Adopt Sam

Poodle · Male · Senior · 14 years

Sam is a lovely little fella who came to the centre as his previous owners could sadly no longer keep him. Sam is currently being fostered by a member of staff as he is too old to be in the kennels. He is happily living with 4 other dogs and a cat, he gets on very well with them all. Sam is a very affectionate boy and never really leaves your side, he will absolutely need adopters who are willing to let him sit on their knee, curl up with them on the sofa and sleep on the bed. This is what he has been used to for 14 years so we do not want to try and change that at his age. He is a little deaf now so will need understanding adopters. Sam is very good in the house, he sleeps of the time but does still enjoy getting out and about for a walk. He walks well on the lead and is just a joy to be around. Sam is fully housetrained and does not chew. Sam does not like being left on his own at all, he gets very anxious and becomes quite vocal so we are looking for a family who will not leave him on his own. He is much more relaxed when he has other dogs to keep him company so we would prefer him to be adopted where there is an existing dog already in the home. Sam really is a smashing, happy and loving little lad who will make such a loving friend for his new family. He is suitable to live with other compatible dogs, cats and children aged 14 years and over.
