About Sammy

Lab / Pit Bull
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Sammy is a young super mutt who was born into Brookline's care when his mom, Nora, a labby looking mix was in foster care with Brookline. Sammy, along with his six litter mates were adopted out at 8 weeks old. Sammy was adopted by first time dog owners and at 11 months was returned to the rescue due to training issues. Sammy is loving, funny, entertaining and playful but is independent, has a strong willed mind of his own, and doesn't necessarily have a high drive to please, and can be slow to trust a person's intentions.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 He needs someone that will prove to him, through time and absolute consistency, and positive reinforcement training, that you mean what you say so he will respect and love you.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 Sammy still needs continued refinement of what he has learned over the last 4 months in foster care, but he is ready to find his furever home that can meet his continuing training and activity needs.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 Sammy would do best in a home with a confident, experienced owner with no children who can take charge and is home more often than not.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 A large piece of fenced (invisible or physical) property that is in a quiet, low activity area is optimal so Sammy can roam and explore the yard at his leisure. Sammy can burn off a lot of mental and physical energy roaming and sniffing, and just loves spending his time outside. Sammy can be a challenge because he is very smart and has the inclination to use his intelligence in clever ways, and he absolutely knows when you are trying to trick him and doesn't fall for it, except maybe when it comes to ice or American cheese!��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 :) He is definitely food motivated which makes training easier.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 Sammy's need for mental stimulation is as equal as his need for physical exercise.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 Both activities help him settle, take a good nap and be the best companion through out the day.��%BD��%BD%BD%A0 Sammy would definitely enjoy having a job or train for scent trial activities. Sammy is a great dog that deserves to find just the right forever home so he can live a long, happy and carefree life full of exploration of the outdoors and loving his people.
