Sam(On Trial 25/10/14 ~ German Shorthaired Pointer

Sam is a German Shorthaired Pointer who looks and acts much younger than his 8 years of age. He bounds around the back yard and loves to chase and retrieve thrown toys. He is intelligent, energetic and affectionate. He is always ready for a pat and a cuddle and loves getting pats from the kids next door. German Shorthaired Pointer is a breed we rarely get in rescue so he is very special. He is very handsome with soft, liver coloured coat.

Like many rescue dogs, Sam has had a rough trot. He may cringe or run away from a harsh word or an inadvertently raised arm. Sam was rescued by the rangers. He deserves a much better life in his new home. He has some warts and calluses, but these are just cosmetic and he is of good health.

Sam would be best suited either as a single dog, or with a female dog. He walks well on a lead, and loves a trip in the car. With his energetic spirit, he would make an excellent walking or jogging companion.

Sam is housetrained, comes when called, and responds quickly when asked to “sit”, and sometimes to “lay down”. Sam sleeps either in our laundry, or in a kennel outside. He will bark at scary things in the night, but is otherwise generally very quiet. Sam is a loveable dog and will make a great friend.
