Well...

[Linus]

it didn't work out with Sam.

He was so scared at the park that he clung to his mom so I suggested we take him for the night.

As time wore on, he grew more and more possessive of Sean and Scout grew more jealous.

This morning, he bit me when I gently tried to move his paw off of Sean's leg. He didn't draw blood, and I know he was just scared, but I felt he needed a time out in the crate - he tried to bite me again then.

Scout threw a fit every time Sam got affection or his leash was touched.

I just couldn't, in good conscience, say that my family was a good fit for him. He needs to be an only dog, and a friend that visited last week kept saying she wants a dog, so I'm going to see if maybe she would be interested.

Remember Sam is coming from his family and not going through rescue... His mom did say that if they couldn't find a family and rescue couldn't take him they would keep him rather than taking him to a shelter.

I know he's not a bad dog, and Scout certainly wasn't an angel... So I sent my family home with The Dog Listener and Cesar's Way so they can, someday, bring another dog into the house.

I'm so :sorry: that it didn't work out for Sam and your family, but it sounds like you made the best decision. Sometimes things just don't work out like we'd like them to. to you for being such a good rescue :angel7: and wanting what's best for Sam. :hearts:

[Anatresia]

That's sad! I'm sorry things didn't work out! I'm sure he'll find a home that will work for him, and I'm sure your parents will find the right doxie.

Would a female work with Scout?

[Patt]

Sam is such a cutie, I hope it works out with your friend. :pray: and

[Tex]

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out. I know Sam will find the right home and your parents will find the perfect playmate for Scout!
