Sam

Meet Sam, a distinguished 8-year-old, 46-pound Shepherd mix with a steady presence and an independent spirit. Sam isn’t looking for constant cuddles or doting attention — what he really wants is a calm, predictable environment and someone who respects his space.<br/><br/>He’s house-trained, healthy, and gets along well with other dogs. He enjoys time spent outdoors, taking in the world at his own pace. Sam requires a fenced backyard where he can relax and roam freely without pressure.<br/><br/>Sam spent most of his life in the same home, and big changes haven't always been easy for him. He can be wary of handling in some situations and has shown he's not afraid to let you know when he’s uncomfortable. For that reason, Sam needs an experienced, adult-only home with no young children. He’s not the affectionate, snuggly type — he prefers to be a quiet companion, nearby but on his own terms.<br/><br/>We know Sam won’t be the right fit for every home, but for the right person — someone who values independence, understands dog body language, and is content with a companion who keeps to himself — Sam could be a rewarding match. <br/><br/>Apply at redbarnrescue.com today if you are interested in meeting Sam!
