SHEP is a black and white collie cross who came to the Manchester Dogs' Home on August 13, 2002.

He was brought in by the Oldham Dog Warden after being found wandering in the Chadderton area.

Sam is a very lively and playful dog and requires plenty of exercise and would enjoy interaction with his owner i.e. agility training.

Therefore he would be unsuitable for a family who are at work all day. Shep will fetch a ball.
