Sam - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Stephenville, Texas

Sam and his sister, Pepper, were found as strays in the county and taken in by a wonderful family who gave them a safe place to land. Unfortunately, due to changing circumstances, they're now looking for loving forever homes.
Sam is a friendly, active boy who gets along great with other dogs. He does not do well with cats or livestock, so he'll need a home without them. He is comfortable in a crate, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys car rides, making him an excellent companion for adventures.
Because Sam hasn't spent much time living loose inside a home, he may need some help with potty training and adjusting to indoor life. With consistency and patience, he should settle into a routine. He also needs a secure yard and supervision when outside, as he's been known to jump fences if given the opportunity.
Sam is neutered and fully vaccinated. He is pending a microchip and heartworm test.
If you're looking for a loyal companion who's ready for a fresh start, Sam is hoping to find a family that will give him the love, guidance, and forever home he deserves.
