Meet Sam! He is delightful with me and my three kids ages 7, 10 and 13. Loves to give kisses, very tolerant, sweet and loving. Very playful. It took him about 3 months to not bark and growl at my husband every time he walked in the room. He has mostly stopped doing that but will still not allow my husband to put a leash on him or give him commands (he will bark and growl). He barks and growls at most strangers, especially when they come to the door and it takes him weeks to warm up to people. He has only warmed up to two other people outside of our family, both women. He is very fearful of men. He will also bark and growl at kids (other than mine) when they look him in the eye or come toward him.
He loves to play, loves the dog park, gets along great with other dogs. He goes to doggie day care 2x a week. He is also a great hiking buddy. Sam is house trained. He still needs to learn to not pull on a leash. We have had a trainer to work with him on his anxiety with strangers. He is ok walking past people but becomes stressed and growls if anyone stops and tries to address him. Ideal home would be with mostly women (if possible) and at least one other playful dog. He would love it if there were more dogs, he loves to play! He would do best with a family who is active. No cats as he chases them. He would also do best if he goes to a family who has the time to manage and supervise him when people visit the house or come to the door. He does best if he is behind a baby gate so he can see the stranger but doesn’t get close. I usually give him treats as well when new people visit.
Included with adoption: Age-appropriate vaccinations, up to date heart-worm preventative, heart-worm test if over 6 months, microchip with registration, and spayed or neutered- if not already, a voucher is provided.
