A while back, I mentioned my father's dog, Sammy, on my blog.  My father passed away in September, and that left his little dog, Sammy, in need of a permanent home.  Sammy was living with me, but he was dog number four.  I knew full well that my finances, time and husband won't allow for that many dogs on anything but a temporary basis. So, I began the search for a new home for Sammy.

Finding someone willing to take him and give him a good home was not an easy task.  Sammy takes medicine to control seizures (works very well BTW), and is a Jack Russel - Sheltie mix.  This mix makes him smart as a whip, but active. To complicate things further, my father never really insisted that the dog learn good manners.  I started working with him right away, and he improved dramatically in just a matter of weeks, but he was still going to need the "right" owner to continue his education and keep him on the right track. 

He did find a home, but was returned in just 2 days.  I was beginning to think that I might never find a forever home for him, and just when I gave up hope, the miracle happened! 

Sammy has been living happily at his new home (number 2) for a couple of months now.  His new owner is a single, retired teacher that has owned both Jack Russels and Shelties in the past.  This lady already had a very sweet, female yellow lab.  This dog and Sammy are great freinds. There is a very large, fence back yard, and Sammy gets to sleep in  the bed- all snuggled up- just the way he likes to!
