Sam Clontz

I’m not just a Toy Poodle named Sam. I am Top Dog on the Debbie Clontz Realty Team in Midland North Carolina.  As head of security, I keep the team safe from squirrels, ducks, and other perpetrators.

My story is much like a soap opera with a lot of turns. When I was just a puppy I was turned in to the Union County Animal Shelter with a lot of my friends. People came and looked and kept passing me up for other cute dogs. Let me say, I was happy to see my friends get a good home, but it was a little depressing to be passed over so many times.

Then one day I was excited to be chosen by a sweet young lady who welcomed me to be a part of her family. It was so awesome! But the excitement turned to heartache about a year later. The time came when she was planning to marry a man who also had lots of dogs. They decided some of us would have to be given up. THIS TIME, I was picked first. I thought my little heart would break. All I could think of was, after being passed over so many times, someone finally chose me. And now, they are giving me up.

That’s when Debbie came into my life. Animal Control called Debbie and asked her if she would be interested in coming to see me and maybe allowing me to live with her. I had no idea how it would go. I know this is not an original statement, but, It Was Love at First Sight. I looked at her, she looked at me, I jumped into her lap and she took me home to make me a part of her family. I am so blessed.

My Duties:
I don’t get to go on the listing interviews. My job can be described as a security guard and confidant for the team. I look at the pictures and share my thoughts on what I like best and why I would love to live in the houses we have listed. I also go out in the pontoon boat to look at properties on beautiful Lake Tillery. I love it when the team has lake listings!

I am also the most welcoming greeter in the world. It thrills me when people come by the office and say, “Oh, what a cute little puppy.” I am 7 years old (That’s 49 in human years) and it makes me feel young. You ladies know what I’m talking about.

Things I enjoy:
My favorite thing to do is to snuggle with my family and team.

I like going to church and seeing my friends there. My security duties extend to the church as I keep people safe from the pesky squirrels by chasing them up a tree.  I also guard the pond and lake, chasing the ducks away.

I like visiting my cousins Lelah, Maggie, and Max.

Be sure to drop by and see us at our office. I’ll be happy to greet you and protect you while you’re here.
