POW! Sam Is Sweet, Fun And Full of Energy!
“If you get to thinking you’re a person of influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.”

His tail wags the minute he sees you, while his back end swivels in rapid motion, almost seemingly unattached from the rest of his body. As he propels himself forward into the room, it’s easy to tell he has set his sights on coming to meet you and nothing is going to slow him down.
His name is Sam and he’s a 9-month-old Pit Bull Terrier-mix with the energy level of a Category 5 hurricane. Before you know it, he’s thrown himself into your lap, tongue at the ready to lick your face.
If Sam’s active levels were measured on a scale from 1 to 10, his number would definitely be off the charts. Combine that with his sweetness range and you now have the perfect recipe for a puppy with an addiction towards getting as much attention as he can.
Sam will need lots of training and direction from an experienced owner in order for him to earn his good citizenship award. Other dogs don’t seem to bother him, but it is very important that he continues getting socialization in this area, as well.
Sam needs a forever family willing to see his incredible potential as the superstar dog he is destined to become.
