Only a few days later did Maria approach George. She'd discovered a white GSD that was not only adoptable, but also in dire need of a home. The dog had been nurtured from a puppy by a young man who had recently deployed, and his parents chose to relinquish him while their son was away. The senior GSD was in Arizona and was on the verge of being euthanized.
The dog had previously belonged to someone in the Navy, which clinched the deal for George. He informed the Petco Foundation that he had a feeling it was fate.
"She also claimed that Sam's owner was in the Navy and had been gone, leaving him with nowhere to go." A Navy guy who had to abandon his aged dog in order to serve his country? It was fated to happen. Sam and I have the potential to grow old together."
