About Sam 🥕
This guy has really shown how a safe home, good food and kindness can change a little life in a big way.
Re-introducing Sam. He has now been in care for two and a half months, and in that time he has gone from a terrified (but beautiful) man, to now living his best life and full of confidence.
The last remaining of his mates, Sam tolerates being held and cuddled for small periods of time, and seems to enjoy pats on his head. He has taken to the good life. He is thriving in a home where he is an only guinea pig (and has befriended the two very respectful host dog siblings within the home, whom he sometimes interacts with as if they were also guinea pigs). Only the last few days has Sam shown signs of excitement with his popcorn hopping and seeking more human contact. He will continue to grow and trust as the days go on.
His foster family marvel at Sam's antics and his courage to explore during his designated grass time. His chirp and song have a magical way of making you stop and smile at just how right everything seems, and remember that it really is the little things that add up to a greater good.
Sam will gently remind you of dinner time and he is so so very grateful for his leafy green veges, carrots and on the very rare occasion and with the smallest amounts, of either rockmelon or watermelon.
Sam does need a family that is understanding and respectful of his short but successful handling time and a family who will continue to allow Sam access to grass time. This seems to have offered Sam a new take on life.
Sam is located in Terrigal on the Central Coast NSW.
Adoption details
If you would like to express interest in adopting, we ask that you send through some info about yourself, your family and home, if you rent or own (rental agreement required if renting and rates notice required if you own) and what you can offer this gorgeous baby. Our aim is to find the best homes for our babies, not necessarily first in best dressed, so a good detailed application will make you stand out from the rest.
Once we have received your email outlining the above, those who we feel may be suitable, will be sent an Adoption Questionnaire to complete. Your enquiry will then be passed onto the appropriate carer and successful applicants will be contacted via phone.
