don't know where to turn. I adopted Buzz and Sam from a shelter in Both dogs were to be house dogs but it was
clear when we got home that Sammy couldn't handle the house. As I read on about
Samoyed I see over and over again the words needy, happy now to be the only pet,
thinks he's a 60 lb lap dog. That all describes Sammy. That doesn't work for
our house. He gets along well with other dogs but he appears neurotic at times?
He does not act like any golden I have ever had. I don't know if it's the
neglect/abuse, a factor of genetics or what. Things were ok with Buzz and Sammy outside. I
longed for them to be inside dogs and tried on many occasions to bring them in
and give it ago. Sammy was not housebroken and difficult to train as he took
shame so to heart. If I yelled at Buzz to scold him for chewing shoes (Buzz was
very naughty) Sammy would take the blame. So it was back outside, which was
working. But last Monday, Buzz died suddenly. Now we have a huge problem with
needy Sammy. He can't come in, I won't replace Buzz to have two outside dogs
again and I have no where to take Sammy. He is so lonely. He has been crying
late at night and early in the morning. It's the saddest sound. It's not barking
let me in, let me in. It's empty and sad. He sounds like a lost child,
far away. It's awful. Now the neighbors are starting to complain. We had Sammy in the night Buzz died, I had to
keep a hand on him all night before he would relax. He's beautiful but he needs
work, work my family cannot handle. My husband and I both work, the kids are
teens, we have goats, rabbits, chickens and two house dogs already. Actually
the goats, rabbits and chickens are illegal. Even though we live on one acre in
the country we have been told we need 10 acres for chickens! We area also only
allowed 2 dogs. We got away with 4 because we had a balance, two outside, two
inside. Our neighbor has been threatening to take this up with the township. I have had folks who have wanted Sammy before
because he is cute. We wanted to place him about two hours after we got him
home, but knew he needed someone who understood him, would take time with
him. I don't want to dump him but now animal control is involved. It's been a
week and Sammy's howling is getting much better. But the neighbor is starting
to complain and he called them. I don't know what to do. I talked to animal
control and tried to explain what happened and that Sammy just needed some time
and I was trying to find him a new home. (actually right now, sammy is quiet.
It hits him at dusk and twilight, and sometimes once or twice in the middle of
the night, doesn't that break your heart) I just don't know what to do and I don't want
animal control to come and take him away. He is neutered, was just tested neg
for heart worm and currently on heart worm meds, and just got his rabies
update. He is licensed also for Take a look at his pictures, forward him to
whomever you can but please give Sammy a chance at someone to keep him forever.
