Contact us through email at : classicpaws56@gmail.com Handsome Male Samoyed Puppy Looking for a Loving Forever Home. Meet this beautiful male Samoyed puppy, a sweet, healthy, and playful little boy who is now looking for a loving family to call his own. We recently received him, along with several other Samoyed puppies, from a breeder whose family is relocating to New York. Before their move, the breeder entrusted us with the puppies and asked us to help find each of them a loving and responsible home where they can be cared for and cherished. This little boy is very healthy, happy, affectionate, and full of playful energy. He loves attention and is looking for a family who will give him the love, patience, exercise, and companionship that a Samoyed deserves. About Him: Breed: Samoyed Gender: Male Health: Very healthy Personality: Sweet, playful, affectionate, and friendly . Current situation: Being responsibly rehomed Reason for rehoming: Family relocation . There are also other Samoyed puppies available from the same group, so if you're specifically looking for a Samoyed, feel free to ask about the other puppies and their individual personalities. Our goal is to make sure each puppy goes to a safe, caring, and committed forever home rather than simply finding them a temporary place. Interested in giving this handsome boy a loving home? Please send us a message with a little information about yourself and the kind of home you can provide. A puppy is a lifelong commitment, and we want to find each of these babies the wonderful family they deserve. There is a rehoming fee.

Story
Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I’m looking to rehome my 6 month old male Cocker Spaniel, Mylo, and I’m hoping to find him a loving and responsible home. Mylo is crate trained and house trained, and he knows several basic tricks. He is a sweet, playful puppy who deserves a home that can give him plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. He will come with his crate and some of his other belongings to help make the transition easier. There will be a small rehoming fee to help ensure he goes to a responsible home and to help cover some of the veterinary expenses he has received. Mylo is not neutered at this time. I’m looking for someone who will treat him like family and is prepared for the time, patience, and responsibility that comes with a young dog. Please message me if you’re genuinely interested and would like more information about Mylo.

Story
Meet Morty!This 6-7 month old tall lanky hound mix pup was surrendered after being left alone very long hours in his previous home. He's an active fun puppy, desperate for attention and loves to play with other dogs and with his human friends. He's 30lbs right now but still probably has some growing to do- we think about 45-50lbs full grown and looks like a taller beagle mix. He's been neutered and updated on shots and is ready for a fun active family to continue to provide the training, housebreaking, exercise, and attention all puppies need. Please submit an application to meet Morty! Primary Color: Tri Color Age: 0yrs 6mths 0wks
