My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Sam is a good boy, young and energetic. He can be a bit on the skittish side most times and is a barker around strangers. He scares very easily. We are a family of four, the youngest being 5. Sam is great with our toddler, but he doesn't understand how big and strong he is. When we adopted Sam, he was said to be a terrier mix and would be a smaller size dog. He's a bit bigger than that, weighing about 45 lbs. Larger than dogs we have owned in the past. Due to our financial situation, we could not purchase and install the fence for the yard we had planned for or pay for help in training Sam. It has not been easy to give Sam the attention and exercise he needs. He's a good boy when inside, he is a cuddler and loves being around people. He needs more time outside and on walks. We love dogs, and Sam is a good boy and could be a great dog with the proper attention and training. I want him to have his best life, and sadly I don't think that is with our family :(
