Meet Sam, a magnificent 5-year-old, 90-pound German Shepherd mix who’s ready to melt hearts all over again! ❤️ This darling boy has had quite the journey. He was rescued from a cramped kennel where he spent nearly 24/7, longing for the love and affection that every pup deserves. Life threw him some curveballs when his rescuers could no longer provide a forever home, but thanks to their loving attentiveness, we know all about this fabulous fellow’s past! Sam might take a little time to warm up to new faces, but once he does, oh boy, watch out! This pup is a bundle of joy and affection; every adventure with him is filled with fun and wagging tails! He adores being the center of attention and thrives on being talked to. And let’s not forget those treats—he's totally motivated by them! 😍 What’s more, this charming boy has fantastic recall when he trusts you fully and is a superstar at basic commands! This gentle giant is already house-trained and knows when to enter a kennel, though, in his heart, he longs to free-roam—because let’s face it, who wouldn’t prefer the great outdoors to a kennel? And the best part? No counter surfing or begging! 🙌 What a polite pup! When it snows, you better believe you'll see Sam zooming around like a fluffy tornado! 🌀 He can’t get enough of catching snowballs and jumping through shovels of snow thrown in the air, prancing around in pure happiness! Just picture it—a happy pup hopping around, bursting with excitement, and showing off his playful side without ever jumping up on people! Bonus: Sam has had the pleasure of sharing space with calm cats before, making him quite adaptable as long as they don’t startle him. Isn’t that delightful? This incredible soul deserves a loving and understanding forever home or a temporary safe space where he can flourish.
