About Sam
Meet Sam, a 4-month-old male Staffy Cross Bull Arab with a heart as big as his paws. While he's medium-sized at the moment, Sam is destined to grow into a fairly large dog.
Sam has an incredibly sweet personality and adores people. He currently has a calm demeanor, but he also loves to play, especially games of tug and playing with toys. Sam gets along great with other dogs and is always up for a fun romp.
As a puppy, Sam does come with the standard puppy-raising challenges. This includes toilet training, teaching general obedience rules and boundaries, and managing potential destructive tendencies as he grows and goes through developmental phases. However, he's at a perfect age for someone to shape him into the dog they want him to be.
Sam can be a bit timid at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes a real love sponge. He currently spends his days hanging out with the receptionists in the office, playing a bit and then snoozing away the afternoon.
If you're looking for a loving, playful companion who is ready to grow and learn with you, come meet Sam. He'd love to find a loving home as soon as possible.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
