Sam is a 6-year-old, 85-pound affectionate and deeply loyal dog who forms a strong bond with his person. He loves to cuddle, be close, and is happiest in a calm, structured environment. Sam enjoys walks though he can still pull at times. He benefits from regular exercise and mental stimulation to help him stay balanced and happy. Sam requires a very specific home to be successful. He must be the only pet, no dogs or cats, and should not be placed in a home without children. Sam can be cautious and sometimes reactive with new people, as he is very protective and forms strong attachments. Sam is strong-willed, and needs an experienced owner who can provide consistency, boundaries, and a low-stimulation environment. He is a sweet, devoted companion in the right setting, but he is not a fit for every home. His ideal match is someone patient, experienced, and able to give him both the structure and outlet he needs to thrive.
