Sweet Sam aced her behavior eval with an awesome pawesome average rating. Please reserve her online or contact a NH rescue for assistance with transportation. Let’s do everything to ensure that this precious pet has a safe and loving home in which to spend her golden years. Make the call for sweet senior Sam! Safe a life. Make a difference.
