BIO: This is sweet little Sam. He is a very young 12yro that is desperately looking for a new forever home. Sam lost his Dad last December, and his Mom, who has been gravely ill in the hospital, passed away this morning (12/3/09). Sam is very well behaved, but will bark. He is used to being in a home with older people, but is good with children and good around cats. Sam is housetrained and crate trained. He absolutely LOVES to play with toys. He is so active it is unbelievable that he is as “young” as he is. Things are really "up in the air" for poor little Sam. The son and his wife don't want him, but the daughter does and she also has major health issues. If we are able to find the right home for Sam she would be perfectly fine with letting him go. Sam just recently had his teeth cleaned, he was bathed and groomed the day these pictures were taken (11/28/09), he is UTD on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, perfectly housetrained. Sam has always been very well cared for and very much loved. Sam is on Phenobarbital twice a day due to being and epileptic, and has been for a while to prevent seizures. This is a very inexpensive medication but well worth the cost and effort. You would never know that Sam was as old as he is and just had his annual wellness blood screen done on 11/19/09 - everything is normal and the vet's note was "Sam's tests look great". We would prefer that he went to a home with a completely fenced and secure yare - but would possibly consider bending our rules if he was never left off-leash when out of the house. Please won't you consider opening your heart and home to this wonderful little guy - he needs you as much as you need him. He is just devastated and can’t understand why his world has been turned completely upside down. He is currently being fostered in Westland, MI, by his long-time groomer, that has known him for years. ** If you are interested in any of our dogs - PLEASE DO NOT CALL - instead please go to our website: WWW.SECONDCHANCEBOUVRESCUE.COM and fill out an online adoption application. ** If you have questions - please email: [email protected] **
