Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We will consider families to adopt Nash who:
1) Live in Colorado / possibly Wyoming area.
2) Submit a completed DSR Adoption Application (download a copy at: http://denversamoyedrescue.org/dsr_application.htm)
3) Preferably have no other dogs, and no cats
4) Live in a home with a secure, fenced backyard.
5) Will be able to continue his grooming needs** and provide for his medical needs***.
Samoyed. Male. Neutered. 3 years old. 67 pounds. Medium size (but needs to go on a diet and more exercise to lose some of his winter weight). Medium activity level. Indoor/Outdoor. Current on physical exam and vaccinations. Microchipped.
Nash (short for Nashville) is a very happy go-lucky, friendly, beautiful Samoyed, who has many wonderful qualities including:
1) Crate trained including taking naps in the crate with the door open.
2) Knows basic obedience commands including sit, down, stay, wait, heel (trained to heel on the right side) and "aught" (meaning no).
3) **Is accustomed to being groomed every 2-3 months (including bath, fully dried using dog blow dryer (not a cage dryer), fully brushed/combed, to manage his dense, neutered coat, plus trim toenails and feet).
4) Walks comfortably on a lead.
5) Rides comfortably in the car.
6) Sleeps indoors at night in his crate and is crated when family is away.
7) Dog door trained.
8) Has enjoyed playing with other dogs his same size or bigger, at a boarding kennel with well-supervised doggie day care.
Nash is a typical Samoyed that will dig in the yard, chews on branches/bushes when bored, and will bark at neighbors or dogs walking by the house.
Nash is being surrendered by his owner because he is becoming more territorial with his housemate, a smaller lab mix female, and the owner feels they would both be in a better situation living apart.
***Nash has been diagnosed with stage 2 (stage 1 is lowest and stage 4 is highest) kidney (renal) disease. Nash's prognosis is he will live many good years to come if his disease is managed and monitored properly. To manage the disease the veterinarian has recommended feeding Royal Canin Prescription Renal A formula food (Cost approx $68 for 18 pound bag), and monitoring with blood work tests every 6 months (Test cost approx $75) and perhaps urinalysis test (Test cost approx $20). At some point he may require medication (high blood pressure meds like Benazepril and/or a phosphate binder (Phos-Bid)) but neither are terribly expensive drugs.
To be considered for adopting this special boy, a DSR adoption application must be submitted first. The adoption application can be found at this link: http://denversamoyedrescue.org/dsr_application.htm
