Sam the sweet Aidi guardian dog's Story

Meet Sam: big heart, big energy, future big boy.<br/><br/>Sam was rescued from a homeless encampment, and we believe this handsome guy is an Aidi, a guardian breed. Apparently, nobody told him his résumé needs more than “loves everybody” and “available for wrestling.” <br/><br/>Sam is an absolute sweetheart with a rough-and-tumble play style and plenty of enthusiasm. He’s expected to grow into a very large dog, so he needs a family ready to help him turn all that puppy horsepower into good manners.<br/><br/>He has shown no prey drive, loves people, and would thrive with regular exercise, patient training, and a job to do. Walks, adventures, learning new skills—Sam would like a full calendar, please.<br/><br/>Looking for a loving family companion with guardian-dog potential? Sam could be your guy. He’ll need guidance, socialization, and consistent training as he grows. His size and exuberant play also mean thoughtful supervision around little ones.<br/><br/>Underneath all that energy is a sweet boy who deserves a family of his own—and preferably someone who considers “large dog taking up most of the couch” a household feature.
