Sam 07-345 [1]

Sam is a gorgeous, dark-red, 5-year-old neutered male who was surrendered to RAGOM with his brother, Ty.  He jumped right into the truck when I opened the door and laid on the back seat until I starting driving.  Then he sat up and watched out the window all the way home; He likes riding.   

He is a skinny 65 lb guy who should gain about 10 more pounds to be a good weight for his size. When he arrived at his foster home, he met our resident 16-month-old, neutered male Golden and played in the yard after finding a tennis ball. He catches it and drops it when he brings it back.  Sam was full of burrs, dirt, and matted fur, so he got a much-needed bath after getting the matting cut out.  He never fussed during the bath and LOVED getting towel dried.  While being brushed, he kept rolling over to have his tummy rubbed.  He gives kisses and leans into us when we are petting him. What a sweetheart!    

Sam slept through the night on the floor next to our bed.  He ate his food in the morning while our resident dog ate too and he let me pet him while he was eating.  We went for a walk around the block together and they walked like they were best friends!  His former owner must have given him some basic obedience training because he heeled on his leash during the walk and knows how to ‘Come’ and ‘Sit’ on command.

Sam is house trained and just wants to be with us all of the time.  His owner reported that he got along with kids, cats, and other dogs.    

Sam is UTD with his shots and goes to the vet on Thursday for a checkup.

This guy won’t be waiting long for his forever home! 

We’ll post more updates as we learn more about this good-looking guy.
