Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Sam. I am a lovely 8 year old gentlemen with lots of love and tons of energy left in me. I am a very sweet, intelligent black lab cross who loves other dogs and is good with cats in that they hold no interest for me at all!
I am a very active boy who love walks and can play fetch with my frisbee for hours. I would do best with a large fenced in yard to play in and no small children please. Even though I have so much energy, I also really love my snuggles. All I really want to do in this world is love and please my people .
I do experience some separation anxiety as I’m used to being with my people all the time. I would do best in a home where I will not be left alone for very long too often. My foster family is working with me on slowly becoming more comfortable being left alone and I am doing quite well with my foster family’s other dogs to help comfort me and keep me company – a forever home with other dogs would definitely help me adjust more easily. I do like to try to be the dominant dog in the house and would need an easy going sibling and to be watched closely until I settled into my new place in your pack.
I have good recall outside and do fairly well on my leash too. I do like to bark some when I’m playing in the yard with my foster brother or when I see other dogs walking by outside and am working on calming my excitement – having a good run every day helps a lot!
I am incredibly smart – you can tell by the way I cock my head to listen to you that I understand so much of what you’re saying, and I want so much to listen and learn! I learn and adapt to new situations very quickly – even as an older dog I bet I would do really well in agility courses.
I am on a special diet (no chicken or chickenmeal) for a skin condition, neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, flea and tick treated and microchipped. – and looking forward to finding a loving forever family of my own.
His adoption fee is $475. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt him can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption, and scroll to the bottom of the page for the application.
All applications are reviewed, and if we feel you might be a good fit for Sam, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit as well as for permission to speak with your vet. Repeated phone calls and emails with not advance your application. We are a volunteer, foster based rescue and there is no opportunity to meet Sam before an application has been approved.
We thankyou for respecting these guidelines.
