Merlin Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Sampson is a very well behaved three year old labrador type. He's tattooed, vaccinated and his owner is happy to pay for him to be neutered. His owner is needing to return to London in three weeks for some serious hospital treatment and for an indeterminate stay. Sampson has been looked after by various people in recent weeks but his owner now knows the score regarding his health and realises that Sampson is going to need a new and caring home with people who people who will love him and make him part of the family which he richly deserves. He's excellent with all other dogs and farm animals - he's scared of cats and birds! He was a rescue pup from Carcassonne I believe and has proved to be very easy to train as he now comes immediately when off the lead in response to a whistle or call, waits for the command to eat his food and is without fault in the house and car - indeed a lovely all rounder. He loves lots of affection and is super good with children. He doesn't have much time as his owner has to be in London by the end of the month. Can anyone help him please? this is the first time I've managed to download pictures without swearing! Let's hope it's a good omen for Sampson![IMG]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab161/squarepeg2010/002.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab161/squarepeg2010/001.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 I forgot to mention, Sampson is near Limoux but his owner would be prepared to travel with him for the right home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Maybe if he were to get him castrated he would have a better chance. That way even if he does end up in a SPA (not Carcassonne, please), he would be able to share his box with either a male or female and so not cause the death of another dog in order to make room.

Merlin Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Had someone mail me off AngloInfo this morning so I've got my fingers crossed - he sounds like such a nice dog and yes, we need to keep him out of Carcassonne so I'm working hard on it!

Rowan Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Anglo Info sounds good. Will get you some info tomorrow, okay? Need to find out who is in danger!Or maybe I should just start with my faves..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Let's just get going on the ones you think will be the easiest/more likely to appeal (I know we love them all but you know what I mean) and that are at risk of course. Whom ever we manage to find a home for will mean one less near the top of the list n'est pas? I am going to go and have a look at how I might get on this guy's webpage when I have a moment later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triciajh Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 What a lovely dog for someone.How much time does he have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 He only has 10 days left and then I fear he will be put into a refuge as the owner would appear to have no choice. I have been frantically trying all avenues for him but no luck so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triciajh Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 He really does not have much time left and he is so gorgeous.Have asked around but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hey! Looks like Sampson will have a home! Lovely lady who works for the Hope Association contacted me through Sue at Poorpaws and says there is a family really interested in having him provided he gets on with their two other dogs - they have just lost their old labrador and Sampson really took their fancy. So I have my fingers crossed that things will work out of the next few days - will tell the ending when I know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Sampson went to his new home with a kind English couple over the week-end and is just loving it! He has found a new friend and they play together all day long! He's been a good boy as we expected so his owner can now leave for London with a light heart knowing that Sampson is happy and will have a lovely life.
