My story

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

Sam is a super goofy, affectionate, sensitive, and very eager to please fella. His original adopter returned him due to being reactive towards people, not having much interactions with people didn't do him justice. He is working under a trainer, Sadie's Rules K9 training, to be the best boy he can be. He is no longer reactive and is said to pretty close to perfect. Sam is a social guy that is good with all people, giving his paw as a show of affection. He loves playing with other dogs and being outside. Sam would be best fitted as an hiking/adventure buddy, he has a lot of energy. He was ok with cats and kids in his previous foster home. And loved his stuffed toys. Sam is a very vocal boy, he likes to have his opinion known. He's fully off-leash trained and walks well on leash walks. Sam is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, and housebroken. He chills in place in his crate and is e-collar trained. This good boy is needing a home with a leader that'll understand his needs.
