Sam

Sam is looking for a husky savvy home that knows the breed and has experience with this breed. He's a new addition to our rescue Guide Us Home German Shepherd Rescue Society (CRA #837147776RR0001). We saw his condition while in a high kill shelter and we knew we had to act fast. Sam's story as we know it...<br/><br/>Sam is approximately 11 months old and was a stray in San Bernadino, California. He happily followed a lady home from the grocery store and she invited him in. She claimed to Animal Control that he was such a happy-go-lucky pup and very sweet. She noticed a very large wound on his throat and at that point she called Animal Control.<br/><br/>Because of the injury the shelter didn't put him on the customary stray/hold and immediately put him on the kill list. I tagged him 10 minutes before he was set to be euthanized. <br/><br/>Fast forward, Sam is here on Vancouver Island and is learning a whole new life. It's evident he's had no training. I'm working on basic commands and although we're progressing, it's a slow process. He's completed group adolescent classes and has had a few private training sessions. This pup loves to learn and he's smart.<br/><br/>He's had all of his vaccines, I did a blood panel on him to get a baseline, fecal test, heart worm test and he's neutered. He's a playful boy and loves bouncing around with my 2.5 year old female and 9 month old tri-pod. The odd dog has been in his presence and he obviously didn't get a good vibe so he stood tall and made a gut noise. No snarling or lunging....just a gut noise.<br/><br/>Sam is crate trained and sleeps in his crate any time I'm not at home. He is not potty trained so that is being worked on. He may have been an outside dog that just went potty where ever he stood. He's never soiled his crate. When he's in the house hanging out I put a belly band on him. I have a dog walker that takes him out weekly for an hour walk and he thinks Sam is a fabulous dog.<br/><br/>He's 61% Siberian husky and has some of the husky traits, such as being chatty and howling if he's in his crate and he thinks he's missing out on something with my dog. He doesn't have a full on howl, it's more of a low croon. He runs very fast on my property and is very inquisitive about everything. Husky's tend to be escape artists and so far he's not tried that but then he's with my dog a lot. He can be mischievous if left to his own accord.<br/><br/>Sam is personable and he's very sweet and affectionate. He's a medium size dog of 50 pounds and I doubt he will get any bigger. He needs a home where basic training will continue and a definite secured fenced yard and be an inside dog. While he's learning his new environment and rules, Sam would need eyeballs on him at all times. <br/><br/>If you are interested in this youngster or have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
