Character
In November 2025, in a mountainous area of Greece with an altitude of 1300m, tourists discovered Sam: blind, abandoned, and starving. Taken immediately to the vets, Sam weighed only 12kgs; he should be more than 20kgs. The photo is too painful to publish.
Since then, Sam (who we estimate was born in 2024) has been lovingly supported in recovery. He has been wrapped in warm coats, slowly gained weight, found his voice and loves life.
Sam is healthy, currently weighs 20kgs and lives in a private shelter in Greece. Once he has gained a few more pounds he will be neutered and ready to find his forever home.
Sam is an easy-going boy, full of curiosity. He is quiet in his kennel, but outside he confidently explores his surroundings, mapping out his environment. He is accustomed to his blindness and it doesn’t hold him back. In fact it’s difficult to get good photos of Sam as he is rarely still when following his nose and wagging his tail.
Sam is good with people and children. He enjoys being stroked and loves a treat or two. He is happy to wear a collar and has been on a lead but will need further training in this area.
Sam is very good with other dogs - he’s just a happy easy boy.
He is indifferent to the cats at the private shelter - there are far more interesting scents to follow and places to explore.
Sam is a beautiful boy with his huge velvet floppy ears, speckly long legs and his happy wagging tail. After everything he has been through, he deserves to find his happily ever after.

Please note - we do not rehome dogs to families with children under the age of 10.
Type of Home Sought
Sam is looking for a loving home with a garden he can explore. He will need guidance while learning to live in a home and settle into UK life. Sam enjoys the company of other dogs so a doggie friend would be ideal.
