sammy

Sammy is an handsome oaf of a German Shepherd estimated around 1 year of age. Sammy was a stray so we have no history or past beyond his arrival at the shelter.   Sammy is an energetic, bouncy boy who is all legs and overgrown puppy. He loves people and is a social butterfly happy to soak up all the attention you have to offer. Sammy is a generally goofy dude whose body moves significantly faster than his brain - to be honest, I am not sure his brain is ever caught up. Sammy might not be the brains of the operations but he brings enthusiasm to everything he does. Sammy has been around children 7+ years of age and adores them. However, he is a big, bouncy dog and would do best with kids that are comfortable with large dogs.   Sammy is pretty ignorant when it comes to other dogs but is slowly but surely figuring it out. He can adjust to new dogs and is learning how to play but it can be a rough start. He is pretty sure the appropriate way to greet new canine friends is with a body slam.... It doesn't often work in his favor but under the guidance of some very patient resident dogs he is figuring out some better communication skills. Sammy would do well in a home with other dogs given the guidance and patience of a slow introduction. He certainly loves having someone to run with in the yard but would be just as happy accompanying his human on jogs or hikes.    Sammy is a sweet dude who is seeking a family that will give him the training, guidance, and adventure a rambunctious young Shepherd needs.
