Description:

Sam came to us from a tearful owner.  The owner had lost his job, lost his house, wanted Sam to go to someone who could care for him in his mature age.  When the economy gets bad, no one ever thinks about the repercussions to our four legged friends.

Sam's former owner had this to say about him:

  • Sam is housebroken
  • He likes other dogs
  • He is happy and playful
  • Likes to cuddle
  • Walks great on a leash
  • Sleeps with family members
  • Likes to play with balls
  • Dislikes baths
  • Loves Ice
  • Has diet related skin problems

Because of Sam's diet related skin problems, his former owner found that Natural Choice Venison Meal and Whole Brown Rice was the best food for him.  As for treats, Sam does best with Rachael Ray's Crunchies with Real Lamb, Hill's Prescription Diet Hypoallergenic Treats, and Newman's Own Orangics' Peanut Butter treats. 

So here Sam is at the Shelter, and doesn't understand what he did wrong. He is so sweet and has become a staff favorite instantly! Won't you consider giving Sam a new home for the holidays?

Sam qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program! If adopted by a senior (55+) his adoption fee is $75.

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
