Meet this beautiful boy “Sam” who’s looking for his forever home and live out the rest of his life in a quiet environment.

He’s a loyal, affectionate, and lovable companion who adores being around people and will follow you wherever you go. He loves car rides and is always up for a trip in the car, sits quietly and looks out the window. He has bursts of energy where he loves to play ball, and enjoys spending time with his favourite toys.

However, he is not comfortable around other dogs and can get overexcited and protective when unsure of how to behave. He needs someone who will give him guidance.

Thanks to his ongoing training, he is learning to walk relatively calmly past other dogs with treats and has even made a few doggy friends that he is comfortable to stroll with!  But still needs guidance and reassurance. Sam responds well to calm commands and treats. He can sit, stay, lay down, paw, and other paw.  He is totally house trained and can use the dog door. Sam also loves to cuddle up with you on the couch and he is an excellent little spoon and will stay in bed and sleep with you.  He just adores to be with you!

This sweet boy thrives in a quiet household where he can be the only pet. He is not suited for homes with small children and too much noise, he becomes stressed with lots of people. But will make the perfect, loyal companion for the right family or retiree or someone who is home more often. He deserves a chance to show just how loving and fun he can be.
