If you wish to rehome a Samoyed, geographical location (within the United Kingdom mainland) should not be considered an issue, as arrangements can usually be made to get the animal to wherever a suitable home is found.

It is always advisable to contact a reputable breeder before considering the purchase of a puppy. Please go to the "Puppy" page on the main Samoyed Association site for further information. Please click here. We have recently been made aware of sellers offering "free" Samoyed puppies on classified advertisement sites such as Gumtree, but charging delivery fees of £150 via COURIER ! Please avoid these scams and only purchase puppies from reputable sources, or even better, consider a Rescue dog from a recognised animal rescue. Samoyeds Needing New Homes 7th March 2010: SIMBA - Is an 11 year old Samoyed, presently in the Surrey area. Simba was re-homed by The Samoyed Association Rescue 8 years ago but unfortunately he finds himself back on our books due to family circumstances changing. If you can give this elderly Samoyed a loving home for his twilight years please call me, Linda Brasier on 01442 877 027. . IMPORTANT NOTICES : Recently male Samoyed was tied up and left (dumped) at one of our Foster homes, near Peterborough. The lady came home to find the dog tied to her paddock gate with a note attached to his collar, it read " My name is Sammy and I am nice..." He was taken to a groomer to get him cleaned up and make him look as special as he deserves. The people fostering him have decided that as he is such a special boy that they will keep him and give him the loving home he needs. So we have a happy end to this story, but the Samoyed Association Rescue NEVER turn a Samoyed away and all anyone needs to do is call one of the Rescue telephone numbers on our Web page. PLEASE if you need help in re-homing a Samoyed DO NOT DO IT THIS WAY, just call and we will do our best to help. Linda and her team would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have called regarding rehoming him. Linda Brasier, Chief Rescue Officer.   UPDATE ON SAMMY - Sammy's original advert on the rescue site read : SAMMY - Is a 4/5 year old castrated male Samoyed. He is microchipped and up-to-date with his injections. Sammy has been in kennels for the last 3 months due to the fact that he had a large tumour on his back, near the end of his spine. The kennels have now had this removed and all is healing well, the tests show all is clear, although understandably he is still a little sensitive around that area. His coat was in a terrible mess but a groomer has now got him back into some sort of decent condition. He seems to get on well with other dogs, but he will need someone who knows the breed. This poor boy has had enough of kennel life and craves the comforts of a loving home with all the care and attention that he deserves. If you can give this boy the life he deserves please call one of the Rescue Officers. December 2009 : Unfortunately, Sammy's cancer has returned and he only has a short time to live. He will be not be open for re-homing. It is with a very heavy heart I put this on our Rescue page. This poor boy has never been loved or cared for the way a Samoyed should have been, abused, passed around with no love in his life. Sammy is going to come to live with me, my husband and Mum and, of course, my Samoyeds. Hopefully we can give him lots of love, care and a sense of belonging in his last weeks of life. Rescue thank the people who enquired about re-homing Sammy. Update - 1st February 2009 : It is with a very sad heart and lots of tears that I have to tell you we lost the battle to keep Sam going longer than expected. When we took Sam into our home and hearts we were told he had approximately 3 to 8 weeks to live. Unfortunately, yesterday, 31st January 2009, Sam lost his battle for life and was put to sleep to save him suffering anymore. I will give everyone that had enqired about Sam a full story on his life with us, but for legal reasons I cannot do it yet. Linda Brasier, Chief Rescue Officer. . .

THE LOVE OF A SAMOYED JAZZIE Jazzie There was a telephone call, could we collect a 10 year old, male Samoyed from the M6 services at Lancaster; "just a short term foster". And there he was; a large, noisy, confused, sticky, evil smelling, toilet brush. He was terribly defensive; it took time and careful handling before he started to trust us. Grooming was a complete anathema to him. My carpets have never recovered from those first few days, while we were trying to clean him up and sort out his bowels!! Gradually we were captivated by this serious and troubled Samoyed and were hoping he would find that really special home he needed. However it became apparent that nobody suitable wanted this 10 year old boy. We couldn't and wouldn't turn our backs on him; so, he stayed. He's an absolute doll, loves being groomed, loves his walks; he's intelligent, loyal, obedient, loves people and is completely trustworthy with all dogs, big or small, male or female. The upheaval at this time in his life has taken its toll. His life is dominated by routine and familiarity; anything out of the ordinary and he starts to panic. Jazzie was never part of my Grand Plan; he's still a work in progress. He is an utterly guileless, frank individual with an enormous enthusiasm for life and doesn't deserve to be abandoned in his Veteran years. It is a privilege to share in his life. So, I sadly have to add; Jazzie was taken from us, shockingly unexpectedly, on Friday 20th June. He collapsed in the early evening: an inoperable massive tumor and internal bleeding. We had to let him go. We still cannot believe a dog could live with us for only 7 months and have such a massive impact on our lives. He was a true gentleman amongst dogs. He touched so many people. It's as if he always knew he was almost an angel. We have no regrets.   Linda Green
