Sam is a shih-tzu cross jack russell, just under a year old. He’s a friendly and enthusiastic little dog, who loves to meet visitors and play. Unfortunately due to his owner being in a wheelchair his exercise and training have been very restricted, which is why he needs a new home. His ideal new home would be with someone experienced in ‘small dogs with big personalities!’, to help him learn everything he hasn’t yet been taught, as he can be a bit mouthy and excitable due to his age and boredom. He has been around children of various ages but as he is an active young dog he would be best suited to a home with older children. He hasn’t had a lot of experience around other dogs as he’s currently only walked about once a fortnight, although he has stayed at a house with another dog temporarily without any problems, apart from constantly wanting to play!
Sam knows some very basic commands so we think he would be very trainable and would love an active home to keep him busy. He sleeps alone downstairs without any problems and is used to being left alone for a couple of hours at a time.
Sam would benefit from some lead training as he gets so excited going out and has never been shown how to walk calmly. We would love to find the right home for Sam soon as he seems to be getting more frustrated and bored with his current routine and his wheelchair bound owner is struggling to cope.
