Sam - Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound Dog for Adoption in South Burlington, Vermont

Meet Sam!

Take one look into Sam's beautiful brown eyes and you're bound to fall in love! This big beauty came into our care when her previous owner began to experience health issues and could no longer care for her. She has been an extremely loved and well-socialized dog, and would be a wonderful addition to any family.

Sam is the definition of a gentle giant, but is totally unaware of her large size (she may knock an unsuspecting friend over with her enthusiasm!). While she is always adventure-ready, Sam is just as happy to spend lazy days watching movies and cuddling on the couch.

Sam is...
Affectionate, social, and a friend to all!
A big fan of car rides
Gentle, goofy, and loving

Dogs: Sam loves playing with other dogs, and might enjoy sharing her home with a canine friend.

Cats: Sam has never been around cats.

Children: Sam has lived with children, but would knock over smaller kiddos so she is more suited to a home with kids 10 and up.
