My family adopted Sam in January of 2020 and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! When we first met him at his foster parents house we knew he was the dog for us. The foster parents are “dog people” and since we have children 4 and 8 we needed to trust their evaluation of the dog’s temperament. They Were great and explained the different ways they tested him and they were confident Sam would be a good family dog. We came and visited a second time before Sam went to training and the foster parents were so accommodating and helpful! It was a long 12 week wait while he was in training but we loved reading the weekly updates. When we finally were able to pick Sam up it was such a fun day. Sam bonded quickly and everyone in the family enjoys keeping up with his daily training. I even took up running now that I have a new running partner and we regularly go on family walks with Sam. Every step of our experience with RPSM was positive and we really appreciated all of the follow up work to make sure Sam was settling in and addressing any problem that may arise. Sam did great transitioning but its comforting to know program coordinators are willing and able to help. The volunteers do everything possible to make adoptions successful for dogs and owners alike. We struggled with the decision to adopt vs get a puppy especially adopting a one year old big dog with two small kids in the house but It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Sam has completed our family!
Thank you RPSM!
