#A5567741 Sam is a demure 1 year old golden spayed female Pharaoh Hound mix who was surrendered by her owner to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on July 17. Weighing 44 lbs Sam is a smart and attentive girl who is a little shy on first meeting. She’s intimidated in the noisy shelter environment and doesn’t know why she’s here, but once she trusts her handler Sam’s gentle personality shines. She will offer her paw and walks pretty well on leash. With other dogs she is tolerant and non reactive, but in her kennel Sam doesn’t show well as she’s defensive, just trying to hide. This sensitive girl needs out of this busy place and into a home where she can relax and put this experience behind her. Sam also needs some good nutrition as she’s a bit underweight, so getting lots of treats while she’s getting basic training will be totally fine for her. The shelter is requiring that any kids in the home are middle school aged or older, since small kids might not understand her need to go slow and take a little time to meet new people. With a patient kind person to show her she’s safe, Sam will blossom into a big hearted, loyal and devoted girl for a lifetime of love.
