Sam

Rottweiler cross Sam came into our care when he broke his leg in an accident and his owners couldn’t take care of him. The one-year-old spent a few months recovering and is now looking for a lovely new home. He was quite traumatised when he first arrived and was terrified of being handled but he’s now gaining confidence and he’s learned to be very sociable with people and other dogs. He absolutely loves to play football and has lots of energy so he’d like a fun, active home where he’ll go on lots of adventures. He’d like an adult-only home with a patient, experienced owner with experience of large breeds. He’d like to be the only dog in his new home and his new owners will need to restrict his exercise while he continues to recover. Find out more about Sam online or contact the team at Millbrook Animal Centre, in Surrey, on millbrook@rspca.org.uk.
