It is also the goal of DSR to help educate the public about the Samoyed breed, to counsel owners who are considering surrendering their dogs to work through their problems so the dog may remain with them, and upon request, to aide law enforcement officials with evaluating bite cases.  DSR also acts as a safety net for breeders who have lost track of a puppy they've  placed, and as another possible source of information for owners who have lost their Samoyed.  All dogs placed by DSR will be spayed or neutered before going to a new home, or a foster home, in order to prevent further overpopulation of the breed.

Why Surrendered

We may not have the Samoyed your are looking for right now but that can change very quickly, so we encourage you to:

• Complete our adoption application and mail it the PO Box listed below. Our process is to first review the approved applicants we have on file. If we determine that a family is a good match for the Samoyed that enters into our program, we will not take the extra step of listing the dog on our web site.

• and/or

• Consider one of the Samoyeds that are located in an area shelter shown below.

Phil

Denver Dumb Friends League

Denver, CO

We feel Phil is a Samoyed mix.  DDFL says he is a Chow Chow.  You decide for yourself.

Our volunteer visited with Phil and this is their feedback:

He is a puppy, looks like a puppy and acts like a puppy!  He is smaller in size, but he will fill out.  He pulls on a leash, doesn't know any obedience commands yet but is food motivated and willing to learn.  He does like to  jump up, but I had LOTS of kisses and slimy glasses by the time our visit ended! 

Very soft mouth taking treats, some soft puppy mouthing on occasion. 

Phil is not thrilled about grooming, but nothing aggressive and nothing that good training can't rectify.  He didn't mind the manicure though!

Very curious, loves toys, lots of energy.   He checked out beautifully when our volunteer performed basic temperament testing on him. 

He will need a strong but kind owner that will provide some boundaries.

He has been introduced to both large and small dogs, male and female, with no negative reaction, just the usual curiosity.   No information on cats yet.

Hi, hi, hi! I'm Sam, a great big, happy, handsome Northern-breed kind of guy! Sam the Samoyed, maybe with some Siberian Husky mixed in ... who knows! I'm about a year and a half old, so I'm done growing on the outside. In fact, I'm over-done and a couple of inches taller than most other Sammies and Sibes! But I weigh only 54 pounds right now and need to fill out some more. As for being done with growing emotionally ... nope! In dog ages I'm still a teenager and full of curiosity and the desire to get out and explore. In fact, if I can, I'll get out and explore with you or without you! See, that's how I lost my last home. So let's not do that again, okay? Start with a tall fence, and if it has a gate then it needs a latch that can be secured, and then mix in lots of time and activities with you! When there's nothing else to do, our breeds like to dig and chew. Face it ... we both need exercise anyway. Wouldn't you like to be out walking a gorgeous guy like me? Chances are that I'll like just about everyone I meet. That's a good thing! Unless you're looking for a big, scary guard dog. Forget that! It's just not in the Northern-breed nature. Kids? Sure! Except that, while I'm still fairly young and bouncy, I'm afraid I might knock over the little ones. Down the road when I'm a little older and more settled there will be no problem with young kids. Cats, rabbits, hamsters, squirrels? Oh, yeah! We love to chase them and catch them and ... and it's better if we're not expected to live peacefully with them. Other dogs? Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to get together and see if it will work out with us being in the same pack. Speaking of which, you and I will need to work on that leader-follower thing. Samoyeds and Siberian Huskies are independent-minded, and sometimes we don't do what you ask because we don't see a reason to! So you'll need to be firm, calm, and have a sense of humor for when things don't quite work out the way you expect them to! People with dogs like us also need to be relaxed about living with fur. My coat may or may not get longer and more like the typical Samoyed's, but it's guaranteed to shed hair that you'll find on your clothes, on your carpet, in your car.Sticky tape and lint brushes will get it right off your nice business suit or black dinner dress. But I'm just saying ... be prepared! Well! Ready to meet? I am Sam. Sam I am! I just may like green eggs and ham! But until I find out, why don't we go for a walk together?

The information listed above is as it appears on the shelter's web site.

We can cannot guarantee that any dog is still available due to the quick turnaround in adoptions.

Please contact the shelter directly if you are interested in adopting these Samoyeds.

Before you adopt a Samoyed, please review these questions to make sure this breed is right for you and/or your family.
