Meet Sammy, a big, handsome German Shepherd mix with a goofy heart, playful personality, smart mind, and just enough stubbornness to keep life interesting. He has been waiting three years—1,095 days—for a family to choose him. Sammy is currently in a boarding facility in Conway, Arkansas.
Ideal Home
Sammy would thrive with a family that can provide:
- A secure fenced yard for stretching his legs, exploring, and playing
- Older or school-aged children who are less likely to be accidentally bowled over by his enthusiasm
- Consistent boundaries and guidance
- An active companion for errands, weekend outings, and road trips
He enjoys people, stays well in the yard, and is not destructive or prone to digging holes.
Ongoing Health
Sammy's medical history and health testing details are not provided here.
Training & Support
Sammy learns quickly and responds well to clear boundaries. He previously had indoor marking habits, but stopped marking after about three weeks. He responds well to correction, and consistency has made a tremendous difference. He is an excellent car rider.
