Sampson

For inquiries email [email protected] Fee: $850 Location: Hopewell, VA Things to consider when applying to adopt Sampson: -6 month old miniature schnauzer -roughly 15 pounds -very high energy -good with people, so far -becoming barky, probably not be a good fit for an apartment or townhome  -good with resident foster family’s dogs (ages 7 and up)  -adopter and dog will be required to complete basic manners/training to complete adoption -priority given to applicants with fenced yards, but not required with proper walking -he saw an eye specialist and had corrective surgery for a condition called hairy dermoid Eye surgery was completed for June 24th, he will need a check up by Sept 24th with an eye specialist, then follow specialists recommendations. But no lasting effects. Sees normally. Sampson is doing well in foster care. He has grown a lot. He has almost doubled in size and gained about 4-5 pounds since arriving in rescue. He weighs approximately 15 -18 pounds and is almost fully grown.  He is polite to his older foster siblings. He was respectful of the doggy guest foster mom kept for a friend to vacation. He has taken to leash walking very well. He is VERY food driven. He should be easy to train. Sampson will thrive in an active home. He will need multiple walks and mental stimulation daily to prevent unwanted puppy behavior. His potty manners are progressing. A fenced yard would be a plus. He LOVES to run and play but it would not be a substitute for walking him.  We are very surprised this little guy has not been snatched up by now! He is a very affectionate, smart little guy!
