Beagle - Small - Adult - Male - Dog - Sam (JT)
Description
Meet Sam!! Sam is a neutered male, tri color Beagle. He is 3 years old, weighs 26 pounds and blind in one eye. Sam visited the vet clinic 1/12/09 and received his shots with rabies, heartworm tested positive and fecal tested negative. Sam was heartworm treated 1/21/09. He visited the vet clinic 2/4/09. His heart is in good condition with no damage. Sam started Interceptor for heartworm prevention and is having Frontline place on him for flea control. Sam was rescued along with Mabel another Beagle and Clyde a Basset hound from a rescuer in Caddo Parish Louisiana. He was pulled in July 2008 from a shelter. The rescuer was unable to continue to help Sam, Mabel, Clyde and other animals because of vet expenses. Sam sat in the rescue heartworm positive with no place to go and no money for treatment. He made his way with Mabel and Clyde to Texarkana in the dog rescue van 1/9/09. Sam is a very friendly, playful and smart fellow. His one eye being blind does not slow him done. Sam loves other animals and humans. He deserves a home of his own. Sam is potty, crate and leash trained. He would be a wonderful addition to any home. Adoption Donation: $400If you have any questions please email this dog's adoption coordinator: funksarahp@gmail.com If you have any questions or are interested in adopting, please visit our website and complete an online adoption application. http://www.pawsnewengland.com The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering (when age appropriate), heartworm testing/treatment when necessary and includes transportation up to New England ($125.00 per dog). Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located outside of Rhode Island boarded either at one of our vet clinics or in foster care. If a dog is listed as "local, he /she is at one of our foster homes in New England. PAWS of New England is not shelter but a rescue and thus is not funded by any city or state organization - we rely solely on the donations of our adopters to help defray the costs associated with saving these precious lives. We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible. ALL KNOWN INFORMATION IS LISTED HERE. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.
