***Sam is currently located at our rescue in Georgia. He is scheduled to be transported to New Jersey towards the end of February and be available for our adoption event at the Tractor Supply in Ringoes over the Feb. 21-22 weekend. An application for the adoption of Sam should be submitted at socorescue.com (no need to register or login). Questions about Sam and/or our adoption policy should be sent to socorescue8@gmail.com; please do not call the Rescue's number.***

Sam and his seven littermates came into our rescue as owner surrenders and with the help of the Shamrock Animal Welfare League of Dublin, GA. While the owner did keep the mom and dad to these pups, Shamrock assisted the owner with having both spay/neutered. Unfortunately, we do not have any pics of the mom and dad.

While with his former owner, Sam and his siblings didn't receive much socialization and all were pretty apprehensive of people. Since coming to SoCo, our staff has been dedicated to working on helping them overcome their apprehension of humans and they've all made very good progress. Sam will do good in a home with another well-socialized dog or an owner who is experienced, patient and understanding that he may take some time to fully open up once in a new home. Regardless, this friendly, playful fellow should grow into becoming a great friend to whoever is lucky enough to adopt him. 

Sam has now received an update on his annual vaccinations, de-wormed and treated against any possible parasites at proper intervals. His adopter should follow their vet's advice on future vaccinations and such.  He will also be neutered prior to his adoption. Sam will require all of his basic training.
