a good match for Sam, please email Sue at s2springer@hotmail.com and describe a bit about the home you would provide for this young man.
