 OLD SAM
SAM is an 11 year old golden retriever, and although a tiny bit shaky on his back legs occasionally, he's generally in good health. He was handed in to the rescue by a family who were emigrating and who decided it was better for Sam if they didn't take him with them. He was a great hit with all Sandie's visitors (but especially Lorraine) when he was staying with her before making his trip across the water.
Who could possibly resist that very sad face and those wonderful, soulful eyes?
He came over from Ireland with Honey, Bunny & little Millie and went into foster in the Midlands, being spoilt rotten and loved to bits by Andy & Val. FIRST REPORT FROM ANDY Andy says "Sam's doing just fine. He's settling in well after being a bit bewildered initially, and is enjoying the fuss and attention he's getting (and this was with Val, the cuddler-in-chief, away on holiday for a week). He's eating well, and so will hopefully gain a little weight, as he's such a bag of bones at the moment. My former neighbour is collecting him every morning this week and taking him home for the day, and I collect him on my way home from work. He's having regular, but short, walks, which he loves, and he enjoys playing with his toys in the garden." SECOND REPORT FROM ANDY Andy says "Well, Sam's been here for a week now. He's as lovely as ever, and a pleasure to have around. He was quite thin when he was handed in, but a healthy diet of good food and the occasional treat has started to change that. Sam loves his walks, and playing on the lawn with his toys. He's housetrained, fine to be left on his own for an hour or two, and is great on the lead. He travels well in the car, is fine with other dogs and loves meeting new people, including small children. In short, Sam is a super old boy, who is a doddle to look after, and just needs somewhere to settle down for his last few years." SAM HAS GONE TO HIS FOREVER HOME
