THE Reading Chronicle has launched its Dog of the Month feature with the help from Dogs Trust Newbury.

Each month, we will appeal to dog lovers who are considering adopting a dog and giving it the forever home it’s been eagerly waiting for.

This month’s Dog of the Month is Sam a loveable mix of Collie, Saluki and Greyhound.

At just six-months-old, he’s full of enthusiasm with a zest for life, and loves people, treats and toys.

Claire Rowe, Manager at Dogs Trust Newbury, said:  “Sam is such a handsome chap with a sweet and energetic personality, who would be a perfect addition to an active family. 

“He’s a young dog, who has a lively and fun spirit, and would love to have a secure garden to call his own to run around in. He’s a sociable and sensitive dog who loves being in the company of people and will need to be slowly learn how to enjoy some alone time.   

“As Sam is still a puppy, he’ll need a guiding hand to continue his obedience training which includes how to behave in a home as he’s sadly not had one before. He’s always keen for playtime and treats which is handy when it comes to training. 

“He’s friendly with other dogs and could live with a fellow playful pooch but isn’t so keen on other small and furry friends and felines.” 

If you think you could give Sam his first-ever home to call his forever, please go to www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming to start the virtual adoption process.
