DOG OF THE WEEK - HELP SAM FIND HIS "FOREVER" HOME

Sam is a 1-1/2 year old Basset Hound - Shepherd mix looking for his forever home. He had a very rough start in life. He came from Southern Georgia where he was found as a stray, malnourished and just skin and bones. Thanks to his caring foster mom, Sam has gained his weight back and is now ready to find his “forever home”.

He is house trained, walks on a leash, loves other dogs, and gets along with cats. Sam has a gorgeous black coat. He is long like a Basset Hound, but has the head of a Shepherd. He has a perfect weight of 43 pounds, is full grown and is short in stature. Sam is a very loving and social dog who will be a perfect fit for any household. Sam is spayed, up- to-date with his vaccinations, and micro-chipped.

For more information on Sam or any of the other dogs available through Home for Good Dog Rescue visit the Home for Good website (www.homeforgooddogs.org), call (908) 598-8212 or email info@hfgdr.org.

A pre-approved application is required for all “meet and greets” and adoptions.

About Home for Good Dog Rescue:

Home for Good is a volunteer-based, 501(c) (3) non-profit animal rescue. We are a 100 percent foster based organization with an office in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Our organization is dedicated to rescuing dogs from deplorable conditions in kill shelters, tending to their physical needs and finding them a new loving home where they can thrive.

At Home for Good, we seek the best treatment for our animals. We provide medical care, training, support and hope. Our dogs are vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. We rescue puppies and dogs that are facing euthanasia. Some require surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs, while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care for respiratory illnesses, skin infections, heartworm treatments, and emergency surgeries. Through our adoption services, these loving animals are given a chance at a fulfilled life.
