Guess who is in Northern California! Baby boy Toby!! Thank you Pilots N Paws pilot Karla for bringing him to us. He spent a little time decompressing at long time supporters Paul and Randy's house with their two Sammy boys in Santa Maria until we could fly him north. He is adorable and ready for adoption. Loves other dogs, knows cats and is a typical puppy. He loves snugs, grooming, and just plain adorable. Do you have room in your heart for this little 15 week old boy?

Lodi update.....Thank you all for your prayers. They worked.
All his x-rays came back normal, exam was good. He does have some irritation on his back legs where the mats were most severe shaved out. He is a tough cookie. It took two sedation shots to get him down in order to do the x-rays. But I'm glad we did them. As you can see he refuses to lay down. Loves to cuddle as long as his feet are on the ground. He will fall asleep standing up. We were concerned that a possible hematoma was forming or that there was other issues, but the xrays and all the tests are good. He's just going through normal decompression and transition as he has been trough a lot this past week. He is learning what stairs are and loves to be inside with his people. You are safe now big boy! Time to relax.

Our boy Lodi has been a bit uncomfortable since his neuter. So the wonderful staff at VEG is checking him out in case of a hematoma or other issues coming to light since we got him.

08/20/2024

Wishing Avi Bear a wonderful 11th Birthday! Time for the beach! That smile says it all!

08/19/2024

Our sweet Lodi is now a lion! Due to the severe matting that was very painful to him, we had the vet shave his coat while he was under for his neuter. We don’t ever recommend shaving a Sammy, but in his case it was medically necessary. He is feeling like a new man! And now an SF resident with great foster parents to help him through his transition in knowing a loving family.

Lot's to catch up on! San Francisco Samoyed Rescue has been very busy with medical appointments for our Sammies. We strive to bring a quality of life to all of our dogs and make sure that all are appropriately vetted before adoption. Sometimes that can be very costly with specialists and the bills associated with the ailments we encounter on top of normal spay/neuter, vaccines, exams, blood tests, x-rays, medicine and foster care expenses. It has been a tough couple of months. We currently have two dogs seeing a dental specialist due to Enamel Hypoplasia, another needing TPLO surgery due to a torn ACL, two with UTI's, and one with bladder incontinence (still diagnosing). That's on top of the 3 dogs (Mickey, Sam, and Logan) that are in our permanent foster care program where SFSR pays for all their medical treatments, specialists, for the rest of their life. We couldn't save these precious souls without you, our loyal supporters. Please consider donated to help us continue to help these precious souls to live, and have a quality of life they so richly deserve. Go to https://www.sfsr.org/which-donate to give a One-Time, or Monthly donation today. SFSR accepts Venmo, Paypal and checks. Plus you can click on the donation button on this page. Or become a member and receive our monthly Newsletter with lots of information for you and your best friend plus new dogs, current dogs and alumni Tails!
In the meantime, say hi to New Arrival LODI. Fending for himself on the street, he had parked himself on someones porch for a week. No chip, no one looking for him. Severely matted, dirty, full of sticks, weeds, foxtails, thin and we estimate only 18 months old. Very sweet boy. Currently being medically onboarded.

Emily

FOSTER FOUND! Thank you to all our supporters for your help! Stay tuned for updates on her. Little Emme has had a sad start to her life. We are determined to change that, but we need your help. Foster needed ASAP in the SF Bay Area of Northern CA. She needs a quiet home, no other dogs, children or cats for now. A soft place to land and decompress from the stressful shelter. 1 year old, 15 lbs underweight, intact and looks like her coat was shaved at one time. SFSR takes care of all her vetting and anything else she may need. On the euth list for end of week. We need to get her out of there! Contact SFSR here on FB or [email protected].

POV: You’re seated next to the handsomest boy, who’s a pro cuddler 🥰💛 Our sweet baby boy Winter needs a forever home! This could be you! Winter isn’t even a year old, so his ideal person would be super active. Do you love to walk, run, and/or hike? This boy would be a great buddy on your adventures. He also needs a solid leader who will establish a routine and continue his training. As a puppy who wasn’t given much training, Winter had a lot to learn when he came to us. He’s been doing great in training and just needs a loving family to keep him on track. And in return, you’ll get an amazing and handsome fluffy family member who’s always ready for adventures and snuggles. If you check these boxes and are interested in Winter, please fill out a form on our site: sfsr.org/pre-adoption-form 🤍

Our 1 year old boy Winter is doing great in his training!! He is ready for that loving home to take him hiking, play hide and seek, fetch and give lots of cuddles! Seeking an active family to keep him on his toes. Apply at https://www.sfsr.org/pre-adoption-form

Oooooo Jack! Where have you been? A good Spa day, fresh food and water, eye medicine and a good nights sleep tonight. We’re so happy your back!

DATE CHANGED!!! SEPTEMBER 30! Save the date! We’ve secured Oak Hill Park in Danville (East Bay) on SEPTEMBER 30th for our next annual SFSR picnic! This video is from our last picnic, pre-pandemic, when we were working on taking our group photo 😁 So much fun! We had 60 Samoyeds in attendance! We hope you and your pups show up to join us this year and support SFSR 💛 We’ll have a BBQ, potluck, raffle, grooming demos, and much more!

From the minute alumni sweetheart Ghost met his sister Sugar, they immediately hit it off and started playing. It’s been over a year that he’s been with his forever family, and these cuties are still playing like this every single day! Our hearts are so full knowing Ghost is exactly where he was meant to be 🤍

New arrival Jack Jack is looking for a savvy foster. He's a very sweet and smart little boy. He is suspected to be blind in one eye but does very well. We will be taking him to our eye specialist to find out if anything can be done. For now he just needs a soft place to land and feel safe. You can save a life. We have found this process to be extremely rewarding, and we hope you will give it a try. SFSR doggos need you. Apply now! https://www.sfsr.org/foster-form

Mr Mickey is strutting his stuff! Medicated Bath #21. Our sweet Mickey is loving life! Mickey has Sebaceous Adenitis which is a genetic disease that runs in Samoyeds. There is no cure. He sees his Dermatologist and general vet regularly, has prescription medications and weekly medicated bathes. He is in permanent foster care with SFSR, which means we will care and pay for all of his needs for the rest of his life. Did you know that SFSR has 3 dogs in permanent foster care? Mickey, Sam and Logan could use your help. Make an impact in the lives of these dogs every month by sponsoring one of them today. When you make a monthly donation to SFSR you are committing to being there for these Sammies in life’s toughest battles. A donation of any amount can impact a Sammy in need. A $20 monthly donation could provide a full day of food, shelter, ongoing veterinary care, medicine and comfort for one of these dogs. Please help us continue to give these dogs a quality of life while living with a disease they didn’t ask for. Set up your sponsorship today! https://www.sfsr.org/which-donate

Help needed! Our little man Mickey needs a savvy temporary foster beginning May 13 to May 29. His wonderful foster family will be traveling. Mickey needs a calm quiet home, someone who can give him his medicine every day and are hopefully located in the north or east bay. SFSR board members will support you and assist as Mickey needs medicated bathes once a week. Which we can do. It’s takes a village. Please help. Contact Jayne at [email protected]. Thank you so much.
